Natural black diamonds, made to order

Each black diamond we set begins as a natural diamond. Like most black diamonds in fine jewelry, it is then heat-treated, which turns its tiny inclusions to graphite and leaves a deep, even, permanent black. It remains a true diamond, just as hard as any other. Every ring is made to order in your choice of metal and center stone, sized to fit and crafted in-house, as Barkev's rings have been for more than 40 years. To compare stones, see our guide to identifying a real black diamond.

Choosing a shape, setting and metal

Pear and marquise centers suit vintage and nature-inspired designs, round and oval centers sit beautifully in halo and solitaire settings, and princess, emerald and radiant cuts lend a cleaner, architectural line. White gold and platinum offer the sharpest contrast with a black center, rose gold softens it, and yellow gold brings out the vintage warmth of pear and marquise designs. For an engagement ring and wedding band designed as a pair, explore our black diamond bridal sets.

Black Diamond Engagement Rings FAQ

Are black diamonds real diamonds?

Yes. Black diamonds are real diamonds, just as hard as any other diamond. Ours begin as natural diamonds and are heat-treated for a deep, even black, which is the standard for black diamonds across the jewelry industry. The color is permanent.

Is a black diamond a good choice for an engagement ring?

Yes. Black diamonds rate 10 on the Mohs hardness scale, like every diamond, so they resist scratches and hold up beautifully to everyday wear. A well-made setting protects the stone from hard knocks, as it would any diamond.

How much does a black diamond engagement ring cost?

At Barkev's, black diamond engagement rings range from about $2,000 to over $7,000. The design of the setting and its white diamond accents usually affect the price more than the black center itself. Our black diamond price guide breaks down what drives the cost.

Can I choose the center shape, metal or ring size?

Yes. Many of our settings are offered with several center shapes, and every ring is made to order in gold or platinum and sized to fit. For a design you don't see here, our team would be happy to discuss a custom piece and/or alterations.

Can I see the ring before I buy it?

Yes. With our See Sample at Home program, we ship you a sample of any ring to try for up to seven days, with free shipping both ways. When you're ready to purchase, your ring is made to order in your chosen metal and center stone.

What does a black diamond engagement ring symbolize?

A black diamond is often chosen to symbolize strength, individuality and a commitment made on your own terms. Our guide to the meaning of black diamond engagement rings explores the traditions behind it.
