Black Diamond Engagement Rings

What Do Black Diamond Engagement Rings Symbolize?

They often portray strength and love. Whether you've been together for three years or three decades, a black diamond engagement ring is a unique way to showcase how much you care for your bride and the unconditional relationship you have, both now and into the future. It's also worth to mention that contrary to superstition, we believe that the black color visible within the stone doesn't provide any good or bad luck. It's just a really beautiful black stone!

Is a Black Diamond Ring In Style?

Absolutely! Over 20 years ago, black diamond engagement rings appeared and took the jewelry world by storm. Today, black diamond stones are used to create engagement rings that respect the traditional look while providing brides with a piece of fine jewelry that also reflects their unique style. They are often used in an engagement ring as accent stones to provide a little "pop", however more brides and grooms are using them as an alternative to the traditional white diamond center stone to achieve that absolutely striking non-conventional look.

What Is a Black Diamond?

Is it a real diamond? As the name implies, it's literally a diamond that has a tint. This shouldn't be confused with a gemstone such as sapphire for example because the fact of the matter is, it's a natural diamond that has an added hue to it. With that being said, they come in 2 different variants, natural and treated. A natural black diamond is mined from earth as is. It comes out as a rough diamond bearing all the qualities that makes it unique, hence, these types of stones are extremely rare and expensive.

The second type is a treated black diamond. These are simply natural white diamonds that are put through complex processes that induce the color into them. For the average person, it's safe to say that it's a natural diamond that has an added black color to it. At Barkev's we prefer to use treated diamonds as they are simply brilliant and come in many beautiful cuts.

Can you scratch it? Well, armed with the knowledge above, you can easily differentiate a real diamond from other black gems. A simple rub against a rough surface such as a wall, table or even a slit with a knife should leave it unharmed. In case you didn't know, diamonds are used in heavy industrial equipment such as mining, excavating machines and other drill bits to melt through almost anything that comes in it's way. This is why it's one of the world's most expensive material!
