Diamonds by themselves are considered one of the most coveted gemstones, but they can become even rarer when they are colored. Although the coloration of diamonds is caused by an imperfection in the stone, colored diamonds are still sought by collectors worldwide because they make the gemstones one-of-a-kind.
These tough but marvelous stones come in almost any color imaginable - red, pink, green, brown, violet, yellow, and black. You name it, a diamond in that color has been mined at some point.
However, the raging fad these days are the black diamonds. Black diamonds don't have the luster that white diamonds give off, but they are valuable in their own way. Because they are rare, it is more difficult to find black diamonds of the same sizes and cuts so dealers have to look far and wide just to manufacture a special jewelry setting.
It has become the trend to create men's rings using black diamonds, especially for wedding rings. Traditionally, wedding rings for men and women were simple bands with no stones whatsoever. The belief was that the rings must not have holes in them to signify an unbroken circle, representing eternity.
For the past several decades, however, diamonds have been set into the rings as they add elegance and glamor to the rings. The problem was that many grooms weren't too comfortable with the idea of using white diamonds on their matching rings, claiming that these stones were too feminine.
The designers' answer to this dilemma? Black diamonds. Although they don't sparkle like white diamonds do, black diamonds impart a masculine feel to them and retain the elegance of regular diamonds.
Pieces of art
When set in white gold or platinum, black diamonds all the more stand out. They have emerged as popular presents for men, with pave settings the most commonly used for men's rings.
Black diamonds appreciate in value each year because of they are very rare. They are mostly mined in Central Africa and parts of Brazil. Although some are not quite black - that is, nearly gray - they are still classified as black diamonds.
In India, black diamonds carry a legendary mysticism. It is believed that black diamonds represents snake's eyes so they were once dedicated to a revered Indian god. Rare black diamonds have also been used for other sacred statues such as the Buddha.
Traders now constantly look for black diamonds because of their increasing popularity. When combined with regular white diamonds in the creation of black-and-white diamond rings, black diamonds become valuable pieces in masterfully crafted works of art.
