Black Diamonds: A Buying Guide

When people think of diamonds, they usually picture bright, sparkling stones. But black diamonds are different. They’re dark, mysterious, and bold—perfect for anyone who wants something a little more unique and special. Whether you’re shopping for an engagement ring, a gift, or just something stylish for yourself, black diamonds are worth considering.

At Premium Jewels, we’ve noticed that more and more people are choosing black diamonds. Let’s take a look at what makes them so special and what to know before buying one.

What Exactly is a Black Diamond?

A black diamond is a type of diamond, but it doesn’t shine like traditional white diamonds. Instead, black diamonds have a deep, rich color that looks almost like polished coal. They’re dark and bold, making them perfect for people who want jewelry that’s unique.

The black color comes from minerals and tiny imperfections inside the diamond. These imperfections are what give it its unique black color, making it different from clear or white diamonds.

Natural vs. Treated Black Diamonds

There are two main types of black diamonds: natural and treated.

  1. Natural Black Diamonds: These diamonds get their color naturally. They’re quite rare and can be more expensive because of their natural beauty.
  2. Treated Black Diamonds: These diamonds start as gray or nearly clear diamonds. Then, they’re treated with heat or radiation to turn them black. Treated black diamonds are usually more affordable and still look beautiful.

At Premium Jewels, we carry both types, so you can choose the one that fits your budget and style.

What to Look for When Buying a Black Diamond

Black diamonds are a little different from regular diamonds, so here’s what to keep in mind:

  1. Color and Consistency
    The color of a black diamond should be deep and even, without any big spots or changes in color. At Premium Jewels, we make sure our black diamonds have a smooth, rich black color, so your jewelry looks beautiful from every angle.
  2. Cut and Shape
    Black diamonds can come in various shapes, like round, cushion, or pear. They don’t sparkle like white diamonds, so the cut is more about showing off their shape and color. If you’re unsure which shape you like, our team at Premium Jewels can help you find one that suits your style.
  3. Clarity and Inclusions
    While white diamonds are valued for clarity (having no imperfections), black diamonds get their color from natural inclusions. So, for black diamonds, inclusions aren’t a problem. What matters more is that the diamond looks solid and doesn’t have any weak spots. At Premium Jewels, we carefully check every black diamond to make sure it’s strong and beautiful.
  4. Size
    Because black diamonds don’t sparkle as much, they often look larger for their carat size than white diamonds do. So, if you’re looking for a bold look, even a smaller black diamond can make a big statement.

Why Black Diamonds Are Great for Engagement Rings

Black diamonds are becoming popular for engagement rings. They’re a stylish choice for anyone who wants a ring that stands out from the traditional diamond. Black diamonds are bold, unique, and perfect for couples who love modern, one-of-a-kind styles.
At Premium Jewels, we offer a range of black diamond engagement rings and bands. If you’re looking for something memorable and unique, a black diamond ring is a fantastic choice.

How to Take Care of Your Black Diamond

Black diamonds are tough, but they still need care to stay in top shape. Here’s how to look after your black diamond:

  1. Clean Regularly: Use warm water with a mild soap and a soft brush to clean your diamond. Avoid harsh chemicals, as they might damage the stone’s finish.
  2. Store Carefully: Keep your black diamond separate from other jewelry to prevent scratches. A soft pouch or a separate compartment in your jewelry box is a good option.
