Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it..
Confucius
There is a common misconception that diamonds are usually always white in color.
However, not only do diamonds occur in wide variety of shades ranging from yellow, pink, green, blue, black etc., these natural colors are considered more valuable and command a high premium due to high consumer demand for such rare stones.
Black diamonds get their color due to presence of dark colored inclusions, however most of the commercial variety that is sold to the consumers are subject to irradiation and heat treatment to attain the jet black color. They are also graded differently and cost less than traditional white diamonds.
Since the last few decades, black diamonds have rose in prominence and have managed to stay in the limelight, thanks to Hollywood and TV celebrities flaunting their edgy black diamond styles at red carpet events and public appearances.
Independent designers have also kept the interest level high in this category by creating stunning and trendy jewelry which highlight the beauty of the stone and offer a fresh and daring look.
