Why Black Diamonds?

Now that colored diamonds are becoming increasingly popular, black diamonds are slowly making their way into engagement rings as a unique alternative to the traditional white diamonds. Of course, there’s no reason a bride-to-be has to choose! Combining both black and white diamonds offers a stunning contrast and looks beautiful. What’s more, black diamonds are just as durable and resistant to damage as white diamonds are.

Designs

With so many designs to choose from, you can create the perfect white and black diamond engagement ring that fits your preferences and your budget.

For metal choices, black and white diamonds complement a white-toned metal much better than they do a yellow metal. Silver, platinum, white gold and palladium all share the same white hues and look stunning when paired with black and white diamonds.

There are a variety of diamond cuts to choose from as well, although most black diamonds are brilliant cut. Brilliant cut black diamonds pair wonderfully with white diamonds of the same cut, but even baguette or emerald cuts would work to add a distinct appearance to a black and white diamond engagement ring.

Channel settings are also a popular choice when incorporating black and white diamonds into an engagement ring design, but often these stones are put into a pave setting for a sparkling, beautiful look.

Finding Black and White Diamond Engagement Rings

Believe it or not, most jewelers will carry a selection of black and white diamond engagement rings for you to look over. However, you may want to consider customizing your own unique engagement ring to fit the exact style specifications you prefer.

Most jewelers would be happy to work with you to custom design a black and white diamond engagement ring. It’s also a good idea to get a feel for what black diamonds look like, for one, as well as what different engagement ring styles are available.

Online retailers may also carry a wider selection of pre-designed black and white diamond engagement rings. If you do not want to take the time to customize your own ring but are unhappy with the jeweler’s selection, check various online retailers for a ring that may be the perfect one for you.

It’s also important to learn how to clean diamonds, because black diamonds need the same care and treatment as white diamonds do. A clean ring will allow the diamonds to sparkle brilliantly, so you should make sure you either clean the ring at home frequently or allow a professional jeweler to deep clean your engagement ring once every few months or so.

White and black diamonds are beautiful when paired together. If you incorporate these stones into your engagement ring, you will have a breathtaking ring that will be a joy to wear and show off for years to come.
