When you hear the word \u201cdiamond,\u201d you probably think of a clear, colorless precious stone. However, there are also many different colored diamonds, including red, green, pink, and even natural fancy black diamonds. Whether created in a lab or occurring naturally<\/a>, black diamonds have the same chemical makeup as their colorless counterparts. Therefore, they are every bit as genuine as the colorless diamonds that you are more familiar with. This post is strictly educational; Clean Origin carries no black diamond assortment at this time, but we encourage you to seek out any and all ethical alternatives to <\/em>mined diamonds<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

People in different areas may have different opinions of black diamonds. Some cultures regard them as bad luck, or even a curse, while others believe that they have protective properties. Despite being more scarce than colorless diamonds, people didn\u2019t consider these diamonds as high-end gemstones until the late 20th century. Today, jewelry enthusiasts are incorporating black diamond earrings, rings, and others into their collections more than ever before in the recent past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are Black Diamonds More Expensive?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have been researching the color grade of diamonds, you may know that colorless diamonds are more expensive than colored diamonds. You can end up paying a pretty penny for fine jewelry with traditional colorless diamonds. This is true even though the human eye can\u2019t really tell the difference between clear diamonds and diamonds with slight color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there are diamonds that cost even more than colorless diamonds: fancy-colored diamonds. Fancy-colored diamonds are rare and actually more expensive. Fancy-colored diamonds naturally occur in a wide array of colors, such as red, yellow, blue, and even white diamonds, to name a few. Of all the colors, natural black diamonds are extremely rare compared to other diamonds. Natural black diamond rings can be the most rare and most expensive of all. Black diamonds are also referred to as carbonado diamonds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How are Black Diamonds Made?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Diamond suppliers source natural black diamonds from mines<\/a> just like other natural diamonds. They occur very rarely naturally and have environmental effects due to the impact of mining<\/a>. There\u2019s also another category of black diamonds: treated black diamonds. These diamonds are made by treating natural white diamonds with heat and radiation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lab created black diamonds have the same look, longevity, and chemical composition as natural black diamonds. Lab created black diamonds (and other lab created fancy color diamonds) are real diamonds and can cost up to 40% less than natural black diamonds. Plus, you get the added benefit of knowing your jewelry didn\u2019t hurt the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
