The black diamonds

In jewelry, exclusivity and originality are directly related to the type of precious stones that make up the design, and to prove it to you we wanted to do it through black diamonds.

The existence and use of black diamonds is not as widespread as white diamonds and therefore for many people it is a really fascinating discovery.

Black diamonds are precious stones considered to be anomalies of nature in the universe of natural diamonds. An anomaly that is given by the inclusions of iron oxide that this gem contains.

There are many characteristics and peculiarities that these precious stones contain, such as the ones that we tell you about below:

- Black diamonds belong to the family of crystallized carbon.

- They have a density that is around 3.15 and 3.48.

- They do not give off any type of shine, nor do they reflect light since they are completely opaque.

- Although they are opaque, black diamonds are porous.

- They share a peculiarity with white diamonds because their hardness is also located at position 10 on the Mohs scale, the         highest level that exists. Therefore all diamonds, regardless of the color they present, are the hardest minerals.       

- Contrary to classic diamonds that were formed more than 3,000 million years ago, black diamonds were born much later, specifically only 100 million years ago.

- They are  extracted from alluvial deposits normally in Brazil and the Central African Republic.

Finally, I would like to emphasize that all the designs that contain this type of gems exude magic and exquisite elegance.
