Love white clear diamonds? Well, it’s time you explore the stunning and mysterious enhanced black diamonds and add them to your growing gemstone collection. Enhanced black diamonds have a different appeal than original white or colorless diamonds. These gemstones exude an enigmatic aura that gives them a stark contrast to white diamonds. Interestingly, this is the main reason for the recent growing popularity of black diamond jewelry. These diamonds are also more affordable compared to white, peerless diamonds.

What Is Natural Gemstone?

Black diamonds are nothing but natural white diamonds that acquire a dark hue when they are chemically treated. Although the physical structure of the diamond remains the same, they undergo a permanent color change. These beautiful gems are mostly greenish black or completely black in color but retain the hardness and tenacity of original diamonds. Read on to explore the different types of enhanced black diamonds and how you can take care of them to retain the shine and luster.

Different Types of Black Diamonds

Natural black diamonds occur in nature but are much more expensive than treated or synthetic black diamonds, which are artificially made in laboratories. You must be aware of the different types of black diamonds available online in the jewelry market to get one at the right price. If you want to add to your black gemstone list, then we have mentioned the ones that you should look out for below:

1. Natural Black Diamond

These black diamonds have a porous structure that is unusual and quite different from the characteristics of traditional white diamonds. They are entirely opaque, may not have the usual sparkle and shine, and are available in only one color, which is black. The diamond gets its color from the minute mineral inclusions of graphite or hematite that occur in large quantities and extend throughout the gemstone. The natural black diamond may be shaded in some areas due to natural graphitization due to the weather and atmospheric pressure.

2. Synthetic Black Diamond

Chemically treated diamonds are a lot cheaper than regular, natural diamonds. However, synthetic diamonds are not as cheap as treated diamonds. This is because creating these gemstones involves a lot of machinery, time, and labor. There is also a good market for synthetic colored gemstones like sapphires and blue stones, but there is no significant market for synthetic enhanced black diamonds. The overall expenditure to create these gems surpasses the acceptable selling price of the diamond resulting in a no-profit scenario.

3. Treated Black Diamonds

Most of the diamonds sold as black diamonds are treated as black diamonds. However, treated or enhanced black diamonds are natural and not ‘fake’ diamonds. Genuine, white diamonds are used through various processes, including radiation, to make them dark or black in color. The diamond gets this color due to the altered structure of its crystals. However, its physical form remains the same. Moreover, all the radiating procedures and chemical treatments do not decrease the value of the original diamond.

  • Do not apply body spray, perfume,  or cosmetics, as they can harm your precious jewel.
  • Avoid touching the bracelet too often because frequent handling can cause body oils from the skin to accumulate on the bracelet.
  • Never keep all gemstone jewelry in one place or allow them to rub against each other. Instead, keep your diamond jewelry in separate compartments to avoid scratches and abrasions on the gem’s surface.
  • Do not clean your diamond bracelet with a laser or streaming device. They are delicate gems that cannot take harsh cleaning.
  • Check the stones in your jewelry from time to time. If the gemstones are loose or shaky, get them fixed by your jeweler at once.
  • Precious jewels need special care. Remember to visit your jeweler and get your black diamond jewelry examined for flaws regularly.

Enhanced black diamonds do not require regular professional cleaning. However, it is easy to learn how to clean an enhanced black diamond bracelet so that it looks shiny and beautiful as new for years to come. Here’s how you can safely clean your black diamond bracelet at home.

  • Soak your bracelet in a small bowl filled with the cleaning solution you made for about half an hour. Take care to keep the bracelet immersed in the soap solution.
  • After half an hour, clean the diamond bracelet with a soft brush, paying attention to the inside of the bracelet and the edges.
  • Rinse the bracelet under warm water to wash off any remaining soap. Dry the bracelet with a soft, clean cloth. Allow it to air-dry.
