Black Diamond Ring – a Diamond Lover’s Dream
Acquiring a black diamond ring is a must for every respected
collector or diamond lover. It is a unique piece of jewelry, rare, beautiful,
and extremely precious.
A brief diamond history and legend
Diamonds were first mined in India
around 800 BC. The industry as we know it today, began in South
Africa at the turn of the century. The
legend says that a young boy was walking on the banks of the Orange
River and picked up a shiny stone; he liked that stone so much
where he placed it safe for many years to come. One day a geologist stopped by
and inspected the stone, the now young man had discovered it was a diamond.
The largest diamond deposits are found in Africa,
Siberia and Australia;
other deposits exist in many parts of the world including the U.S.A.
Mining for diamonds
There are two ways to mine diamonds – alluvial or panning
and the primary method, the shaft or vertical mining.
In this process the diamonds are mined from the loose earth
around the kimberlite pipe; when the hope gets too deep a vertical shaft is dug
and the pipe is accessed through horizontally.
Colored diamonds
Diamonds are mostly known as white or colorless. However
there are a number of colors which diamonds do come in naturally; they are
yellow or canary, blue, red, champagne and black. Black diamonds stand out as
elegant and sophisticated creating exquisite jewelry pieces such as a black
diamond ring, black diamond earrings, black diamond bracelets, the list is
endless.
Setting for a black diamond ring
For a black diamond ring, the best suitable setting would be
white gold as it brings out the glorious contrast and beauty of the gem stone.
You can of course choose platinum which will add even more to its value.
Even though a black diamond ring may not be a best pick for
an engagement ring, it has not been unheard of; today people want to be
authentic and inventive so they create different things to step out of the
monotony of life. A black diamond ring will do just that to the giver and the
receiver.
A black diamond ring is also a valued investment. Colored
diamonds value has increased over the years increasing their demand from year
to year. It will be a treasured and cherished piece of jewelry that will be
remembered for generations to come.
