Black Diamond Rings may be your best diamond rings

When the man decides to ask his loved one to marry him, usually what we see like in the old Hollywood romantic movies-he kneels down and presents her with beautiful sparkly diamond engagement ring. In nowadays, our style preferences have changed but one thing has never changed and that are the diamond rings. Should black diamond rings be our selection for our perfect ring?

Black Diamond Rings are pretty much in fashion in the past couple of years. And not only Carry from Sex And The City had her engagement ring with black diamonds, but I believe every fashionista should have black diamond ring if not engagement ring with black diamonds. They can come in wide variety of metal settings although me personally I prefer black diamond rings set up in white gold instead of yellow gold. Although you can make combination and get black and white diamond rings where on white gold metal setting, you can make combination of white and black diamonds that create perfect contrast of shiny, sparkly effect that white diamonds have and mat effect of the black diamond.

Black diamond rings for me are little bit of paradox. Usually when we talk about diamonds, first thing you think of is their sparkle that makes them stunning. Well unlike the sparkly white diamonds, the black diamond rings don't sparkle, because they are black. They simply have black color which from physics point of view, doesn't let them shine because they absorb the light rather than reflect it.

These black diamond rings or so called "Carbonado" diamond rings are made of black diamonds. Some people ask if these black diamonds are real diamonds. Yes, they are real diamonds, it's just that they have a different crystalline structure and color.  The regular crystal structure of the diamond is what causes the sparkle: light comes in, bounces around in a predictable way, and is bounced out.  Black diamonds have a "polycrystalline" structure, which means it's kind of like many diamonds smashed together.  Since they're all at different angles, and so you can't carve it to make sparkles.  Instead, the light just gets absorbed, making it black.

It's still a pure carbon crystal, so in Brazil where they usually come from-they call it at "Carbonado". I have seen in many jewelry stores they sell black diamond rings as exotic diamonds, but to be honest they don't sell so well like the other white diamonds because for some people they are not very pretty. 


Of course I disagree with this saying that black diamond rings are not so attractive because of the black diamonds color, but at the end everything is so relative and everything depends on people's individual taste and style.

To prove my point that black diamond rings can be very beautiful, I have attached some pictures below. For me black diamond rings are must have for every fashionable and stylish woman. Black diamond rings are very mysterious and perfect choice for sophisticated, strong and independent woman. There are so many beautiful black diamond rings or black and white diamonds rings that you can choose from and the options are endless.
