8-6mm Black Pear Diamond

8-6mm Black Pear Diamond Trade Information

Natural black diamonds are real diamonds with a high concentration of graphite, pyrite, or hematite inclusions, which give them their opaque, black appearance. Unlike colorless diamonds that sparkle with internal fire, black diamonds reflect light in a more metallic, mirror-like way, offering a bold and dramatic look.
Natural black diamonds differ from treated black diamonds, which are irradiated or heat-treated to achieve the black color.
Shape (Pear):
The pear shape, also known as a teardrop, is a hybrid of the round brilliant and marquise shapes. It has a rounded end on one side and a pointed tip on the other. This cut offers elegance and a slimming effect on fingers when worn in rings, and is also popular in pendants and earrings.
Cut & Faceting:
Black diamonds are generally rose-cut or modified brilliant cut to enhance their surface luster, as they do not have the same sparkle as white diamonds due to their opaque nature.
Carat & Size:
Black diamonds often appear slightly smaller than colorless diamonds of the same carat weight due to their dark color absorbing light, but they are usually priced lower per carat than white diamonds.
