Diamond rings can come in different colors, from white, pink and yellow to blue, green and red. One of the most exquisite varieties is black diamond ring which has become incredibly popular within the previous decades.
Black diamonds – or carbonados, which is traslated from Portuguese as “carbonized” or “burned” – were found in Brazil and central Africa about two centuries ago. Very often these gems aren't well crystallized and have compact or porous texture. In addition, many black diamonds aren't completely “black”, varying from gray to dark gray, which, of course, doesn't make them more attractive. Nevertheless, black diamond ring style is widespread all over the world, due to its rarity and refinement.
Apart from their rarity, black diamonds are also famous for their considerable hardness, – in fact, along with white diamonds, carbonados represent the hardest minerals on earth, requiring not less than 6,000 pounds to press. Thanks to their matchless qualities, black diamonds can be used in industry; thus, they were applied for breaking other rocks in the Suez Canal's construction.
Among the best-known black diamonds are the 67-carat cushion-shaped Black Orloff or “Eye of Brahma”, the 202-carat diamond found in Africa and 350-carat diamond of Bahia discovered in Brazil.
