Where Do Black Diamonds Come From?
Science is still debating where carbonado, the official term for black diamonds, comes from or how they are formed. Diamonds can turn a variety of different colors during formation, if an imperfection is introduced or if they are exposed to something harmful. It is thought by some that black diamonds were formed on an asteroid in outer space, which may have hit the earth a long time ago. Whether or not this is true, it is certain that they are amazingly beautiful and have been sadly overlooked in jewelry manufacturing until recent years.
What Is The Significance Of Black Diamond Engagement Rings?
Black diamond engagement rings are very eye catching and noticeable, more so than traditional colorless diamonds. There are several reasons besides their attractiveness that you may want to buy a black diamond engagement ring. In certain Eastern countries, black diamonds symbolize water. As humanity cannot survive without water, so the man cannot survive without the woman, which is why they use black diamonds in engagement rings. Black diamonds can also signify alluring, sensual mystique. This means a black diamond engagement ring can be used to propose to a lady whom you feel is incredibly special, attractive and sophisticated. That is, after all, what the essence of black diamonds are. Nobody is quite sure where they come from, but they are very striking, so they give off an air of mysterious, alluring beauty.
