When it comes to fashion many individuals endeavor to make a statement that is particularly theirs. Often these fashions can be labeled as cutting edge, trendy or possibly bizarre.

Some of those fashion statements could include spiked hair, extreme colored highlights, revealing clothes, etc. Often the individuals who indulge in these fashion statements wish to bring attention to them and be considered as people who march to the beat of their own drum.

In addition to these fashion statements, there are those who wish to make statements about themselves and use accessories. Some of those accessories could include the latest in designer handbags, cosmetics, jewelry, etc.

Often, the jewelry that is used by individuals to draw attention contains large and unusual precious stones. In addition, there is a trend that involves the use of colored diamonds. These diamonds can be range in color from white, blue, green, pink purple, brown, yellow and orange.

In addition, a colored diamond that is becoming increasingly popular is the black diamond. If considering the purchase of a black diamond, it is important to know a little bit about the background of black diamonds and potential use.

Background of Black Diamond

This particular colored diamond has been part of the diamond scene for some period of time. It has just been lately that their value as part of fashionable jewelry has been developed.

One particular mined black diamond is found in the Country of Brazil and was used extensively for drilling purposes. This was due to the fact that as a black diamond it was not a popular gemstone for jewelry, but still had the indestructible qualities of a diamond. In addition, adding to its unpopularity the diamond is irregular in shape and not completely hardened.

This feature of the black diamond affects the texture and makes it somewhat absorbent. Therefore, because of the perceived lesser quality of the black diamond, its color and that it gave the appearance of being lack luster, this particular colored diamond was thought to be unmarketable.

Potential Use of Black Diamond

However, despite the apparent obstacles, black diamonds have become popular as part of a new jewelry trend. In fact, because of their color they have become very stylish and sought after.

Oddly enough, this has allowed the black diamond to become an expensive purchase for individuals looking for that unique piece of jewelry. Specifically, it can be a stunning and eye catching piece when crafted on to a man's ring.

It is, however, important to remember that there are qualities issues with the diamond black. Therefore, like any fad or trend, this particular diamond and its current popularity may fade.
