Gold Black Diamond Pendants

Yes, a black diamond is a real diamond, made of the same material as a colourless diamond. Its deep colour may come from natural inclusions of graphite and other minerals or from special colour treatment. Black diamonds are opaque, so they absorb light rather than reflecting it the way colourless diamonds do.

A black diamond symbolises strength, self-confidence, resilience and mystery. Thanks to its distinctive colour, it is also associated with individuality, courage and eternal love. Black diamond jewellery suits those looking for an elegant yet unconventional accent.

The value of a one-carat black diamond can range from roughly 100 to 5 000 euros or more. The price depends above all on whether the colour is natural or achieved by treating the stone, as well as on its origin, quality of cut, proportions and certificate.

Colour-treated natural black diamonds usually cost around 100–1 000 euros per carat, laboratory-grown black diamonds usually cost around 200–600 euros, while rare stones with natural colour can reach 1 500–5 000 euros per carat or more.

When assessing the price of a piece of jewellery, the diamond weight is not the only factor. The price is also influenced by the gold fineness and weight, the design, any other gemstones and the complexity of the craftsmanship. Black diamonds are often cut deeper, so a stone of the same carat weight may look smaller from above than a colourless diamond.

The choice depends on the style you want and how the piece will be worn. A black diamond is considerably harder, more scratch-resistant and more valuable, making it especially suitable for luxury jewellery worn often. Onyx has a smooth, uniform black colour and is usually more affordable, but it is softer and needs more careful care. For durability and exceptional value, a black diamond is the more common choice.

No, there is no reason to believe that black diamonds bring bad luck. This belief comes from old legends and various cultural superstitions. In other traditions, by contrast, dark stones were regarded as a symbol of protection, good fortune and a strong marriage.

Today, black diamonds are associated with strength, passion, resilience and individuality. They are widely used in contemporary jewellery, including pendants, rings and other pieces for everyday wear or special occasions.
