I was wondering how many of you bees have black diamond engagement rings? Personally how well do they hold up and how often do you have to clean it, i know they have similar yet different properties from regular diamonds but how does the sparkle compare to a white diamond? Im thinking of possibly a 1-2ct solitare on a pave band, or with a white diamond halo.
Please post hand pics of yours! I would love to see them, especially from a front view =))
overstock.com had some pretty black diamond rings
also how do others react to your rings? Some ppl judge when the ring is not traditional which is a unfortunate, it should be want you want and as long as you love it, it shld be fine.

Have you seen Carrie Bradshaw’s ring on the Sex and the City 2 movie? It’s pretty cool and I think made black diamonds more popular recently. Sorry I don’t have one but I think they are really cool and I would love one as a right hand ring.

Black diamonds only absorb light and do not reflect it, so the only sort of sparkle you’d see is from the facets and the polishing. Black diamonds are opaque.

It’s not an e-ring, but it is a black diamond. GoldfishPie is right – it is the facets that make black diamonds sparkle. The largest stone on my ring isn’t very sparkly, but there aren’t many facets on it, either. The smaller black diamonds surrounding it are much more sparkly.
I love my black diamond, but I don’t think I’d want a black diamond engagement ring. Perfect as a right hand ring though!

I don’t personally have one, but I think they’re really striking, and cool! Don’t worry about what other people think, just do what makes you happy :]

I like the different options on this site, kind of saw exactly what you were describing. But I would find out some good online sites with ordering.
