People ask for black diamonds all the time, and it's a tough request in regards to responsible sourcing. The other issue is that a truly opaque black diamond can be quite brittle due to heat treatment which gives it a uniform appearance. As an alternative, we decided to start offering small black spinel stones for accents, and have recently added a limited collection of black spinel rose-cuts and brilliant cuts for centre stone options: ftjco.com/uniquegems.

This lovely ring is our Trellis Solitaire, featuring a 7 mm round checkerboard-top black spinel, expertly set in talon prongs.
