At first I thought it was just a deeply coloured diamond, but I really don't see any appeal at all in black diamonds. Maybe this is just a stunt? I can't believe a celebrity would settle for that.

I saw one setting here on PS with black diamonds and it was interesting and beautiful. I guess whatever floats peoples boats.

But think about his three connected band rings with the airline between them, and think about it in black and white! I love cognac diamonds too! And omg I was out the other day and a mutual friend introduced me to someone who just got engaged and bought his fi a 9.5 ct pear cognac diamond, and it was halo set, no joke!!! He showed me a pic on his iphone, but I can not wait to see this thing in person!! Leon actually has a small cognac diamond for sale on his site, and we saw it when we were there, and I really liked it!

thing2of2 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 7,675 Last Post: 11/25/2009 Member Since: 1/1/2007	Yeah, I've seen a few black diamonds and they don't sparkle at all-they're just solid black. I think they'd make a cool band or maybe even a cool halo, but I wouldn't want one for a center stone. And if she was going with a black diamond for an e-ring and they're super cheap, why didn't she at least get a BIG black diamond?!

lyra Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,764 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 7/13/2007	Well, at least it will be a durable stone. I love cognac diamonds. When I saw the pic that's more what I was expecting until I read the description. I'd like to see a black diamond that size IRL, up close. So no sparkle or anything?

With "wine fingers" (thanks Deco!)!!! Let's try to remember that at one time our poor Carmen was married to Dennis Rodman. That being said, I am not surprised at her taste in engagement rings. She's a little outside of what we PSr's would consider "good taste." ETA: Just to clarify, I do want to say that I have nothing against black diamonds, but the setting plus the size/apparent shape of the center stone left much to be desired and I think she could've done better.

miraclesrule Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,573 Last Post: 11/25/2009 Member Since: 3/29/2008	Well, I've dated a few before I discovered the extent of their drinking. This guy looks like the worst of one of them. I also have a now sober ex-alcoholic brother. They get a characteristic look around the eyes. A darkening and mottled skin. I don't know how to explain it. I think it's a liver thing. Actually any conditiont that really affects the liver does that, I think. It's just the first thing I noticed about that picture of the two of them. He sure doesn't look like he wakes up every morning for a shot of wheatgrass. _____________________________ Feeling Blue and Blech Today

nevaehjewelry Rough Rock Total Posts: 1 Last Post: 4/29/2008 Member Since: 4/29/2008	Natural Black Diamonds are a beautiful thing when nice quality gems are found, not all beautiful gemstones are transparent (Turquoise, Coral, Onyx, etc...) In regards to the "sparkle" Black Diamonds actually have a slightly higher luster than Colorless Diamonds. It can be difficult to determine if a Black Diamond is natural unless you have extensive gemological training but with that being said people are willing to pay large amounts for certified or even uncertified (from a trusted source) Natural Black Diamonds. In the same way that each person has different taste in clothes, art, mates, etc... Black Diamonds are a perfect way to express ones "true colors". Wether you wear them in a Black Rhodiumed White Gold setting to get a modern, rock/chic look, or to achieve a more old world/gothic look you can set Black Diamonds in a nice yellow or rose gold, or for the more colorfull personalitys out there they can easily be paired with vibrant gems such as Pink Sapphire, Ruby, Emerald, Blue Sapphire, Yellow Diamonds, etc to create a more funky specific look. I wear a lot of Black Diamonds personally, and they are certainly not everyones preference but I think for Carmen Electra there could have been no better choice. If you would like to see black diamonds in motion, please take a look at this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoZcrbV4Egw Theodore Mander President/Jewelry Designer NevaeH Jewelry

It suits them, so for that reason alone I like it. I always admire anyone who simply gets what they want - colorless diamond, black diamond, low color diamond, gemstone, no diamond at all.

For some reason I find this really funny! :) The humour possibly arises due to her extolling the virtues of her 'unique' black diamond ring... which was obviously only acceptable when she thought it cost a lot of money!
