black diamond prices?

[Tuckins1]

Where can I find info on black diamonds? Anyone have experience buying them? Any good vendors? Thanks

Leibish & Co. has 5 in stock.

If it has a GIA report the black is of natural origin.
If there is no report the black is the result of treatment.

treated black diamonds are cheap... couple of hundred tops... the natural ones are much more...

Thanks. A co-worker is looking for black diamond earrings for his girlfriend and I don't have any experience with them, so I don't have a frame of reference.

Don't bother paying for high clarity.

As Ace mentioned, black diamonds are pretty inexpensive- relatively speaking.
Even natural ones.
Most that I've seen are treated.

I have seen some of the Mall stores offering pieces with mixed white and back melee- do you think that's what your co-worker wants Tuckins?

ID Jewelry's eBay store has some:

I don't know much about them, but $300 for 14k white gold settings alone is probably worth it.

Would they consider black spinel?
