Hi,
I wanted to come show off my 1.05 Ct black diamond. I have read so many posts about how they shouldn't be a main stone and that they are crazed, pitted, very little polish and poorly cut.
I wanted a black diamond as my main stone because for one it is different for two black is my favorite color.
I was looking for just the right one. I have seen so many that were just as many of you have described and even my jeweler advised me not to do it. He hates the things.
I have a 1.25 9mm wide wedding band that I love but all the diamonds i got were lost beside it. I had a .79 SI-1 G marquise mounted sideways and it looked out of place. A larger bolder diamond was needed.
So I found a loose 1.05 Black diamond almost Euro cut. Deeper than a modern cut it had wonderful polish no crazing, pitting and had a good cut.
I then searched for the perfect mount. I settled on a vintage 1040's NOS 14k 4 prong solitaire.
I took both to my jeweler and he flipped asking where I got such a beautiful black diamond.
It is very uniform in color all but a small pin dot that you can see in the pictures is almost white.
Sorry I noticed both rings are in need of a cleaning... Sorry about that but you get the idea.
Oh and yes one of my diamonds in my band in the middle row closest to the solitaire is broke.. Long story behind that.. I have left it because it is just that a story.
