Spotlight on Salt and Pepper Diamonds:

Salt and Pepper Diamonds: The Beauty of Imperfect Natural Diamonds

I use salt and pepper diamonds in many of my designs. I’m drawn to their depth and unusual characteristics that are naturally created by the earth.

Salt and pepper diamond jewelry has personality. The natural imperfections in the stones are part of what makes them so compelling. In a world where perfection has long defined the diamond industry, the women and men drawn to salt and pepper diamonds are rewriting the rules. Instead of flawless clarity, these diamonds celebrate their inclusions... and they feel pretty powerful to wear.

One customer said after receiving her ring, "The ring is just so gorgeous. The center diamond has such mystery and depth, and together there are so many rainbows and sparkles. I just love it"

What Are Salt and Pepper Diamonds?

Salt and pepper diamonds fit well in modern heirloom jewelry. They are natural diamonds that contain a mix of black and white inclusions.

“Salt” refers to the lighter or white inclusions

“Pepper” refers to the darker, carbon-like inclusions

…Meaning what?  Meaning your stone is totally unique, totally yours. They take symbolic jewelry to the next level.

Salt and pepper diamonds can appear: 

• heavily speckled

• icy, misty or cloudy

• dark and stormy

• translucent with scattered inclusions

• galaxy-like with dramatic contrast
