These black diamonds are 100% natural, earth-mined diamonds, forged and crystallized in the depths of the earth for millions of years.

Most of our diamonds were mined with 70-90% blackness and opacity. Then it is inserted into a machine that imitates the heat & pressure conditions in which the diamonds are originally forged, and expedites that process, which eventually results and a completely pitch black and opaque diamond.

In metaphysical terms, a black diamond resonates with deep, grounding frequencies that symbolize strength, protection, and transformation. It channels a stabilizing energy that empowers the wearer to stand firm, embrace change, and radiate inner confidence

Diana Rafael focuses on natural diamonds as we believe they will continue to hold value for the near and far future. Diamonds that were created by the earth and mined from it are the real deal.

Man-made / lab-grown diamonds will be displayed on the website occasionally. Every piece set with man-made diamonds will display this information very clearly. Every man-made diamond will have physical markings on it to differ it from natural diamonds.

Every item is delivered with a certificate of appraisal and authentication.

Diana Rafael uses the services of some appraisal institutes. Every institute was carefully inspected and chosen for their high standards.

Today (the year 2021), there are 2 types of diamonds in the world: Natural diamonds (AKA earth-mined diamonds), and man-made diamonds (AKA lab-grown diamonds).

Both these types are evaluated with the 4 C's: Color, Clarity, Cut and Carat Weight, as well as their Light Performance features.

As all types of diamonds (and gems) have a clarity grade, all these types of gems are suitable for Enhancement.

So whether a diamond's color/clarity was enhanced is unlinked to how this particular gem was created (artificial/natural causes).

For any type of diamond, we apply a scientific approach to enhance the diamond's clarity. These approaches include 2 main methods: Fracture Filling and Laser Drilling.

The certificate of authenticity should always mention the type of process that was practiced on the diamond and whether it is earth-mined or a lab-grown diamond, as well as all the diamond's credentials and settings information.
