Black Diamonds

Black diamonds — also known as carbonado — are opaque diamonds with a dramatic, bold appearance unlike any other gemstone. Their intense black colour comes from dense inclusions of graphite and other minerals that absorb all light, creating a striking dark lustre.

Black diamonds have gained significant popularity in men's jewellery, alternative engagement rings, and contemporary fashion pieces. Their bold aesthetic works particularly well with white gold and platinum, creating dramatic contrast.

At MOH London, our black diamond collection includes treated and natural black diamonds, all clearly disclosed and independently graded. Black diamonds are significantly more affordable than colourless diamonds, making larger statement pieces accessible.
