Black Diamond Earrings

The black diamond embodies modern elegance and mystery. Choosing black diamond earrings means expressing a bold style while remaining refined. Unlike white diamonds, its brilliance is deeper, almost metallic. It's an ideal gemstone for a distinctive look, whether as studs or hoops. Suitable for both men and women, it pairs beautifully with white gold or rose gold.

In fine jewellery, the black diamond symbolizes inner strength, resilience, and individuality. Associated with power and mystery, it appeals to lovers of rare jewellery. This gemstone is also prized for its distinctive character, perfect for creating unique jewellery. It works equally well in men's earrings and elegant women's earrings.

A white diamond is transparent and reflects light brilliantly, while a black diamond is opaque and absorbs light, giving it unique depth. The black diamond contains natural inclusions that create its dark colour. It's just as durable (10/10 on the Mohs scale) and can be polished to reveal a beautiful lustre. It's a bold and elegant alternative to traditional diamonds for your earrings.

Use a soft cloth and warm soapy water to gently clean your gold earrings. Avoid harsh chemicals and remove your jewellery when swimming or exercising. Store them in their case to prevent impact. The black diamond is robust, but the precious metal (white gold, yellow gold, or rose gold) can scratch if mishandled.

Yes. All our black diamonds are certified and traceable, in compliance with the Kimberley Process. They come from responsible sources and are selected for their quality. A certificate of authenticity can be provided upon request for each pair of black diamond earrings.

18k white gold is often recommended to highlight the intensity of the black diamond. Rose gold creates an elegant contrast, while yellow gold brings a more classic touch. At Mayuri Paris, we work exclusively with high-quality precious metals: 18k gold, vermeil, and platinum.

A solitaire earring highlights a single central diamond, often as a stud. It's a minimalist and timeless choice. The black diamond hoop is a round earring often set with small black diamonds around all or part of the circle, for an elegant and luminous finish. Both styles suit women and men equally well.

Our earrings use different setting types: prong (often 4-prong), bead, bezel, or pavé setting. The choice depends on the desired style: a prong setting showcases the diamond, while a bezel setting surrounds it with gold. All our settings are handcrafted to ensure strength and refinement.

The term "18-carat" or "18k" applies to the metal, not the gemstone: it indicates gold containing 75% pure gold. The black diamond itself is graded differently from white diamonds: its natural opaque colour and internal structure are unique. At Mayuri, we select only gem-quality black diamonds, carefully polished.

Yes, certain styles in our black diamond earring collection are available in vermeil, an alloy of silver coated with a thick layer of 18k gold. Vermeil offers an excellent balance between quality and accessibility, while maintaining the elegance of a precious metal jewellery piece.

We offer the possibility to create unique jewellery with black diamonds: choice of gemstone, metal (recycled 18k gold), setting type, engraving options, and more. Our artisans can also adapt an existing design to your preferences or create a fully bespoke piece. It's an excellent option for a personalized gift.

The black diamond is often combined with masculine metals like white gold for an elegant style. Some men's earring designs also incorporate other dark precious stones like onyx. The black diamond remains the gemstone of choice for a masculine, confident, and timeless jewellery piece.

The 4-prong setting is a setting technique where four thin precious metal prongs hold the precious stone in place. This type of setting is ideal for diamond earrings as it maximizes the light passing through the diamond, revealing its full brilliance. It's a timeless classic in fine jewellery.

Each pair of black diamond earrings from Mayuri Paris is handcrafted, making it unique jewellery. Black diamonds are individually selected, and each setting is carefully created by our artisans. You can also choose a fully custom creation for a truly exclusive accessory.

For black diamond earrings, we recommend an 18-carat gold alloy (75% pure gold). 18k white gold creates an elegant contrast, yellow gold brings warmth and classicism, and rose gold offers a contemporary touch. Each alloy is chosen for its durability and refined aesthetic.
