Black Diamond Engagement Rings, grown in light.
A dark stone with a sharp outline. This black diamond engagement ring collection gathers settings drawn around a black center, and many trace the band with lab-grown diamond accents, putting the dark stone among small points of white. The product page takes your center shape, metal and finger size; the black center is one you choose in the next step.

Opaque stone, glossy facets
Being opaque, a black diamond returns none of the rainbow flashes a colorless stone throws. The eye reads an even, inky black and a polished gleam across each facet, so the outline does most of the talking. Asscher, emerald and princess centers look crisp and geometric; oval, pear and heart shapes read softer. Most designs also take round, cushion, radiant and marquise centers.
Diamond and black diamond together
- Pavé solitaire: one black center on a band traced with tiny lab-grown diamond accents.
- Three-stone: lab-grown diamond side stones flank the center, for the boldest black-and-white contrast in the range.
- Hidden halo: accents tucked beneath the center, caught mostly in profile.
Which metal frames black best
- Yellow gold: warm and graphic, with a slightly vintage lean.
- Rose gold: a pink cast that softens the dark center.
- White gold and platinum: cool white metal for a strict two-tone ring.
- Silver: Silvadium, a tarnish-resistant sterling silver, bright white and the easiest on the budget.
Gold designs come in 10K, 14K or 18K.
Keeping a black center glossy
Skin oil and hand cream show fast on a dark polished surface, and a smudged black center looks flat long before a white stone would. A microfiber cloth brings the gleam back between cleanings. For a fuller clean, give it ten minutes in a bowl of lukewarm, lightly soaped water and coax out any film from beneath the center and between the pavé with a soft-bristled brush. Keep it in its own compartment so the accents can't scratch other jewelry.
Black Diamond Engagement Rings: Common Questions
Are black diamonds the cheapest diamonds?
Not always, though black diamonds often sell for less than colorless ones of a similar size. Size, shape and cut still shift what any stone costs. On this page the setting carries its own price, and the black center's price shows up once you pick it at the following step, which makes it easy to weigh a couple of sizes side by side.
How expensive is a black diamond ring?
Settings here start under $200, and most land between about $700 and $1,200 before any center. The black stone adds its own price once picked, and an IGI or GIA grading report travels with it. Metal choice and how much accent work a design carries account for most of the spread between settings.
