This salt-and-pepper diamond is a 1.01 carat marquise brilliant cut, measuring 9 by 6.90mm. The specks and clouds you see inside it are natural characteristics, not flaws, mother nature's fingerprint from deep in the earth. No two patterns are alike, so this stone's exact scatter of black and grey is one of a kind.

Salt-and-pepper diamonds live outside the traditional white-diamond market, so you get dramatically more stone per dollar. They were never graded or traded as a commodity, which means there is no certification culture around them, and that is the point, not a gap. At Mohs 10, this diamond carries the same everyday hardness as any diamond, the hardest natural material, so it is excellent for daily wear. Heather and her team in Boulder, Colorado hand-vet every stone before setting, checking that no surface-reaching inclusion becomes a fracture point in a heavily included stone.

Bohemi does not sell loose stones. This diamond is set into an engagement ring or a custom piece, and the $1,720 price is the starting point for the finished ring. When you are ready, explore the full range of engagement rings.

Are the inclusions flaws?

No. The specks and clouds inside a salt-and-pepper diamond are natural characteristics, not flaws. They are mother nature's fingerprint, formed deep in the earth, and every stone's pattern is one of a kind.

How durable is a salt-and-pepper diamond?

Very. This diamond is a Mohs 10, the same everyday hardness as any diamond and the hardest natural material, so it is excellent for daily wear. In a heavily included stone a surface-reaching inclusion can be a fracture point, so Heather and her team hand-vet every stone for exactly that before setting.

Why does it cost less than a white diamond?

Salt-and-pepper diamonds live outside the traditional white-diamond market, so you get dramatically more stone per dollar. They were never graded or traded as a commodity, so there is no certification culture around them, and that is the point, not a gap.

Can I buy just the stone?

No. Bohemi does not sell loose stones. This diamond is set into an engagement ring or a custom piece, and the $1,720 price is the starting point for the finished ring.
