This natural salt-and-pepper diamond is a 0.93 carat geometric pear, measuring 9 by 6.90mm, priced from $1400. Its scattered black and grey specks are natural inclusions formed as the diamond grew inside the earth, which makes the pattern in this one stone unlike any other. No two salt-and-pepper diamonds are alike, so what you see here is genuinely one of a kind.

Because salt-and-pepper diamonds live outside the traditional white-diamond market, you get dramatically more stone for your money than you would from a colorless, commodity-priced diamond. They were never sorted, graded, or traded as a uniform commodity, and that is exactly the point. This stone carries the same Mohs 10 hardness as any diamond, the hardest natural material there is, so it holds up beautifully to everyday wear. In heavily included stones an inclusion that reaches the surface can become a fracture point, so Heather and the team hand-vet every stone at Bohemi for that before it is offered.

Heather hand-selects each stone at Bohemi in Boulder, Colorado. Bohemi does not sell loose stones, so this diamond is set into an engagement ring or a custom piece designed with you, and the $1400 price is the starting point for that ring. If you love this stone, you can explore the full range of engagement rings.

Are the inclusions flaws?

No. The black and grey specks and clouds are natural characteristics, not flaws, and they are the whole appeal of a salt-and-pepper diamond. Every stone's pattern is one of a kind. The one honest caveat is that in heavily included stones an inclusion that reaches the surface can be a fracture point, so Heather hand-vets every stone at Bohemi for that before it is offered.

How durable is a salt-and-pepper diamond?

It is a diamond, so it sits at Mohs 10, the same everyday hardness as any diamond and the hardest natural material there is. That makes it an excellent choice for daily wear in an engagement ring.

Why is it less than a white diamond?

Salt-and-pepper diamonds live outside the traditional white-diamond market, so you get dramatically more stone for your money. They were never sorted or traded as a uniform commodity, which is the point, not a gap. You are paying for character and size rather than a colorless grading scale.

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 designed with Heather and the team in Boulder, Colorado, and the listed price is the starting point for that ring.
