It's among the hardest minerals on Earth, surpassing sapphire, ruby, or emerald in durability.

Frequently Asked Questions about Our Stones

ARE THESE REAL DIAMONDS AND WILL THEY PASS THE DIAMOND TEST?
All our Natural Diamonds, Premium CVD Diamonds, HPHT Diamonds, BDNY Diamonds, and Certified Moissanites will pass the diamond test using a special diamond tester.

Our Simulated Diamonds and Created Diamonds are diamond imitators and will not pass the test. However, they are excellent, cost-effective alternatives, looking just as beautiful but costing much less (approximately 1% of a diamond's cost for similar beauty and shine).

Please note regarding BDNY Diamonds and Certified Moissanite: While these gems consistently pass our advanced diamond testers, a local jeweler using specialized equipment for natural diamond identification may differentiate them based on subtle, unique electrical conductivity. In very rare instances, this specialized testing might result in the stones not passing their specific evaluation.

Check our stone authenticity for full transparency.

Appraisal Information:
Our natural diamonds, CVD and HPHT Lab-grown diamonds can be appraised by any local jeweler. Please note that appraised values can vary based on factors such as current market conditions and the appraiser's methodology. Therefore, we cannot guarantee a specific appraised value.

Our BDNY gems and Moissanite as well as Simulated Diamonds and Created Diamonds are not recommended for appraisals due to their stone properties.

  DISCLAIMER:
  Please note that stone colors may vary slightly depending on the cut, size, stone carat, and type of stones/diamonds being used (e.g., Simulated Diamonds like sona, sapphires, and Created Diamonds have more saturated hues compared to moissanite, lab diamonds, natural diamonds, and other gemstones). Please contact our team for more info.

Black Diamonds- New York's jewelry are crafted for daily wear, allowing you to showcase your timeless style and express your individuality every day. We take pride in the quality and durability of our jewelry, ensuring that each piece withstands the test of time. However, preventative care is recommended.

PLATINUM: Our platinum pieces are renowned for its durability, rarity, and hypoallergenic properties. Ideal for those with sensitive skin. Heavier than gold, giving it a substantial feel. Naturally white, eliminating the need for rhodium plating. Platinum jewelry is often considered an investment due to its enduring value and beauty. Often chosen for engagement and wedding rings due to its timeless elegance and resistance to tarnish

Platinum Marking: Pt950, Pt900

SOLID GOLD: Our solid gold pieces are designed for daily wear. All our jewelry handcrafted in solid gold is treated with a permanent finish. This ensures that your favorite pieces remain as breathtaking as the day you first wore them. 

Gold Marking: 9k, 10k, 14k, 18k, 24k

925 SILVER: Our silver pieces are electroplated for a beautiful finish, but this finish may wear off over time with normal use. Each piece is electroplated with rhodium or finished with an e-coating, providing a layer of protection against everyday wear and tear. These finishes not only enhance the overall appearance but also provide added durability. However, it is important to note that these finishes are temporary and require proper care to ensure their longevity. For engagement and wedding rings, consider purchasing silver without colored plating like rose gold, yellow gold or black rhodium, these finishes fade faster compared to white gold overlay.

Silver Marking: S925 (Sterling Silver), 925RG (Silver+Rose Gold), 925YG (Silver+Yellow Gold), 925WG (Silver+White Gold), S700 (Silver+Platinum)

DO NOT PURCHASE SILVER WITH COLORED PLATING if you are looking for something that will last forever. Colored plating on silver pieces will fade.

BLACK PLATED JEWELRY: Black plating is a temporary finish and may wear off with frequent use. Plating longevity is dependent on the wearer and the level of care given to the jewelry. We have seen plating last anywhere from days, to months to even years. 

TUNGSTEN CARBIDE: Known for its exceptional hardness and durability. Highly resistant to scratches and dents, making it a popular choice for rings and other jewelry. However, it's important to remember that no metal is completely scratch-proof. Often has a polished, brushed, or matte finish. These finishes are typically permanent and won't wear off easily. However, certain finishes, such as coatings, might wear off over time with heavy use.

TITANIUM: Exceptionally durable, titanium provides a lighter-weight and hypoallergenic option. Can come in various finishes, including polished, brushed, or coated. While the metal itself is durable, certain finishes, such as coatings, might wear off over time with heavy use. Also note that while titanium is scratch-resistant, it's important to remember that no metal is completely scratch-proof.

STAINLESS STEEL: Resistance to corrosion and tarnish makes it an ideal choice for jewelry, especially rings. Generally more budget-friendly than precious metal. The durability of these finishes can vary. For example, a polished finish might show scratches more easily than a brushed finish.

BRASS/COPPER: These pieces are stylish but not recommended for daily use. The finish is not permanent.
