Black Diamond Wedding Rings

Though previously popular men’s wedding bands, wedding ring styles featuring black diamonds have become more popular among women’s wedding bands, too.

They provide a subtle twist in color, but a big contrast in visual appeal.

This white gold and black diamond engagement ring is plated in black rhodium, giving it a gunmetal base color and a lot of durability. A diamond eternity band, it features black diamonds around its entire perimeter. With a simple shape and tons of shine, it’s stackable and unique.
