Salt and Pepper Diamond
A salt and pepper diamond is a diamond with numerous black and white inclusions that create a speckled, galaxy-like appearance throughout the stone.
These unique diamonds have gained popularity in recent years for their distinctive, organic look and lower price point compared to traditional clear diamonds. Each salt and pepper diamond is completely one-of-a-kind due to its unique inclusion pattern. They work particularly well in rustic, bohemian, and vintage-inspired engagement ring designs.
While traditional diamond grading focuses on clarity and the absence of inclusions, salt and pepper diamonds celebrate these natural characteristics. They're typically opaque or translucent rather than transparent and can range from light gray to nearly black.
