Compare that to this colorless diamond ring.
While with all other diamond colors we can mention the exact type of chemical or physical inclusion that is responsible for their color, with salt and pepper diamonds.
There is not one single inclusion that’s responsible for their unique look.
salt and pepper diamonds can vary a lot from one another too depending on the inclusions they have. They can be nearly black, grey, milky or almost colorless.
They can have strong green or yellow hues and they can even have some rare red or orange hues at times.
The difference in these inclusions may or may not impact the price of the salt and pepper stone but they are almost always relatively affordable compared to other diamonds, and they always have a very unique look.

Salt and Pepper Diamond Durability
This is probably the main question people have when it comes to salt and pepper diamonds. Like any other diamond, salt and pepper
Salt and pepper diamonds are very brittle because of all their inclusions, which can cause the stone to break or chip if dealt a hard blow.
The Color of Salt and Pepper Diamonds
Salt and pepper diamonds are so obscure and different from other colored diamonds that it’s even difficult to put them on the same color intensity scale as brown, green or yellow diamonds.
Where other colored diamonds can be spread between the following 9 color intensity grades – Faint, Very Light, Light, Fancy Light, Fancy, Fancy Dark, Fancy Intense, Fancy Vivid, Fancy Deep – salt and pepper diamonds are much harder to categorize in such a way.
It’s not outright impossible, of course, we can still compare the body of the diamond and how much its color is affected by the “peppered” inclusions – whether the overall appearance of the stone is more milky or darker grey, etc.

Custom Process
1.Design :
We design the ring for our stock or you design the ring for your custom order.
2. CAD :
A computer generated version of the ring is created in CAD.
We scan the diamond into the computer then trace the diamond to get exact measurements of the stone including the stone depth and surface of the stone.
Each one of our diamonds are unique because they are cut by hand, so we can never use the same model twice.
3.MODEL IS MADE :
We 3D print a resin model of the ring.
We do not 3D print every detail of the ring, and use a lot of hand work with all of our pieces.
Every tiny diamond set into the band is done by hand and never cast in place.
- TREED UP :
The resin model of the ring is attached to a small sprue and then “treed” up to a larger sprue along with many other rings.
5. INVESTING :
The “tree” of resin models is then put into a steel flask.
Investment that looks like plaster is poured into the steel flask and over all the resin models.
6. BURN OUT :
The steel flask is put into a very hot oven and the resin and wax is burnt out.
This is referred to as the “lost wax” or "lost resin" process. A cavity of each ring is left within the investment.
- GOLD CASTING :
Gold is liquified and melted down in a machine or by a handheld torch.
Then the liquid gold is poured into the steel flask. The gold fills in the cavities that were created when the resin models were “burnt out.
- COMPLETED FLASK :
The flask is filled with gold and a button is formed on top, which is a round cap of gold that facilitates even cooling of the metal.
- QUENCHING :
The hot steel flask that just had the gold poured into it is then submerged into a bucket of water.
Steam rises and the water bubbles as the investment is broken away from the metal. Then we reach inside the bucket of water and take out the cast rings, which are an identical replica of the “treed” up resin rings
- CUTTING OFF AND CLEANING OFF SUPPORTS :
The individual rings are cut off the larger tree and the residual investment is cleaned off.
- STONE SETTING :
The Microscope we set every stone. We use a lot of different methods for stone setting, all done by hand; cut down setting for setting diamonds in the band, channel setting, bright setting, bead setting with hand raised not 3D printed beads.
