Salt-and-Pepper Diamond

salt and pep·per di·a·mond | ˈsȯlt ən(d) pe-pər dī-(ə-)mənd

noun

A diamond with many inclusions which create a black-and-white design

A salt and pepper diamond is one that contains a number of inclusions, resulting in a unique black and white design. They are highly sought after for how unique they look, the eco-friendly nature of their sourcing and the affordability they offer compared to diamonds with few visible inclusions. The inclusions often come in a mix of gray, black and white, giving the diamond a speckled look - hence salt and pepper. The number of inclusions, how dark they make the diamond, and the nature of their presentation varies by each diamond, making them each unique from one another.
