6 Black Diamond Engagement to Consider for Your Lady Love

An engagement ring is a BIG deal, right? I mean, asking the woman or man you love to be the better half of your life… permanently, is huge. It needs courage and a big slice of commitment, don’t you think? And to seal such a deal, you must have the perfect ring ready. Engagement rings or promise rings have come a long way over the years. While most brides-to-be today expect a stunning piece of jewellery (read – a good-sized solitaire), would you consider proposing your girl with a black diamond engagement ring?  

Shocked? Surprised? Flabbergasted? Well, don’t be either. All you Sex and The City fans out there, remember when Mr Big finally gave Carrie an engagement ring? And it was a black diamond! Yes, it was a five-carat black diamond set in 18k white gold, perfectly designed by Itay Malkin Fine Jewellery. But the choice of the diamond did make Carrie think out aloud – was Mr Big giving her this ring because she had a black heart? To which, Mr Big answered (making us all fall in love with him again), “Because you’re not like anyone else.” He was right of course! As ardent followers of SJP and SATC, Carrie’s choices have always been bold, unconventional, edgy. So it was only natural that her ring matches her personality!
