Salt and Pepper Diamonds

dera

Updated: Aug 21, 2021




Guilt-free diamonds. Read this if you are always looking out for eco-friendly options.


Firstly, what is a diamond?


Natural diamonds are composed of carbon atoms that are subject to extreme high temperatures and intense pressures that occur about 100 miles below Earth's surface billions of years ago.


Diamond is the hardest known natural substance. It also has special optical properties such as a high index of refraction, high dispersion, and high luster. That's how you get the sparkle in your tiny gem!


When miners find diamonds, they aren’t the shimmering, flawlessly cut stones you see in your jewellery. They’re raw, uncut, unpolished, and most are filled with imperfections and inclusions.


Inclusions happen when a diamond encounters other minerals when formed. They may look like clouds, feather, needles, colouration etc; each inclusion is a timestamp of that stone’s unique life cycle and history.


Similar to snowflakes, no two diamonds are exactly identical!


Why we love them


Sustainability is important to us.


In the past, only very small percentage of mined diamonds were utilized, the rest are scrapped or for industrial purpose. With the rising trend of salt & pepper diamonds, these precious resources extracted from Mother Earth are now being celebrated instead of discarded.


The appeal of a salt & pepper diamond lies not in the sparkle like a common white diamond, but the unique individuality and artisanal quality.


How magical of a stone that tells its story, through birthmarks that showcases its unique history, identity and natural composition over billions of years!


They are truly perfectly imperfect.


The experience of finding a stone that is individual to you, in the same way each and every one of these diamonds are unique, is most exciting!


Salt and Pepper diamonds are not only earth-friendly, they are a modern deviation from the mass-produced, standardized styles seen in most jewellery stores. At Gem Brûlée, we move beyond what is expected. If your values in jewellery align with us, feel free to drop us a message for a chat!
