Apparently, scientists analyzed the hydrogen content in the charcoal-colored diamonds and found "the quantity indicated that the mineral formed in a supernova explosion."

Wikipedia calls the black diamond a "carbonado" and cites several formation theories, including one which says the gems are made of "cosmic dust," a phrase I rather like.

Whether you agree with this possibility or not, black diamonds are terrifically beautiful. Cate Blanchett and Jennifer Lopez have both been spotted wearing black diamond jewelry at events. Maybe black will be the new yellow?

Gentlemen, if you're considering making an interstellar proposal, save up your monies; the diamonds are expensive! That said, Nevaeh Jewelry certainly has some beautiful designs. Check it out.
