Grey DiamondsUpdated 4 months ago

Grey Diamonds or Salt & Pepper Diamonds as they are known in the industry, are exactly the same chemical composition as white diamonds. Mined from the earth alongside their colourless counterparts, they carry visual inclusions of carbon and other minerals captured within them as they have formed over millennia. 

The presence of these inclusions give each stone its unique hues, tones and patterns of light, each like a tiny galaxy. Each one with its variety of inclusions and colours is completely unique, making them a truly  special choice for your Chupi ring.

Grey diamonds do not come with GIA certification as this institution does not certify grey diamonds. Gemological laboratories grade traditional diamonds based on how few inclusions are visible. They grade this clarity, ranging from ‘Internally Flawless’ to ‘Included’. Because grey diamonds are valued for their unique internal patterns caused by the very inclusions traditional diamonds look to eliminate, traditional certification cannot be applied to these stones. 

Here in Chupi we celebrate Grey diamonds, their spectrum of colours and their beautiful galaxies of inclusions making each one unique, we love that they are perfectly imperfect!
