Black Ice Custom Options and Interesting Information
The possibilities for your Custom Black Ice are riviting and endless; below are some thoughts to feast your fancy:
* 100 carats of gorgeous black diamonds not enough? How about 200, 300, 400, 500 carats or more! The necklace can be made the same length with bigger diamonds or longer with just more diamonds or smaller diamonds. If you enjoy wearing long layered necklaces, we can use tiny black diamonds for deliciously long Black Ice. * Prefer a different clasp? We can attach your favorite style of clasp. * Love the exclusive Arpaia signature clasp but wear yellow gold? We can make the clasp in 18 karat yellow gold, even matte gold. We can pack in bigger white diamonds (see Arpaia signature clasp on Starry Night necklace). If you desire something more dramatic the clasp can be made with hot pink sapphires, or any gemstone of your choice, including a beautiful mix of gems. * Just let us know your desires and we will create your Black Ice imagination. * Add Custom Black Ice Earrings and Bracelet to enhance your Black Ice Necklace - a smashing combination, and each on its own a singular sensation (hint, hint, think triple strand Black Ice Bracelet with huge faceted black diamonds; oh, my!).
* Exquisite fancy black diamonds are the Pinnacle of Black Ice.
Arpaia personally selects superior black diamond strands used to create
these pieces, focusing on very high collection grade quality, vivid
rich midnight black color, gorgeous hand-faceting, luxurious high
polish, and beautifully matched gemstones exhibiting a dazzling overall
look, feel and balance. These magnificent strands take years (not
months) for the gemstone cutter to collect, match, and complete.
Rare, glamorous, very fine quality fancy black diamonds are paramount.
Specific Information Regarding the Rare Fancy Black Diamonds in Black Ice: We purchase fine quality rare black diamonds. Once mined, almost all high quality rare black diamonds in the
rough undergo high pressure heat treatment (HPHT) to enhance the black
hue since although they are predominantly black in color they typically contain gray, white and clear streaks or patches. After HPHT
in the rough, these fancy black diamonds are faceted and polished but are not subjected to radiation
or further treatments or enhancements of any kind. For a more complete discussion of fancy black diamonds and related diamond information, please click on the following link "The Beauty Behind Fancy Black Diamonds."
The Differences in Quality and Beauty of Black Diamonds in the Marketplace are Profound.
We select black diamonds that are truly exquisite and very very rare.
Some "natural," fancy" and "genuine" black diamonds sold in the
marketplace to the trade and to the public are not naturally-occuring
black color diamonds (e.g., they were not mined black diamonds where
the diamond's original black color was produced in the earth). Price
is telling; the old adage "you get what you pay for" truly applies to
black diamonds. We pay much more for our very rare fancy black
diamonds than retail prices for finished more common available black
diamond jewelry. Since the black diamonds we select are very rare, we
often wait impatient lengths of time to obtain just one strand or even
a single stone possessing the beauty, quality and specifications we
seek. As a result, while we are able to make and sell only one custom
Black Ice necklace, there are other less expensive black diamond
necklaces more readily available in the marketplace that can be sold in
multiple and even near production quantities. Of
course (the good news), the rarity in materials we use allows Arpaia to
personally design, create and sell each Black Ice piece.
Black Ice in your stocking?
Nice.
and you've been so good.
Very good.
You deserve Black Ice,
Nowww.*
*By "now" we really mean to be put on our Wait List now
for your custom Black Ice necklace. The black diamonds we select are
exquisite and rare, and as a result, the strands we seek are not
readily available, so we are not able to stock in our inventory.
Although usually there is a wait time to obtain the precious gemstones
and handmade components we need to complete even just one Black Ice
necklace, we will do our very best to achieve your wishes and create your desired custom Black Ice for when you want it.
