Classy Contrasts

Whether trying to create a digital-inspired pattern, evoke 1920s Art Deco or simply lend a design clear definition, the binary beauty of black and white diamonds makes a bold statement. Such effective contrast can have many meanings. As well as its aesthetic value, a play of black and white can symbolize the duality of our personalities, especially in jewels that are built to offer more than one look — day or night, traditional or edgy. A speckling of white diamonds in a night sky can also capture the celestial jewelry trend that is still going strong. Whatever you read into this monochromatic dance of diamonds, black and white make for a killer combination.
