Natural Diamonds
Facts, Rarity & How to Choose
Natural diamonds have been treasured for centuries as symbols of love, commitment, and lasting value. Formed deep within the earth under extraordinary conditions, each natural diamond tells a story shaped by time.
At Forever Diamond Boston, natural diamonds remain central to our craft — particularly for engagement rings and meaningful, once-in-a-lifetime jewelry. This guide explains what natural diamonds are, what makes them unique, and how to choose one with confidence.
What Are Natural Diamonds?
Natural diamonds are created when carbon is exposed to extreme heat and pressure deep beneath the earth’s surface over billions of years. Volcanic activity eventually brings them closer to the surface, where they are mined, cut, and polished.
Because their formation depends entirely on natural forces, no two natural diamonds are exactly alike. Each stone reflects a unique combination of geological conditions that cannot be replicated.
Diamonds’ journey from deep within the earth to finished jewelry is what gives them lasting emotional and symbolic significance.

Why Choose a Natural Diamond?
Many clients choose natural diamonds for their enduring symbolism and legacy value:
True rarity — formed by nature over billions of years
Emotional significance — often chosen for life’s most meaningful moments
Tradition & heritage — the classic choice for engagement rings
Unique characteristics — no two stones are identical
For those who view a diamond as more than an accessory — but as a lasting symbol — natural diamonds hold special meaning.

Choosing an Engagement Ring Is Personal
Understanding the Quality of Natural Diamonds
Natural diamonds are evaluated using the same internationally recognized diamond quality standards known as the 4 Cs:
Cut – Determines how a diamond reflects light and directly impacts sparkle and brilliance.
Color – Diamond color measures the presence of yellow or brown tones. Many near-colorless diamonds appear white once set.
Clarity – Refers to natural inclusions formed during the diamond’s creation. These characteristics make each natural diamond unique.
Carat Weight – Measures size, but cut and proportions affect how large a diamond appears.
Understanding how these factors work together is key to choosing the right diamond — and we’re here to help explain each step clearly.
Natural Diamonds vs Lab-Grown Diamonds
Natural and lab-grown diamonds are physically identical, but differ in origin, rarity, and pricing. Some clients prefer the geological history and tradition of natural diamonds, while others appreciate the flexibility lab-grown diamonds offer.
There is no universal “better” choice — only the choice that aligns best with your values and priorities.
