The Value of Salt and Pepper Diamonds
These gems are a billion years old. However, their quality is lower compared to that of vintage diamonds. Hence, they enjoyed little publicity in the olden days but have become very popular today.
The colorless, red, yellow and white diamonds derive their magnificence from the 4Cs, but that doesn't apply when grading the 'peppered' variety.
The value of salt and pepper diamonds lies in the inclusions(flaws). So when cutting them, the cutters will deliberately highlight the imperfections. Thus, the variety of shapes.
