coal or carbon. This is means the diamond is not pure and it could cause your diamond to crack later. Even though diamonds have a hardness of 10 on the hardness scale, they are extremely brittle. Those 'dots' work against the imperfections and cause it to crack and be lost without you even noticing until it is too late. You got a cheap diamond my dear.

The tiny black 'inclusions' you can see in your diamond ARE carbon deposits. These inclusions occur naturally and although they may not be as clear as some more expensive diamonds available on the market, they are an acceptable occurrence.
If you bear in mind that diamonds are basically carbon (coal) subjected to immense heat and great pressure and are produced underground over millions of years. The carbon 'spots' are remnants that remained unchanged during this process.
Jewellers refer to these as natures hallmark or fingerprint as no 2 diamonds are the same. A diamonds clarity is graded on how visible and whereabouts in the stone these inclusions occur.
A pure diamond is classed as internally flawless and as the inclusions become more visible (usually under 10x magnification) they are graded as VVS (very very small inclusions), VS (very small inclusions) , then SI. When visible to the naked eye, they are classed as Pique 1/2/3 but are still classed as commercial quality diamonds.
After all that, there is nothing actually wrong with your diamond, but if you are not happy with it and it is a recent purchase, you may be able to return or exchange it for something with less inclusions. Be prepared to pay the difference though.

Go to a jewelery store and ask a professional what they are.
