Chocolate Diamonds add richness, elegance, and a unique flair to any classic diamond ring. They are brown diamonds found on the C4-C6 scale. Typically, they're associated specifically with the manufacturer Le Vian, though you can certainly find brown diamonds from other manufacturers.
Chocolate Diamonds have increased in popularity in recent years and have gained a great appeal for a few reasons. First of all, they tend to be less expensive than white or colorless diamonds. Second, with the recent marketing campaign by Le Vian, these diamonds have been seen on over 100 Hollywood celebrities, associating them with luxury and fame. Finally, their rich dark, color creates a unique look and contrast with other gems, including white diamonds.
There are several different styles of Chocolate Diamond rings. Some of them appear in solitaire settings; however, more commonly, they are set in pairs or clusters. Some rings feature several tiny Chocolate Diamonds swirled together with several tiny white diamonds. There are bands with rows of several of each diamond, creating a striped effect. Other bands have a checkerboard appearance, with white and brown diamond alternating. These bands can be found for both men and women. Other settings have a large white diamond in the center with a circle of Chocolate Diamonds surrounding it. Though some are willing to branch out and include them in their engagement rings, many rings featuring these diamonds are more of the fashion variety. Some of the fashion rings include elaborate settings and designs using the gold.
If you want even more pizzazz, you can find many rings that include other stones and gems along with the brown diamonds. Turquiose and Aquamarine are often paired with the brown diamonds, and have become quite popular with those who like the brown/blue combination. Other color combinations include rubies, sapphires, and emeralds. For some variety in texture, some rings include brown cultured pearls as well as the brown diamonds.
They can be found in most major jewelry stores. They can also be purchased from on-line stores or on e-bay. The price of these rings ranges from 0 to ,000. The price is determined by the quality of the diamonds, the size of the diamonds, the number of white diamonds and the quality of the other stones included in the ring.
The next time you want to surprise someone special with a unique piece of jewelry, consider a Chocolate Diamond ring.
