Just the term “chocolate diamond ring” creates an incredibly positive feeling. It’s no surprise. When you blend two well-loved things together, like chocolate and diamond ring, you are bound to get a good response.
A chocolate diamond ring is a perfect romantic gift for women who love jewelry as it blends two favorite romantic items into one. To be an even bigger hit present it with a nice box of quality chocolates, or a favorite chocolate dessert. It will be a night to remember.
Le Vian trademarked the term chocolate diamonds so to get a true chocolate diamond ring look for their quality brand. But because brown diamonds have become more popular you can see a variety of shades like champagne diamonds and cognac diamonds at many jewelry stores.
Chocolate Diamond Ring
The chocolate diamond ring and other chocolate diamond jewelry has become increasingly popular as we see celebrities adorned with these beautiful gems on and off of the red carpet. In general colored diamonds have received more attention lately, but many such as the natural colored pink diamond are so rare they are way out of our price range. Brown diamond rings offer an appealing compromise with a tasty appearance that doesn’t break the bank.
Chocolate Diamond Ring
The nice thing about the chocolate diamond ring is that it is a more affordable colored diamond. Not only is it more affordable but it is also quite stunning. You can find chocolate diamonds in a range of colors from the lighter champagne diamond to a slightly darker cognac diamond to the rich dark chocolate diamond. You can either buy the diamond separate and have the ring custom made, or you can choose from an already designed and set chocolate diamond ring.
You can even buy a chocolate diamond engagement ring if want something unique and non-traditional. While chocolate diamond engagement rings have become a bit more popular they are still quite unique. Most people you know likely have the traditional white diamond engagement ring. So getting a chocolate diamond wedding ring can really make yours stand out from the rest.
If you still want the traditional diamond ring but you want to add a distinct touch you can use chocolate or champagne diamond jewelry as an accent. This can make the ring really stand out while maintaining a classic elegance.
A chocolate diamond band makes a great anniversary ring. It consists of a single row of small brown diamonds in continuous circle in the band, symbolizing eternity.
The nice thing about chocolate diamonds is that they look nice with either gold, silver or platinum. So you can easily find chocolate diamond rings in any of these metals or design the ring yourself choosing the type of precious metal you want. Some women will only wear either gold or silver toned jewelry but this isn’t a problem with chocolate diamonds as they go well with either.
Other Chocolate Diamond Jewelry
Chocolate diamond rings are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to chocolate diamond jewelry. You can find pretty much any piece of jewelry you like made with these beautiful brown diamonds. I’ve seen some beautiful chocolate diamond necklaces, bracelets and stunning chocolate diamond earrings.
In some cases the chocolate diamond itself is the centerpiece, but other times you will find the brown diamonds surrounding the centerpiece. Another great setting is a mix of small white and small chocolate diamonds arranged in a classic design.
Chocolate diamonds work really well with white diamonds, pearls or other light colored gems like aquamarine. Aquamarine and chocolate diamonds make a particularly attractive combination, especially with an aquamarine in the center with the sparkling brown diamonds surrounding it. An aquamarine and chocolate diamond ring set this way can be quite stunning. But my favorite is still a well designed mix of white and chocolate diamonds.
Types Of Chocolate Diamonds
There are a few different types of diamonds used for a chocolate diamond ring and other chocolate diamond jewelry. What you choose to buy will vary based on your budget and your reasons for wanting the jewelry.
Natural colored diamonds are the most valuable and expensive because they are rare. This is especially true if you are looking for an intense colored jewel. The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) can provide more information on exactly how these diamonds are graded.
Man made or cultured diamonds are more affordable because brown diamonds are a little easier for them to create. They are still genuine diamonds but they are made by humans instead of by mother nature. So most people will never know whether your brown diamond ring is natural or lab created.
The other type commonly used is an enhanced or coated diamond. This is when a diamond that is naturally low color, not desirable for jewelry, is color enhanced in a lab. These are typically the most affordable and they are still quite beautiful.
Whether you are looking specifically for a chocolate diamond ring or another piece of chocolate diamond jewelry you should be able to find a pretty good selection in your local jewelry store or at a reputable online jewelry store. Since Le Vian coined the term chocolate diamonds they are the main source, just look for the Le Vian chocolate diamond ring. But because they have made these brown diamonds popular other companies are now carrying varying shades of these rich brown diamonds.
