Anything with the word chocolate in it has to be wonderful, right? Chocolate diamonds certainly live up to the description of wonderful! Beautiful brown diamonds have recently become all the rage. They are being worn on red carpet events all over the world. So why is everyone falling in love with them?
The most common color found in diamonds is brown. These beautiful chocolate-color diamonds come from many places, but most are mined in Australia. Brown diamonds have a crystalline lattice deformation that causes the brown color. By heating and using pressure treatments, lapidary specialists can turn brown diamonds into champagne, yellow and also colorless diamonds. So always remember, before buying any colored diamond, you should inquire whether the diamond has had any treatments that changed the color.
The Le Vian Company began designing jewelry with beautiful golden brown diamonds in the early part of the 2000′s. They loved the way the brown diamonds looked like rich chocolate, and so the name “chocolate diamonds” was born. Movie stars like Halle Berry and Angelina Jolie have been seen wearing Le Vian’s couture chocolate diamonds, which cost many thousands of dollars.
If you have a little sticker shock after hearing that couture chocolate diamonds sell for thousands of dollars, don’t worry. Le Vian and other jewelry companies have made sure that there are lots of more affordable, yet stunningly gorgeous chocolate brown diamond jewelry pieces available. You can find rings, earrings, and pendants and bracelets priced from $300 and up. Rose and yellow gold look especially good with chocolate diamonds, as well as other warm-toned gemstones. Imagine how pretty a chocolate diamond ring or bracelet would look paired with a yellow cushion cut diamond engagement ring, or even a yellow gold Pandora bracelet.
If you have not ever seen a chocolate diamond, I would say you should head out to the nearest jewelry store and take a look at them today! Not all jewelry stores carry them though, so you may have to shop online for them. Shop with a reputable online retailer like Amazon that has a good return policy, and you can shop worry-free for all the chocolate diamonds you can handle!
