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!

Earring jackets are simply attached to a stud earring and you’ll be all set.

There are several types of earring jackets available. First is the stud earring jacket. As its name implies, it is a type of earring jacket that makes a stud earring more elegant and fashionable. For instance, from a simple and small diamond stud, it can transform it to another form like a flower, butterfly and many more but it still remains as a stud earring. In other words, it transforms a particular piece of simple stud earring in to something that catches more attention.

Another type of earring jackets is the drop earring jacket. Unlike the first type, it transforms a stud erring into a drop earring. By just attaching the earring to the jacket, the earring becomes bigger and beautiful. The stud earring becomes the base from where the jacket hangs.

Basically, all these types of earring jackets work in the same way. The only thing that sets them apart from one another is the way that they transform a simple stud earring or the way they look when attached to it. Diamond earring jackets are undeniably popular but you can also consider those that are made of sapphire, ruby, emerald and other precious stones combined to gold, silver and other precious metals.
