The Pretty Chocolate Diamond Ring

This type of engagement ring is perfect for someone who wants something non-traditional, but something very special.

Of all the jewelry made from brown diamonds the chocolate diamond ring seems to be at the top of the list of favorites. So much so that chocolate and champagne diamond engagement rings have become more popular. This type of engagement ring is perfect for someone who wants something non-traditional, but something very special.

Like the regular white diamond engagement ring, the brown diamond ring is very versatile as it goes well with all skin and hair colors. It also goes well with a wide variety of clothing from casual to elegant.

Popular Ring Settings

Chocolate or cognac diamonds work well as either the main stone in the ring, or as accent diamonds. You will often find chocolate diamond rings that are a collection of small diamonds, like white and chocolate, instead of a single center stone.

These brown sparkling stones work particularly well with a couple different gems. They work beautifully with white or colorless stones; this combination is my personal favorite. You can find a wide variety of rings with white and brown diamonds as this seems to be a common pairing.

But they also work quite well with lighter colored stones like aquamarine. In fact the combination of aquamarine and brown diamonds has become more and more popular. Le Vian, the company who coined the term chocolate diamonds, has a great selection of aquamarine and chocolate diamond rings. Of course they offer some fantastic necklaces and earrings as well.

This luscious brown stone works well set in yellow gold, white gold or silver. When mixed with colorless diamonds or aquamarine it brings out the lighter or cool tones of the white gold or silver. But the warmth of these brown diamonds also pairs beautifully with rose or yellow gold. Once again this helps make a chocolate or cognac diamond ring more versatile.

Where To Buy A Chocolate Diamond Ring

Chocolate diamond rings, and other chocolate diamond jewelry, can be found at many jewelry stores. If you want a genuine diamond, whether it is natural or man made, make sure you go to a reputable jeweler. You should be able to get a certificate of authenticity for your records, but you may also want to have it appraised by an independent appraiser to make sure you know the true value of the jewelry.

If you shop online make sure you go with a reputable jeweler here as well. Don't just look for the cheapest one you can find. Unfortunately this is an area that can be impacted by fraud. You want to make sure you get what you pay for, and know exactly what you are buying.

A chocolate diamond ring can make a great addition to your jewelry collection. Or if you are looking for a distinct ring to pop the question a chocolate or champagne diamond engagement ring may be just the right thing, especially if your special someone is partial to natural tones.
