Chocolate Diamonds are Fancy Colored Diamonds

Chocolate Diamond Jewelry has been around on the market for a time now and has caught the eye of famous Hollywood celebrities. These stones were thought to be less desirable and many people don't know these Fancy Colored gems even exist. These stones are found in the mines of South Africa and the Argyle mines of Australia. Thanks to diamond dealers like Le Vian, Fancy Colored Diamonds are proving to be more unique and just as beautiful as white ones.

Brown Diamonds are unique and have stunning beauty. These stones are made in a large variety of styles, types and cuts. They are available in yellow and white gold ring settings.

A Chocolate Diamond is a brown stone of several different shades of brown. The shades are cognac, champagne colored, clove, cinnamon and honey. Cinnamon colored stones are reddish brown, while the cognac variety has a warm reddish brown look. Honey is yellow-orange, clove has a dark olive look and champagnes are light colored with a slightly reddish cast. Other fancy diamond colors include; blue, pink, red, green, yellow, orange, violet, grey, purple and black.

Traditionally, the value and desirability of a diamond has been based on it's cut, color and clarity. The perception was, diamonds were most valuable when colorless, or of a rare color such as blue or pink. Diamonds that were common colors, such as the brown diamonds were deemed "low color diamonds" and viewed as less valuable. Now, in recent years the demand for these rare stones have been rapidly growing. These one of a kind stones have been viewed with high value in ancient times. Makes me wonder how these beautiful stones lost favor in modern times.
