Chocolate Diamonds, might be for you.
Chocolate Diamonds have exquisite beauty and hold value for shoppers looking for an alternative to our conventional white diamonds. They are in every type of jewelry, blends well and is complimented by other stones such as white diamonds, turquoise and Chocolate Pearls. Coming from mines in South Africa and Australia, diamond marketeers like Le Vian have raised the value of, and made these precious Diamonds popular the world over. These stones are affordable and great for first engagements between young couples. I agree these are some nice pieces of jewelry and a Precious Chocolate Diamond is a must have in any jewelry box, or on the finger of that significant other.
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. Many pieces of jewelry feature white diamonds, as well as turquoise and Chocolate Pearls along with these precious brown stones. There are many different styles of rings, bracelets, earrings, and pendants to please every taste. Red carpet celebrities have found these Diamonds to be exquisite and are wearing them proudly to every celebrity event.
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.

Rio Tinto's Blue Diamond tender exceeds expectations
Rio Tinto’s recent tender of rare blue diamonds from its Argyle mine in Australia “far exceeded” expectations, the company reported Tuesday. The "Once in a Blue Moon" collection, comprising 16 lots of blue and violet diamonds weighing 287 carats, garnered record prices, Rio spokespersons said. The company did not disclose the value of the sale.
“We have been overwhelmed by the enthusiasm from new and existing colored-diamond collectors around the globe, especially in such a challenging economic environment,” said Josephine Archer, sales and marketing manager for Argyle Pink Diamonds. “With only 10 years' production left at the Argyle mine, there is clearly a growing awareness that the opportunities to purchase these collections are rapidly diminishing.”
Rio Tinto explained that diamonds for the tender were sourced from several years of production at Argyle, which is famous for its output of pink diamonds. The company recently reported that production at Argyle doubled to 4.4 million carats in the first quarter of 2009 due to the processing of higher-grade ore at the mine during the period.
