Are chocolate diamonds cool?

 

Etienne Perret

As a soon-to-be bride, I already have my diamond securely placed on my finger (thanks mainly to the awesomeness that is Simon G. Jewelry’s Perfect

Proposal Contest and my fiance, of course), but that doesn’t mean I still don’t eye the ads on television and in magazines.

But this week, I saw two commercials from two different jewelry retailers featuring something I had never heard: the chocolate diamond.

Translation: A diamond that is brown.

I didn’t get it. Sure, I’m among the many who love the new trend of different colored diamonds and even gemstones for engagement rings. I knew a girl who owned a pink diamond class ring,
and I too have oohed and awed over some of the canary diamonds many celebrities are flashing around these days. But a brown diamond? The more I look at it, I guess the prettier it seems. But it still doesn’t shout “BRIDAL” to me.

Maybe I’m just too used to my own piece of clear and rainbow sparkles.But I have to ask, does anyone own one of these new and trendy puppies? Would you want to? And even more importantly, would you have it be the symbol of your everlasting love?

Let me know what you think! I’m dying to hear real stories of chocolate diamond lovers!

So, chocolate diamonds: new, modern delicacy or lame way to pawn off less-than-perfect diamonds?

    Yes, I would. I like colored stones and I think diamonds aren’t very pretty unless used as accent stones and are overrated. Plus, brown is the color of my hair, my eyes AND close to my birthstone (topaz) so I think yes, the name is stupid, but I would wear it.

    On a side note, I would NEVER turn down an engagement ring from the man I loved, even if it was terribly ugly. IMHO, you are a terrible person if you think you would.

    That what i really want for my engagement. I have done the basic research on cut, color, clarity and karat and as long as those same principles apply that most unique and lovely stone will stand the test of time. I have dropped all the hints I can, so I will email you all the pics when i finally get it.
