Aquamarine and Chocolate Diamond Ring
From LoveToKnow EngagementRings
Both brilliant wonders of nature, the aquamarine, birthstone for March, and the diamond, birthstone for April, pair beautifully in an aquamarine and chocolate diamond ring. The clear icy blue tones of the aquamarine are in perfect contrast to the luscious warmth of the chocolate diamond, the juxtaposition like a dazzling marriage of opposite personalities. Just as people often make a great couple when completely different, these two jewels are a match made in heaven.
Chocolate Diamonds, The Ultimate Eye Candy
In the grand scheme of things, the earth creates diamonds by subjecting carbon to high pressure and extreme temperature, eventually causing the formation of diamond crystals. By happenstance and an especially wonderful quirk of fate, sometimes the pressure is so extreme as to compress the diamond crystals creating red, pink, and brown hued diamonds.
Chocolate diamonds, while rare, are naturally occurring fancy colored diamonds. The fascinating natural diamond palette includes brown, red, green, yellow, blue, pink lavender, gray blue, and black diamonds.
Infused with more character, individuality, and color than colorless diamonds, chocolate diamonds in all their delectable shades are one of the most common of the fancy colors and favored by designers for their intrinsic depth and substantial warmth, particularly when paired up with aquamarine and other light colored gemstones in rings, pendants, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and pins. Depending on the specific brown shade, chocolate diamonds may also be called champagne, cognac, or smoky diamonds.
White diamonds have been the diamonds of choice for wedding and engagement rings for years. Nowadays, fancy chocolate diamonds and other colored diamonds have become a symbol of love and eternity just as much as their colorless cousins.
Aquamarine Sets Pulses Racing
Aquamarine is loved the world over for its extraordinary beauty. Its intense blue color nuances are adored by women and complement most complexions and eye colors. Designers are also enraptured with this fascinating gemstone perhaps more than any other, and it is paired with white and fancy colored diamonds in many designer jewelry collections. It is particularly stunning accented with smoldering dark chocolate diamonds.
The name aquamarine is derived from the Latin aqua (water) and mare (sea). Capturing the translucent blue freshness of the oceans, aquamarine is the stone of harmony and friendship making it a fitting choice for an engagement, wedding, or anniversary ring. Wearing aquamarine is said to promise a happy marriage and joy and wealth to the woman who wears it.
Shopping for Aquamarine and Chocolate Diamond Rings
When shopping for aquamarine and chocolate rings, look for reputable jewelry shops and online retailers who offer warranties and conflict-free diamonds.
Characteristics to Look For
- Chocolate Diamond: Brown or chocolate diamonds are valued primarily for their intensity (richness and depth) and distribution of color. Fancy diamonds are graded in ascending order as faint, very light, light, fancy, fancy intense, fancy vivid, and fancy deep.
- Aquamarine: Aquamarine is valued for its transparency and prized for intense deep blues without a hint of green, usually found in larger stones. Designers enhance the magical lucidity with a variety of artistic cuts to bring out the brilliance of the gem. Through a series of fine grooves, curves, notches, and edges, each aquamarine becomes a unique specimen in the skilled hands of a master cutter. Even when slight inclusions are found, they can be played up to create some spectacular effects.
Shopping Resources
Aquamarine paired with chocolate diamonds is a popular designer look for rings and other jewelry, but this color combination can be challenging to find. Online retailers are more likely to carry a good selection of designs, as are designer jewelry boutiques. Couples can also choose a semi mount diamond engagement ring set with chocolate diamonds to complement a loose aquamarine gem in a custom setting.
Popular styles for aquamarine and chocolate diamond ring designs include:
- A central aquamarine encircled by a sparkling band of chocolate and white diamonds.
- Aquamarine gems and chocolate diamonds paired with other birthstones in multi-colored fashion rings.
- Three stone engagement rings that pair a rich chocolate diamond with aquamarine accents.
For a decadent, delicious diamond ring, couples are turning to unique combinations of daring gems. An aquamarine and chocolate diamond ring is a luxurious choice for any couple with discriminating tastes for beautiful and distinctive jewelry.
