Simulated Chocolate Diamond Rings

What Are Simulated Chocolate Diamonds?

Simulated chocolate diamonds are smoky brown manmade stones meant to look like colored diamonds. They can be found in yellow and white metal settings, and look delicious in either one. They can be given as stones in engagement rings, anniversary rings, wedding bands, eternity rings, and more.

Since they're made in almost any size imaginable, you can choose from chocolate diamond center stones, accent stones, or purchase a ring with a design made completely of small chocolate-colored stones. Chocolate diamonds are frequently seen with simulated white diamonds as well for a striking contrast in yummy colors.

Simulated chocolate diamonds are not an obvious choice for bridal jewelry, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't consider them for an offbeat, inexpensive engagement ring. If you or your loved one is a fan of smoky quartz, chocolate diamonds are a great, usually cheaper, alternative.

Where to Find Simulated Chocolate Diamond Rings

• TheFind.com has a name that says it all. You can find your ideal chocolate diamond ring here, plus many other jewelry items that feature chocolate diamonds. There's everything from a luscious chocolate and white diamond white gold ring from HSN.com for $429, significantly less than a ring that features white diamonds of the same size alone, to the white gold chocolate diamond eternity ring, and on to the chocolate CZ diamond ring at Sparkles.com listed for a mere $19.
• QVC is a fantastic place to find simulated chocolate diamonds, with styles that include:
  • The Epiphany Platinum Clad Diamonique Chocolate Princess Ring: It's only $49 plus $5 for shipping and handling. The center stone is 1.25 carats with smaller Diamonique diamonds surrounding it and encircling the band. Make sure you know the correct size to order before purchasing this one; QVC recommends that you not have it sized by a jeweler.
  • If a vintage engagement ring is more your style, you'll be glad to see the Epiphany Platinum Clad Diamonique Chocolate 3 Stone Ring for $60. It's available in sizes 5-10 and the shipping is, again, just $5. The chocolate center stone is 2.00 carats while the two white Diamonique side stones are 1.40 carats combined with the smaller accent stones found around the edges of the larger ones.
• eBay is a good place to look for simulated chocolate diamond jewelry. One of the biggest concerns about eBay is wondering whether or not the item you're bidding on is the real thing. Since you're looking for simulated stones rather than genuine chocolate diamonds, that fear is quelled a bit. There is a surprising selection of chocolate diamonds on the site. If you're partial to the real thing, you can even find genuine chocolate diamonds there (be sure you read the seller's feedback!), but be advised that they can be very expensive.

The Perks of Chocolate

Aside from being a calorie-free chocolate used to say, "I love you," simulated chocolate diamond rings have quite a few things going for them. Make any day a time to give a box of chocolate; don't wait for Valentine's Day! Here are the reasons to consider chocolate diamonds:

• They're different. Not many women are flaunting chocolate diamonds on their left ring fingers when the engagement announcements are made. This is an opportunity for her to stand out as a trendsetter, and an opportunity for the giver to look like they have incredible taste.
• Chocolate diamonds look great with yellow or white metals, so whether the receiver prefers warm tones or cool, a chocolate diamond will complement her style.
• They're not as expensive as genuine white or colored diamonds. If you're putting off getting engaged due to finances and the chocolate diamond would please you or your fiancé, this could be one step closer to a lifetime commitment.

Simulated chocolate diamond rings can be a deliciously unique style of ring for a sweet relationship. With many different styles available, couples can easily find the perfect ring to express a taste of their love.
