Etsy Monday: Chocolate Diamonds

'Tis the season for hot chocolate!  It is also the season for proposals.  I read somewhere that one third of all marriage proposals happen over the holidays.  There never seem to be any sources cited for this, so I cannot completely confirm it.  I definitely think it is plausible though.

Getting back to the hot chocolate...

Here are some chocolate diamond rings from Etsy in varying price ranges.  If you are curious about learning more about chocolate diamonds, please refer to this GIA article on "Fancy" diamonds.

Rich Chocolate Diamonds Ring - $38

(The designer of the Rich Chocolate ring has many other similar rings with different stones.  Perfect for stacking!) 

Radiant Cut Chocolate Diamond Ring - $1,585

Chocolate Diamond Ring with Rose Gold and White Gold Twisted Shank - $4,074

Diamonds: A Lovely Tweet

If you ask me for my favorite thing about diamonds, I would probably reply about how much I love to watch them sparkle.

A few days ago @GIAnews had a profound tweet:

Jewelry is more than just a sum of its parts: it dazzles the eye, expresses emotion and declares your status. 

Take "status" as you wish, but in my mind it means: taken, given myself to someone for eternity, or loved dearly.  Obviously, you don't need jewels or other expensive things to show that you are loved dearly or to express your emotion.  Sometimes the look in someone's eye is enough.
