"Cognac" "Chocolate" "Champagne" Diamonds. What Are They?
It's funny how until very recently, diamonds of considerably lower colors with brownish hues and yellowish overtones, were simply known as "low color diamonds".
Lower colored diamonds, are not as scarce or valuable as diamonds of icy white colors and therefore command less of a premium than the diamonds of higher (better) color grades.
Problem was, certain diamond mines tended to only produce diamonds of substantially lower colors. Well these are diamonds too and they needed to be sold..right? Well, of course!
Some brilliant marketing guru came up with an incredible idea; why not market these diamonds with finesse! Indeed, why not turn the very liability of the stone into something positive?
Thus, was born the marketing strategy known as "chocolate diamonds," "cognac diamonds," and/or "champagne diamonds".
You turn the negative into a positive.......
"Cognac" diamond ring by Judith Harnell.
Companies like Levian, went ahead and marketed the "heck" out of these "chocolate diamonds" which were unpopular and undesireable.
Subsequently and as a result of these marketing efforts, consumers who never would have given a second glance at a "brownish diamond" of poor color, were now looking at purchasing "cognac diamond jewelry".
And so it is today.
This disbeliever (yours truly;-)), also thought the whole marketing thing with chocolate diamonds was a bunch of hooey...........that is until I decided to make a pair of diamond cufflinks for myself, which features an outer ring of brilliant white diamonds, with "cognac" diamonds in the center.
The effect of the white diamonds contrasting with the "champagne diamonds" is absolutely incredible!!
It is literally a thing of beauty and now I am a true believer in the beauty and usefulness of brown diamonds!
To be honest, I don't know if I'd go out looking for a honking brownish (a.k.a. "chocolate") diamond engagement ring, or pair of diamond studs. Personally, I think that for these kind of purchases, you are better off staying away from brown diamonds and instead looking for a diamond that will lend itself to maximizing its refracted brilliancy (which is why you purchase a diamond in the first place).
To this end, a reasonably white diamond will do the best job of accomplishing your objectives.
However, when it comes to jewelry pieces, like cufflinks, brooches, rings, necklaces, pendants bracelets, etc., all bets are off!
In fact, I think that brown diamonds tastefully combined with white diamonds in a piece of jewelry, is one of the most gorgeous jewelry items you will ever lay eyes upon!
So if you are thinking "chocolate" "cognac" "champagne" diamonds...GREAT IDEA!
Just make sure you incorporate these diamonds in a jewelry piece or ensemble that will do justice to the beauty of these stones.
Same for any jewelry store owner thinking of selling diamond jewelry with white and chocolate diamonds; great idea!

Between me and my husband we've owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I've settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it'll do even better in those areas, but for now it's a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod's strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass' favor.

Hands down, Apple's app store wins by a mile. It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
