Haute Chocolate

Last week Eva Mendes was spotted at Comic-Con in San Diego wearing a gorgeous chocolate diamond and yellow gold ring by Le Vian (check out the closeup after the jump). I happen to think chocolate diamonds are as scrumptious as they sound and make a great alternative to their clear counterparts when it comes to engagement rings. I'm also in love with other coloured stones at the moment: think sapphire, topaz and aquamarine. In fact, we may just have shot some colourful rings for our next issue, but you'll have to pick it up in December to find out for sure! On a side note, how pretty is Eva's pinky neutral nail colour? A shade like this is perfect for your wedding day (and really sets off your ring!).

What does your engagement ring look like? Was it a complete surprise or did you drop some helpful hints?
