Chocolate, or brown, diamonds are made just like any other diamonds, when carbon is placed under extreme pressure. The brown color comes, in most cases of natural diamonds, seems to come from distortions or defects in the crystal matrix.

In synthetic diamonds, the brown color results from the presence of nickel and nitrogen atoms in the crystal matrix.

Brown diamonds are the most common colour of diamonds found.

'Chocolate' is the name of one shade of this brown colour. All diamonds are formed naturally far below the surface of the earth and erupted to the earth's surface through volcanic pipes.
