Talk:Brown diamonds

"Chocolate" diamonds?

I came here looking for info on the new so-called "chocolate" diamonds seen in national advertisements, but although "chocolate diamond" redirects to this article, there is not a single reference to it anywhere in the article. Can anyone add info on chocolate diamonds and what (if anything) makes them unique? 174.20.169.93 (talk) 02:54, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

There is something about them now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.39.71.98 (talk) 09:55, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

Source for "Rise in popularity"

I was trying to verify sources for the first part of this section and I found a paper that seemed to be referenced in the article, with a couple phrases left entirely intact, but wasn't cited anywhere: https://provokeinsights.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/JBS112_FINK7.pdf However, when I tried to add it to the article, it got removed for being an inappropriate link. If someone could help find a more suitable way to cite this paper in the article, I would appreciate it. Swirltales (talk) 02:19, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

There is no appropriate way to cite that paper, which has been spammed onto this article a number of times by the author and/or their sock accounts. If it is referenced in the article (I can find no such references) those references ought to be removed. MrOllie (talk) 02:38, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

"Baumgold Bros., a leading diamondcutting and fine jewellery importer popular in the 1950s and 1960s, ... rebranded these diamonds as ‘champagne, amber, cognac, and chocolate’." (paper) vs "Baumgold Bros., a diamond cutter and fine jewelry importer in the 1950s and 1960s, rebranded brown diamonds ... Names included champagne, amber, cognac and chocolate." (article)

"Others followed their lead and created additional shades, including clove, coffee, caramel, cappuccino, mocha, espresso, cinnamon and even tobacco." (paper) vs "Other companies followed the Baumgold Bros. lead and named different shades clove, coffee, caramel, cappuccino, mocha, espresso, cinnamon and even tobacco." (article)

The paper cites Harvey Harris's "Fancy Color Diamonds" for the first part, which might be a legit source, although I have no way to verify, which was part of why I cited the paper instead of Harris directly. (For the other two sources for these excerpts, one had no relevant information as far as I could tell, and the other was from a jewlery company that went defunct in 2015, so even if I could find the website I doubt it would be very reliable.)

On second thought, I think maybe the best course of action is deleting that first paragraph for having no evidence behind its claims (all other evidence I could find online was either blatantly copy-pasted from the Wikipedia article or contained no reference to the Baumgold Brothers or anything before the 1980s).
