All About Champagne Diamonds & Why We Love Them

Allow us to convince you why you need a little Champagne 🍾  for your campaign. 

What is a Champagne colored diamond?

A champagne colored diamond is still a diamond, just one with slightly warmer tones. These diamonds are often lower on the color scale, and can range from lighter yellows and browns to fancy brown and oranges. They're sometimes referred to as cognac diamonds as well.

Technically speaking, per the GIA, the color in natural brown diamonds is caused by internal parallel brown grain lines due to distortion of the crystal lattice (arrangement of molecules). Science! 

Where do Champagne colored diamonds come from?

Mainly Australia! 🇦🇺 

Are Champagne diamonds more expensive than other diamonds?

It depends. 

One of the things we love about champagne diamonds is that they tend to be less expensive than higher colored stones, giving you more bang for your buck. 

However, certain champagne diamonds are very rare (especially in the antique world) and therefore more expensive. The good news is we can usually source a lovely champagne stone for most budgets!

What we love about Champagne colored diamonds

Our favorite design centering one of our all-time favorite diamonds! This irreplaceable beauty is in this gorgeous light champagne hue with a deliciously chunky shape. The side stones are the perfect accoutrement in a contrasting vibrant, white color to better display the color of the center stone.
