Lab Grown Champagne Diamond Engagement Rings

Why choose a champagne diamond ring

A champagne diamond ring offers warmth and elegance without the boldness of a brighter fancy colour. Champagne is the lightest and softest of the brown family, a gentle golden tone named for the way it resembles sparkling wine, and it is one of the most wearable of all the fancy colours. The colour ranges from a pale, barely there gold through to a richer honey champagne, and it flatters warm skin tones and warm metals beautifully. A champagne diamond engagement ring has a quiet, sophisticated character that suits everyday wear.

Where champagne sits among coloured diamonds

Champagne, cognac and chocolate are all names for diamonds in the brown family, distinguished by how light or deep the tone is, with champagne the lightest. The colour was rebranded from plain brown in the 1980s, when the Argyle mine in Australia and a marketing campaign gave these warm tones the more appealing names they carry today. The Argyle mine even had its own champagne colour scale running from light to deep. That repositioning is why champagne is now a sought after colour for engagement rings rather than an overlooked one.

What gives a champagne diamond its colour

Champagne describes a lighter tone within the brown colour family. Natural brown shades can be associated with crystal distortion and other characteristics. A lab grown champagne diamond's colour can involve growth conditions or later treatment, so check the selected stone's report instead of assuming it is untreated.

Why lab grown makes sense for champagne

A champagne diamond can bring a gentle, warm focal point to a solitaire or diamond-accented setting. Compare the actual colour beside your preferred precious metal and check the dimensions and current complete-ring price. If origin is part of your decision, ask which supplier information is available for the selected diamond.

Choosing the shape and setting

Cushion and radiant cuts hold the warm colour well, while round and oval brilliants keep the focus on sparkle. Champagne pairs naturally with warm metals, and a rose gold champagne diamond ring is a particularly popular combination, the blush of the metal echoing the warmth of the stone. Against platinum or white gold the colour gains a little more contrast. A halo of colourless diamonds makes the champagne tone appear richer, and shoulder set and trilogy designs add brilliance along the band.
