Champagne Diamond Jewelry

Champagne diamonds are natural brown-family diamonds with a warm gold-to-honey tone, most often set in rose or yellow gold. The champagne diamond tennis bracelets and jewelry in this collection state color origin on every listing. The 2.00-carat champagne diamond tennis bracelet, for example, is listed as natural diamonds with enhanced color, SI clarity, in 14K rose gold at 7 inches. Each piece ships with a GIA-certified appraisal, free shipping and a 30-day money-back guarantee.

What is a champagne diamond tennis bracelet?

A champagne diamond tennis bracelet is a continuous line of matched champagne-toned diamonds, each prong-set and linked so the bracelet flexes around the wrist. It wears the same way as a white diamond tennis bracelet, but reads warmer and softer, especially in rose gold. The 2.00-carat champagne tennis bracelet spreads its weight across many small stones, so tone matching from stone to stone is what makes the line look even.

Natural color or enhanced color?

Every champagne diamond falls into one of three groups: natural color, natural diamond with enhanced color, or lab-grown. Enhanced-color stones are real mined diamonds whose color was deepened after mining, and they cost well below natural-color stones of the same size. That price difference is why enhanced color is the usual choice for tennis bracelets, where dozens of stones need to match.

Neither option is wrong, provided the listing says which one it is. Each listing in this collection states it. For how lab-grown and natural diamonds compare more generally, see Lab-Grown vs. Natural Diamonds.

Light or dark champagne?

Champagne runs from pale straw gold to deep honey, and the darkest end of the same range is called cognac. Paler stones look most golden in rose or yellow gold. Darker stones hold their color against white gold. The trade's C1 to C7 scale and how it maps to GIA's fancy-color grades are set out in Fancy Coloured Champagne Diamonds.

Which gold suits champagne diamonds?

14K rose gold is the classic pairing: the pink metal picks up the warmth in the stones and makes the line look evenly golden. Yellow gold gives a similar warm result. White gold cools the setting and lets the brown tone stand out, which suits deeper champagne and cognac shades.

Common questions

Are champagne diamonds real diamonds?

Yes. A champagne diamond is carbon with the same hardness and crystal structure as a colorless diamond. The warm tone comes from trace nitrogen and slight distortion in the crystal as it formed.

Is the color in a champagne diamond tennis bracelet natural?

It depends on the bracelet, and the listing says which. Many champagne tennis bracelets use natural diamonds with enhanced color because matching dozens of natural-color stones is far more costly.

What is the difference between champagne and cognac diamonds?

They are two ends of the same brown color range. Champagne is the lighter, golden end; cognac is the deep brown end. Neither name appears on a GIA report, which describes both by hue and intensity.

Do champagne diamonds sparkle like white diamonds?

Yes. Sparkle comes from cut, so a well-cut champagne diamond returns light the same way a colorless one does, with a warm tone on top.
