Want to know more about the Champagne Diamonds?
In a remote corner and deep beneath the ragged ranges in the
Kimberly region of North West Australia, spectacular diamonds
were growing more beautiful as the centuries passed away, the
colors began to show. Finally in 1979, the first inkling Diamond
mine in the world became known. The Argyle Diamond mine.
Apparently, the Geologists discovered and realized that these
precious stones had become colored, even though, the original
Diamonds were formed over 3 Billion years ago, It was
compression of the Diamond lattice structure by tremendous
forces deep beneath the earth is said to have led to Red, Pink
and Champagne Diamonds, hence making Australia's soil, bright
with fire and brilliance ands color.
It's often said that it is all in the name, so true, Champagne
Diamond, like Champagne, subtle, and mysterious, saturated with
rich natural color, that took billions of years in the making,
hence offering, these extraordinary, fire-laden gems in various
shades from light subtle color to a palette of colors, in
between, inspiring, remarkable jewelry making.
It is their uniqueness that these Diamonds are set off
brilliantly next to colorless diamonds, with an extra dose of
sparkle, dash of thrill, timeless classic, in built versatility
and limitless possibilities of innovation.

In the case of Champagne Diamonds it's the Three C's
Color:
To understand and inspect the true perspective, it should be
done on a bright day with natural day light. There are various
tints of Champagne colors, such as, C1-C2...Light Champagne C3-
C4...Medium Champagne C5-C6...Dark Champagne C7...Fancy Cognac.
Cut:
Sometimes, Bad or UN professional cutting can affect the color,
resulting in un-even color zoning; Bow-ties that often appear in
fancy cuts are not necessarily considered bad, unless it
dramatically affects the totality of the color.
Clarity:
Like all other diamonds, these stones come in a range of
clarities. The amount of color usually outweighs clarity unless
the stone is visibly marked.

Frequently Asked Questions Is the color in Champagne Diamonds
natural? Yes. It is not widely known but diamonds are naturally
found in more colors than most other gemstones. Color formed in
diamonds at about the time the gems started to shape, some three
billion years ago. There are said to be three primary causes of
color in diamonds: Foreign elements. During formation the
interaction of another element within the carbon crystal lattice
of the diamond led to color. Introduced nitrogen caused yellow
or orange diamonds. Boron gave rise to blue diamonds. Natural
radiation. This influence produced green diamonds. Pressure.
Compression of the diamond lattice structure by tremendous
forces deep beneath the earth is said to have led to red, pink
and Champagne Diamonds .
How are Champagne Diamonds graded by gemological laboratories?
Champagne Diamonds are graded by gemological laboratories in a
similar manner to colorless diamonds- except for the obvious
addition of color. Points to look for include: Color - With

Champagne. It's called the C1-C7 scale. C1-C2...Light Champagne

Cognac Cut - Bad cutting can affect the color in a diamond,
often leading to uneven color-zoning. In fancy colored diamonds,
"bow ties" often appear in those cut in fancy shapes. This is
not necessarily bad unless it dramatically affects the color of
the stone. Clarity - Like all diamonds, colored stones come in a
range of clarities. The amount of color usually outweighs
clarity unless the stone is visibly marked. What's the best way
to wear Champagne Diamonds? Remember to look for contrast
settings. Champagne Diamonds contrasted with white diamonds make
a beautiful and stylish look. What about men's jewelry with

rings, cufflinks and even lapel pins. What a great gift idea for
