It’s summer, brides. In honor of wedding season, we’re excited to announce the release of our latest project: The June Champagne Collection.
It’s no secret that we love a champagne diamond. This color family is warm, romantic, and perfectly unique. And with its recent rise in popularity, we’ve had plenty of opportunities to create One of a Kind styles and bespoke engagement rings featuring these special gems.
Ready to see more? Let’s get into the details:
What is a Champagne Diamond?
Picture a diamond: bright, beautiful, and classically white. This iconic stone is the epitome of an engagement ring—but it doesn’t stop there. Diamonds are typically white, yes, but they exist in many spectrums of color. Consider pink, green, and yellow (just to name a few).
A champagne diamond is a naturally colored stone with a yellow-brow tint. Named after its resemblance to the sparkling wine, champagne diamonds are beloved for their signature warm, golden color. This color is the product of excess nitrogen in the formation process.

Light vs. Dark Champagne
Love this look? You’re in luck—the champagne spectrum has a wide range of tones to choose from. They vary from subtle pale hues, to amber, or dark cognac.
Enter “June Champagne”—our design team has expertly selected two shades for the new collection: June Champagne—a light, golden shimmer—and Deep Champagne—a rich, bold contrast. These new rings feature both signature shades in a variety of lab and mined diamond settings.

Consider the Cut
So, you want a champagne diamond, but you’re not sure where to start. Before you settle on a stone, know this: champagne diamond color can vary based on the cut. A brilliant cut, for example, may appear much darker than a portrait cut of the same shade. This is due to the amount of facets in the stone.
Here’s a general rule: deep cuts—more facets, more light refraction, will appear darker in color (i.e. brilliant, Portuguese cut, etc). Shallow cuts—less faceting, minimal light refraction, emit a lighter shade (portrait, rose cut, etc).
Selecting the right stone is a simple combination of cut and color. Take a look at this diagram of our available diamond cuts for reference:
