What is the difference between a champagne diamond and a white diamond?
While white diamonds shimmer with a clear icy brilliance, champagne diamonds glow with warm, golden hues. White diamonds are graded on the D-Z color scale, with D being completely colorless. Champagne diamonds, on the other hand, fall in the K-Z range and have a rich, sunlit depth that glows rather than sparkles.
Are champagne Argyle diamonds valuable?
Yes—especially now. The Argyle mine in Australia, once the primary source of the world’s most exquisite champagne diamonds, closed in 2020. This makes Argyle champagne diamonds increasingly rare and highly sought after.
What grade is a champagne diamond?
Champagne diamonds are graded on two different scales: the traditional D-Z color scale (with K-Z encompassing these golden hues) and the Argyle C1-C7 champagne diamond scale, where C1 represents the lightest golden shades and C7 the deepest, richest cognac tones.
Are champagne diamonds lab-grown?
Champagne diamonds occur naturally, with their rich color created by trace amounts of nitrogen. As of now, there are no lab grown versions of champagne diamonds.
What does the champagne diamond mean spiritually?
Connected with the crown chakra, diamonds are the highest vibration gemstone of them all. Just as a diamond refracts light, it directs and streamlines your mental energy for more clarity, less confusion, and a deeper connection with your intuition. Known as cleansing stones, champagne diamonds help clean out mental clutter to regain calm, focus, and balance.
With a clearer mind, comes a renewed sense of purpose and connection with your highest, most aligned self.
