What Are Champagne Diamonds?
Champagne diamonds are a captivating alternative to traditional colorless diamonds. With warm, earthy hues that range from pale gold to rich cognac, these diamonds offer a distinct look that’s luxurious yet understated.
Unlike yellow or pink diamonds, champagne diamonds get their soft brownish tones from natural inclusions of nitrogen during the diamond’s formation process. However, at Exotic Diamonds, our champagne diamonds are lab-grown, ensuring identical physical and chemical properties to mined diamonds—minus the environmental damage or ethical concerns.
Why Choose a Vintage Champagne Diamond Engagement Ring?
A vintage champagne diamond ring is more than a trend—it’s a timeless heirloom-in-the-making. Here’s why many couples are gravitating toward this style:
-
Distinctive Warmth: The golden undertones of champagne diamonds exude warmth and depth that flatter every skin tone.
-
Historical Inspiration: Vintage-inspired settings bring back the romance of bygone eras.
-
Ethical Elegance: Our rings use lab-created diamonds, ensuring that your symbol of love is as pure in origin as it is in design.
-
Uniquely You: No two champagne diamonds are exactly alike, making your ring as unique as your relationship.
The Allure of Lab-Grown Champagne Diamonds
While traditionalists often equate vintage style with mined diamonds, Aukera challenges that assumption with state-of-the-art, lab-grown alternatives that meet the highest quality standards. Our lab-grown champagne diamonds are:
-
Environmentally Responsible
-
Conflict-Free and Ethically Sourced
-
Physically and Optically Indistinguishable from Mined Diamonds
In fact, these gems are indistinguishable to the naked eye, offering exceptional sparkle, clarity, and hue—all while making a conscious choice for the planet and humanity.
Design Styles Inspired by Romantic Eras
Each champagne diamond ring in our collection draws inspiration from the most beloved design periods in history. Here are a few standout styles you’ll find at the Big Rock Festival:
1. Edwardian Elegance
Filigree metalwork, lace-like settings, and regal profiles define this style. Our Edwardian-inspired rings often feature milgrain details and floral motifs that showcase the vintage aesthetic beautifully.
2. Art Deco Drama
Geometric precision, symmetry, and bold shapes meet the warm glow of champagne diamonds in our Art Deco line. Expect step-cut stones, angular lines, and platinum settings that contrast beautifully with the diamond’s hue.
3. Victorian Romance
Known for ornate settings and sentimental symbolism, Victorian-style rings include hearts, flowers, and hidden inscriptions. These pieces are a poetic nod to enduring love.
4. Mid-Century Minimalism
For those who prefer elegant simplicity, our Mid-Century Modern collection highlights clean lines and understated settings that let the champagne diamond shine.

-
Rose Gold: Enhances the warm undertones of the diamond, creating a cohesive, romantic palette.
-
Yellow Gold: Adds richness and old-world charm, perfect for vintage lovers.

Care and Maintenance of Champagne Diamond Rings
While champagne diamonds are just as hard as traditional ones (ranking 10 on the Mohs scale), they do benefit from proper care:
-
Clean gently using a soft toothbrush and warm soapy water.
-
Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners.
-
Store separately in a soft pouch or lined box to avoid scratching.
-
Have it checked annually by a professional to ensure settings remain secure.
A well-maintained ring will not only retain its brilliance but also become an heirloom to pass down through generations.
