Brown Diamonds

Chocolate, Cognac and Champagne Diamonds in Grand Cayman

The warm browns, from pale champagne to deep chocolate, set in 14-carat and 18-carat gold.

The Warm Browns

Depth of Colour Without the Fancy Premium

Chocolate, cognac and champagne are the same family separated by depth of colour. Champagne is the palest, a soft golden brown. Cognac is deeper and more orange. Chocolate is the darkest and richest of the three.

They are the value entry into fancy colour. Because brown diamonds are far more common than yellow, pink or blue, you can have a large, strongly coloured centre stone for a fraction of what an equivalent yellow would cost, which is why they are so often chosen for statement rings.

Warm browns look their best surrounded by small white diamonds, which give the brightness the stone itself does not have, and against rose or yellow gold rather than white. All of them are GIA-certified.

Questions

Good to Know

What is the difference between chocolate, cognac and champagne diamonds?
Depth of colour, in that order from darkest to palest. Chocolate is the richest and darkest brown, cognac is deeper and more orange, and champagne is the palest, a soft golden brown. All three are natural brown diamonds.
Are brown diamonds cheaper than white diamonds?
Generally yes, often significantly. Brown is far more common in nature than yellow, pink or blue, so brown diamonds are the most affordable way into fancy colour and frequently cost less than a colourless stone of the same weight.
How should a chocolate diamond be set?
Surrounded by small white diamonds and against rose or yellow gold. Brown diamonds do not return light the way a colourless stone does, so the white surround supplies the brightness and the warm metal reinforces the colour.
