Many people describe brown or brownish diamonds as champagne diamonds, presumably because it sounds more exotic, expensive and desirable. Certainly, brown is not a high preference color so it is not high on most people's list of their favorite colors. Nevertheless brown diamonds are very rare and very attractive. Most brown diamonds are natural rather than enhanced.
Brown diamonds have a tint of brownish body color. The brown group is usually less expensive than any other group due to the fact that they are less appealing to most consumers. In their lightest tones, they face up reasonably white in a yellow setting. The common shades are very light brown (champagne), medium brown (champagne), Brown (dark champagne), and Dark brown (fancy cognac). |
