Not White. Not Pink. Champagne. And Entirely Its Own.

The champagne diamond occupies a category entirely its own — a warm, golden-brown color that is neither the icy brilliance of a colorless diamond nor the vivid saturation of a fancy pink or yellow. It is something richer, more complex, and more quietly beautiful than either: a color that evokes warmth, depth, and a kind of understated luxury that colorless diamonds simply cannot replicate. In an emerald cut at 2.41 carats of VS1 clarity, the champagne color pools in the step-cut facets and deepens toward the stone's corners in a display of warm, glassy light that is genuinely unlike anything else in fine jewelry. This is the stone for the buyer who has seen every colorless diamond and wants something that tells a different story.

The Specifications

• Carat Weight: 2.41 Carats
• Shape: Emerald Cut — Rectangular step-cut with cropped corners; long, glassy facets create a hall-of-mirrors effect that is uniquely beautiful in a fancy color diamond, allowing the champagne color to saturate and deepen within the stone
• Color: Champagne — A warm, golden-brown fancy color; champagne diamonds range from light golden to deep cognac in tone, with the color appearing richest and most complex in step-cut shapes like the emerald cut
• Clarity: VS1 — Very Slightly Included, first degree; inclusions invisible to the naked eye and extremely difficult to detect even under 10x magnification — exceptional transparency that allows the champagne color to perform at its absolute best
• Certification: Non-Certified — This stone has not been submitted to an independent grading laboratory. The champagne color and VS1 clarity grades reflect Virtue Diamonds' in-house assessment. See our transparent note below.
• Origin: Lab-Grown — Physically, chemically, and optically identical to a natural champagne diamond; conflict-free and ethically sourced

Why the Emerald Cut Is the Perfect Shape for Champagne

The choice of an emerald cut for a champagne diamond is a deliberate and sophisticated one — and it is the right one. Where brilliant cuts scatter light in every direction, the emerald cut's long step-cut facets create deliberate, glassy flashes that allow the color to saturate and concentrate within the stone. In a champagne diamond, this means the warm golden-brown tones pool in the stone's depths, deepen toward its corners, and flash across its surface in long, luminous sweeps of color that are entirely distinct from anything a brilliant cut can produce. The emerald cut does not dilute the champagne color — it amplifies it.

The Champagne Diamond: A Color With Character

Champagne diamonds — also known as cognac or brown diamonds — have experienced a significant renaissance in fine jewelry over the past decade, as buyers have discovered that the warm, complex tones of a champagne stone offer something that colorless diamonds cannot: character. The champagne color is not a compromise or a lesser grade — it is a deliberate choice, a statement of taste, and a color that pairs with metals and settings in ways that colorless diamonds simply do not. In yellow gold or rose gold, a champagne emerald cut creates a harmony of warm tones that is deeply sophisticated and completely current.

Setting Recommendations

A 2.41 carat champagne emerald cut is most beautifully showcased in settings that complement and deepen its warm color. Yellow gold is the definitive pairing — the warm metal tone and the champagne diamond create a harmony of golden warmth that is breathtaking. Rose gold is equally beautiful, adding a blush warmth that deepens the champagne tones. A sleek full bezel in yellow or rose gold creates a seamless frame that amplifies the color. A simple four-prong solitaire allows the stone's color and step-cut facets to speak for themselves. Contact us to discuss custom setting options.
