Valentine's Day Gift Edit: Champagne Diamonds & More

This Valentine's Day, we are shining the spotlight on our Ready to Ship champagne diamond rings. With the fairly recent closing of the Australian Argyle Diamond Mine- a leading producer of the world's champagne diamonds- there has been a new spike in the interest and value of these ethically handmade pieces. 

Champagne diamonds are naturally colored golden to brown as a result of the presence of nitrogen in the environment where the gem forms. The family of brown or "champagne" diamonds includes stones with various shades, including "cognac" diamonds, "mocha" diamonds, and dark brown "chocolate" diamonds. This category of Fancy Diamonds- neutral in tone with exciting color play ranging from tan and beige to deep honey and rich, velvety browns- is quite versatile and wearable. Champagne diamonds look fantastic on all skin tones, but certain shades really pop on darker complexions and the look is breathtaking.

There is only 1 of each of these exclusive Dana Walden champagne engagement rings in stock. Here are the 3 most-viewed designs, ready to ship now.

One of our most romantic creations, HATTIE is a 1ct cushion-cut diamond accented with 0.15ctw marquise diamond accents. Set in recycled 14K yellow gold with clawed prongs at North, South, East and West of that gorgeous champagne diamond. Size 6 ships in 2-3 days.

Starry night skies served as the inspiration for our enchanting ELSIE engagement ring. For this piece, Dana set out to design an engagement ring with the thinnest band possible - but he wanted the diamonds to stand out and almost 'twinkle' along a yellow gold band. Size 6.75 ships in 2-3 days. This ring can be resized, but please add 7 days for that adjustment to be made. To order a ring with complimentary re-sizing, please indicate the desired ring size in the NOTES field at Checkout.
