Popular Shades of Brown Colored Diamonds: Golden & Cognac Diamonds

I'm not a celebrity, but I want to look like one, said a customer who had called in to LEIBISH's sales department. This unfortunately is the most common myth about fancy colored stones. Granted, the rarer the diamond, the more expensive it will be. However, there are many amazingly beautiful stones that are well within the price range of fine jewelry that contains white stones as opposed to colored diamonds.


Fancy colored diamonds have grown tremendously in popularity over the past 30 years. Many of the rich, famous, and powerful have been seen adorning some of the world's finest fancy colored diamond jewelry. Only, as such a rare and unique item, prices for these stones can often reach quite high.


The problem is that not everyone has an enormous budget for all the luxury items the heart desires.


Both Brown and Yellow colored diamonds are comparatively speaking the least expensive fancy colored stones. The price is so competitive with the others becasue of how unique these colored diamonds are. Although, all colored diamonds are so rarely found, the price of Yellow and Brown colored diamonds are most dominantly affected as a result of their abundance in nature.

Still, like all other fancy colors, Golden diamonds can be found with different levels of intensity, clarity, and cut. The price can therefore vary from one extreme to the other. For example, the most famous Golden Diamond is the Golden Jubilee, a 545.67-carat, Fancy Yellow-Brown stone. The amazing rose cut diamond, with an unknown clarity, is known as the largest faceted diamond around today; valued somewhere between 5-12 million dollars.


The fancy Brown color is defined into a number of different shades. A Fancy Light Yellow Brown diamond could be referred to as a Champagne Diamond and a Fancy Dark pure Brown color could be referred to as a Cognac colored diamond.

Only, like all colored diamonds, since each and every stone is entirely unique, one needs to first asses the stone and ensure that it is a perfect fit.
