A champagne diamond is a natural diamond with warm, earthy tones, ranging from soft blush to deep cognac. Its colour comes from traces of nitrogen in the stone, creating a palette that feels both understated and bold. 

At Black Finch, we love champagne diamonds for their individuality. No two are ever quite the same, and that’s exactly the point. They’re perfect for those drawn to organic elegance, something timeless, but never predictable. 

Champagne diamonds are typically mined in Australia, most famously from the Argyle mine in Western Australia, which was renowned for producing a spectrum of richly coloured diamonds before its closure in 2020. While Argyle stones are now increasingly rare, their legacy lives on in the warm, radiant tones we associate with these uniquely Australian gems. At Black Finch, we carefully source our champagne diamonds from ethical suppliers, ensuring each stone not only looks beautiful, but carries a story you can feel good about wearing. 

A salt and pepper diamond is nature’s rule-breaker, imperfectly perfect, filled with flecks of black and white inclusions that make each stone one-of-a-kind. Unlike traditional diamonds prized for clarity, salt and pepper diamonds embrace their natural quirks, telling a raw, organic story through their unique constellation of markings. At Black Finch, we love these diamonds for their individuality and edge, they're for those who want something a little less ordinary, and a little more them. 

Salt and pepper diamonds are mined in many of the same regions as traditional diamonds, including India, Russia, and Africa. Because they don’t require the same level of clarity grading, these stones often bypass the intensive sorting processes used for more conventional diamonds, making them a more sustainable choice with less waste. At Black Finch, we source our salt and pepper diamonds ethically, working with trusted suppliers who share our commitment to transparency and responsible practices. Each stone is hand-selected for its beauty, character, and the story it brings to your piece. 

At Black Finch, a diamond engagement ring becomes truly unique when it reflects more than just brilliance, it tells your story. It might be the character of a salt and pepper diamond, the warm glow of a champagne stone, or the subtle asymmetry of an artist’s hand. Maybe it’s the recycled gold, the sculptural silhouette, or the way two stones meet in a toi et moi setting. What makes a ring unique isn’t just the design, it’s the feeling it holds, the details you choose, and the intention behind its creation. Designed in our Melbourne studio and made by hand, every Black Finch diamond ring is crafted to be one of a kind, just like the love it represents.

A champagne diamond on an engagement ring speaks to warmth, individuality, and a love that doesn’t follow the rules. Its soft golden tones feel earthy and elegant, less expected than a traditional white diamond, but just as enduring. At Black Finch, we love champagne diamonds for their depth and nuance; each one is naturally tinted and completely unique. Choosing one for your engagement ring says something about your story: that beauty comes in many shades, and tradition is best when it’s personal.
