Kimberly region of North West Australia, spectacular diamonds
were growing more beautiful as the centuries passed away, the
colors began to show. Finally in 1979, the first inkling Diamond
mine in the world became known. The Argyle Diamond mine.
Apparently, the Geologists discovered and realized that these
precious stones had become colored, even though, the original
Diamonds were formed over 3 Billion years ago, It was
compression of the Diamond lattice structure by tremendous
forces deep beneath the earth is said to have led to Red, Pink
and Champagne Diamonds, hence making Australia's soil, bright
with fire and brilliance ands color.
It's often said that it is all in the name, so true, Champagne

done on a bright day with natural day light. There are various
tints of Champagne colors, such as, C1-C2...Light Champagne C3-

Cut:
Sometimes, Bad or UN professional cutting can affect the color,
resulting in un-even color zoning; Bow-ties that often appear in
fancy cuts are not necessarily considered bad, unless it
dramatically affects the totality of the color.

Like all other diamonds, these stones come in a range of
clarities. The amount of color usually outweighs clarity unless
the stone is visibly marked.
