Discover the Allure of Desert Diamonds

FROM SUNSET HUES AND WARM TONES, COLORED DIAMONDS INSPIRED BY DESERT SHADES ARE THE NEXT TREND TO WATCH

There’s something endlessly captivating about the sunlit tones of the desert, from the soft glow of golden sand, the warmth of sunset light, and the radiance that lingers long after the sun dips below the horizon. These same tones come alive in colored diamond jewelry, where shades of yellow, champagne, and cognac diamonds evoke natural beauty, sophistication, and a quietly powerful sense of luxury through colors that can only form deep beneath the Earth's surface to tell a story as original as each stone. When De Beers introduced Desert Diamonds to the world, it captured imaginations with visions of windswept dunes, sunlit palettes, and the mysterious beauty of untouched landscapes. The campaign celebrates natural diamonds in golden hues echoing the glow of desert light. While the campaign sparked a trend, the true allure of these diamonds lies far deeper than visuals. Desert-hued diamonds from pale canary to rich cognac are not just a concept, they are nature’s artistry, millions of years in the making. We have crafted beautiful designs with with these tones in ways that honor their soul, not just their shade. Discover a few of our favorite yellow diamond designs below.

SUNNY HUES

Yellow, champagne, and cognac diamonds carry an earthy elegance untouched by trends. Each stone can symbolize its own aspect of the desert. Canary yellow diamonds are bold, radiant, and have the look of being soaked by the rays of the sun. Champagne diamonds have a soft, sandy look and are effortlessly sophisticated. Cognac diamonds have a deep, golden warmth, like the desert at dusk. These hues represent presence, power and quiet individuality. The below bespoke commission is a radiant cut canary yellow diamond that is as radiant as the sun. The trapezoid flank setting adds even more sparkle, reminiscent of golden rays of sunshine glistening over an infinite horizon.

RADIANT RINGS

Our Shield setting pairs beautifully with colored diamond center stones in any cut and color of your choice. Our signature triple row ridged band resembles the natural curves of wind-blown sand dunes. Each colored diamond is meticulously sourced and then sculpted into a setting designed specifically for that stone. No two hues are identical, and our designs can be just as unique.
