Argyle Pink Diamonds
The mysterious beauty of pink diamonds is a captivating pleasure that will only be known by a select few.
Source & Origin
This is especially true now that the Argyle mine – the world’s main source of pink diamonds, is now exhausted. So, should the opportunity arise to see one, take it. It is a rare occurrence for all the geological stars to align, resulting in the formation of fancy coloured diamonds. Yet they did, deep below the rugged terrain of the Matsu Ranges in Australia’s East Kimberley region. This was the location of the world’s most prolific source of pink diamonds, the Argyle mine. Though pink diamonds accounted for just 1% of the discoveries at the mine, they represent 90% of all pink diamonds ever found. Its importance is unparalleled.
The Argyle mine closed in 2020, and when it did, the popularity of its pink diamonds skyrocketed, as collectors sought to make investment purchases before supplies ran dry. That time has now come, but we have managed to make some savvy acquisitions along the way.
An exceptional set of Argyle pink diamonds recently came into our possession; 12 perfectly matched heart shapes. At just 0.52ct, these stones are tiny, but their quality and provenance make them giants
of the diamond world.
Design
To enhance their colour, we have looped each pink diamond within a rose gold bezel that perfectly tracks its heart shape. Two of these special stones have been set in a pair of earrings as the centrepiece complimented by drops of heart-shaped colourless diamonds. The rest have found their way to a tennis bracelet, interspersed among 13.24ct of heart-shaped diamonds. These captivating pink diamonds provide a splash of colour that is all at once beautiful, historic, and a prudent investment.
