The combination of rarity, certification, and historical significance makes Argyle pink diamonds a unique and valuable addition to any collection.
Pink diamonds are a marvel of nature, distinguished by their captivating hues that range from delicate pastels to vibrant magentas. Unlike other diamonds, their unique colour is not due to
chemical impurities but rather a phenomenon known as plastic deformation. This occurs deep within the Earth’s mantle, where intense pressure and heat cause distortions in the diamond’s crystal lattice, resulting in its stunning pink colouration. These diamonds are incredibly rare, with the Argyle Diamond Mine in Western Australia having been the primary source, it produced over 90% of the world’s pink diamonds until it's closure in November, 2020. The allure of these precious stones lies in their beauty and rarity, making them some of the most sought-after diamonds in the world.
Pink diamonds differ in shade and colour and are graded according to tone, saturation, and distribution. The higher its intensity and saturation, the rarer and more valuable it is. Argyle diamonds use a colour scale ranging from purplish pink to pink rose on a scale from 1 to 8, with one being the most intense colour and eight the palest colour.

Reputable jewellers and diamond dealers also play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of these precious stones, sourcing them from legitimate suppliers and ensuring they are free from any treatments or enhancements.

Proper care is essential to preserve your pink diamond's beauty and value. While pink diamonds are renowned for their durability, they still require regular maintenance to keep them looking their best. Avoid exposing your pink diamond to harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures, as these can damage its surface or alter its colour. Store your pink diamond separately from other jewellery to prevent scratches and damage. Regular cleaning with mild soap and water, followed by thorough drying, will help maintain its brilliance and lustre. By following these simple care tips, you can ensure that your pink diamond remains a stunning and cherished possession for years to come.
