About Argyle Pink Diamonds™

Argyle Pink Diamonds™ were produced at Rio Tinto's Argyle Diamond Mine in Western Australia, and are highly coveted as the world's most sought-after diamonds. While operating, the Argyle Diamond Mine produced more than 90% of the world's pink diamond supply, which were sold in a range of colour grades and sizes to an international customer base.

The market for pink diamonds is quite separate to white diamonds, and due to their rarity, pink diamonds typically command prices far in excess of their colourless counterparts.

The finest and rarest diamonds were reserved for the annual Argyle Pink Diamonds Signature Tender™.
