This year’s prestigious collection showcases several “hero” stones that have been named in keeping with the theme of desirability and adoration of something very beautiful and rare. Argyle Siren™ is a 1.32 carat square radiant cut Fancy Vivid Purplish Pink diamond and Argyle Satine™ is a 1.02 carat cushion cut Fancy Intense Purplish Pink diamond. The collection of smaller blue diamonds showcases Argyle Allure™, a 0.33 carat heart shaped diamond, and also taking their reference from the feminine mystique are the similar sized oval and pear shaped blue and violet diamonds, Argyle Elektra™ and Argyle Heloise™.
