Diamonds – Argyle Pink Diamonds

November 2009


Argyle Amour

Pink diamonds are coveted as the world’s most sought after gems. Pink diamonds’ value is directly related to their rarity. For every coloured diamond, there exists at least 10,000 colourless ones, because the physical conditions needed to colour a diamond naturally occur very scarcely.

90 per cent of the world’s pink diamonds come form the Rio Tinto Argyle Diamond Mines in Western Australia, Canada and Africa and are sold in a broad range of colours and sizes to an international customer base. The best stones are reserved for the annual Argyle Pink Diamonds Tender.

Rio Tinto Diamonds is a leading supporter of the Kimberley Process as well as a founding member of the Council for Responsible Jewellery Practices.
