Catalogue Essay
In today’s market, pink diamonds represent less than 0.05% of the annual global production of diamonds. With the expectancy of the Australian Argyle mine’s supply of pink diamonds anticipated to continue only for another ten years, good quality fancy pink diamonds are increasingly difficult to find. However, pink diamonds do not come in sizes that are more readily available for their colourless counterparts. In fact, the annual yield of gem-quality pink diamonds from Argyle, which is now the prominent source responsible for 90% of the world’s pink diamond production, could fit in the palm of your hand. With the majority of the cut stones weighing no more than 0.20 carat, a pink diamond over 1 carat is very rare, and this fancy purplish pink diamond of almost 4 carats is a tremendous example of the finest specimen.
