Natural Pink Diamonds

The Argyle mine, located in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, was the world's primary source of pink diamonds for several decades. It was particularly known for producing intense and vivid pink diamonds, including the highly coveted "Argyle Pink Diamond Tender." With the closure of the Argyle mine in 2021, the supply of pink diamonds from this source has ceased, making pink diamonds even rarer.

Some pink diamonds have been discovered in diamond mines in South Africa and Brazil. Russia has also produced pink diamonds, although they are not as well-known as those from other sources. Pink diamonds have been found in smaller quantities in various other locations, but these sources are not as significant in terms of production.

Pink diamonds come in various types and classifications based on their color, intensity, and characteristics. The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) grades pink diamonds on a scale that ranges from:

• Faint Pink
• Very Light Pink
• Light Pink
• Fancy Light Pink
• Fancy Pink
• Fancy Intense Pink
• Fancy Vivid Pink
• Fancy Deep Pink

Pink diamonds can also have modifying colors that influence their overall appearance. For example, pink diamonds may be described as "Purplish Pink" or "Orangy Pink" when secondary hues or modifiers are present.

Descriptive terminology is often used to convey the distinctive hue of a pink diamond. For example: Bubble-Gum Pink, Raspberry Pink, Peachy Pink, or Champagne Pink.

The value of pink diamonds can vary significantly based on several factors, including the size, intensity, hue, clarity, and cut quality.

• Larger pink diamonds are rarer and more valuable per carat than smaller ones. Most pink diamonds found are less than one carat in size, and larger pink diamonds weighing several carats are exceptionally rare.
• The intensity and purity of a pink diamond plays a significant role in determining their value, with higher saturation levels like "Fancy Intense" or "Fancy Vivid" pink diamonds commanding the highest prices.
• Pink diamonds can also have modifying colors that influence their overall appearance and value. Pink diamonds with secondary colors, such as purple, orange, or brown undertones, may have different price points based on the overall visual appeal and rarity of the color.
• Pink diamonds with higher clarity grades are much less common on the market and typically more valuable.
• Additionally, the quality of a pink diamond's cut affects its color dispersion, brilliance, and overall appeal.
