About Argyle Located in a remote corner of the East Kimberley wilderness in far western Australia, the Argyle Mine has been one of the most productive diamond mines ever discovered.

It has produced over 865 million carats, but is best known for the range of iconic pink diamonds that bear its name. Argyle has been the only consistent source of pink diamonds, producing 90% of the world’s supply of this extremely rare gem.

We remain dedicated to the Kimberly Process, never buying or trading rough diamonds from areas where their sale would support conflict or human distress.

No other mine in the world produces diamonds with a depth, range and intensity of color than the rich, vivid palette of pinks, blues, violets and reds as the Argyle Mine. Its closure leaves an irreplaceable void, rendering Argyle Pink Diamonds an increasingly rare treasure.

Beyond Rare™ Created over 1.6 billion years ago, Argyle Pink Diamonds have long been coveted for their rarity. As the Argyle Mine has closed they are becoming rarer and more valuable every day. To demonstrate how rare Argyle Pink diamonds are, an entire year’s worth of pink diamonds over half a carat would fit in the palm of your hand, and it would take nearly 15 years to accumulate enough Argyle Pink Signature Tender diamonds (the finest pinks mined each year, distinguished for their intensity and vibrancy of color) to fill a champagne flute.

It is no wonder they are highly sought-after by collectors, royalty, celebrities and diamond aficionados worldwide.
