Pink Diamonds - The Very Highest Quality Diamonds
The first and only website which deals exclusively with the subject of Pink diamonds. One of the Rarest and Most Valuable Colours of Diamond* Natural or Enhanced? Natural pink diamonds are so rare that most jewellers have never seen one, and will never own one. In recent years, treatment processes have been developed to alter the colour of some diamonds. Most of the pink diamonds we have bought are natural, although we also happy to offer enhanced or treated pink diamonds. Any diamonds shown on this site will be natural unless otherwise marked. In our first twenty years of designing diamond rings, we had only owned 5 coloured diamonds, four of which were certificated as natural. Among the largest diamonds in the world only 1 out of the top 66 is pink, although there are a number of other famous pink diamonds. In recent years the Argyle mine in Australia has produced a relatively large number of fancy coloured diamonds including pink ones. Surprisingly, the increased availability of pink diamonds has increased the interest and demand for pink diamonds. Argyle now produces about 90% of the total world supply of pink diamonds. How Expensive? Quality for quality, fancy pink diamonds are more expensive than ordinary near-colourless ones. We have seen astronomical prices quoted for pink diamonds, but we manage to source small numbers at reasonable prices. Most pink diamonds, even enhanced ones, are more expensive than white ones of similar quality. Natural pinks are more valuable than enhanced, deep intense colours are generally more expensive than pale pinks. There are obviously many different varieties of pink, the "nicest" pinks are the most desirable and most expensive. How Many What About Rubies or Pink Sapphires? Why bother to get so excited about pink diamonds, when we could use rubies or pink sapphires instead? The very best sapphires are quite expensive, and they still do not have the sparkle that pink diamonds possess. In addition even though sapphires are very hard and durable, diamonds are many times harder and even more durable. More Information Rings Pendants & Ear-Rings We have also made a few pendants, and are about to produce our first pair of pink diamond ear-rings. Because of the variation in colours, and the small numbers of pink diamonds we get to see, it is not easy to find matching pairs of pink diamonds for ear-rings. Watch this space. Actually look out for new links near the top left of this page. *Rarest |
