One of the Rarest and Most Valuable Colours of DiamondAll
natural fancy coloured diamonds are very rare and expensive. Pink is
one of the rarest and most desirable colours. The Darya-i-Nur diamond
is the largest pink diamond in the world at about 185 carats.Natural or Enhanced?Natural
pink diamonds are so rare that most jewellers have never seen one, and
will probably 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. How Rare?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 one 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.
We can also source large intensely coloured superstar pink diamonds. As
an example, we own a near 3 carat faint pink heart shaped diamond,
which we are offering at just over
