What is a Pink Diamond?

Pink diamonds are one of nature's rarest and most captivating treasures. These exquisite gems are known for their stunning color, which can range from a faint blush to a deep, vivid pink. Their rarity and beauty make them highly sought after, not only as a piece of jewelry but also as a symbol of luxury and status.

Pink diamonds are formed under extreme heat and pressure, deep within the Earth's mantle. Unlike other diamonds, the color of pink diamonds is not caused by impurities but rather by a unique distortion in the crystal lattice during formation. This makes each pink diamond truly unique, with its own distinctive hue and intensity.

The Origins of Pink Diamonds
Most of the world's pink diamonds are mined in Australia, particularly from the Argyle Mine in Western Australia, which has produced over 90% of the global supply. However, the Argyle Mine closed in 2020, further increasing the rarity and value of these extraordinary gems. Other sources include mines in Brazil, South Africa, and Russia, but these contribute only a small fraction compared to Argyle.

The Value of Pink Diamonds
The value of a pink diamond is determined by several factors, including color intensity, size, and clarity. The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) grades pink diamonds on a scale from 'Faint' to 'Fancy Vivid.' The more intense and vibrant the color, the higher the value. Additionally, pink diamonds with minimal inclusions and larger carat sizes are considered more valuable.

For example, a pink diamond ring with a 'Fancy Vivid' grade can fetch astronomical prices at auctions, often surpassing the prices of equivalent white diamonds. This makes pink diamonds not only a beautiful addition to any jewelry collection but also a wise investment.

Famous Pink Diamonds
Several pink diamonds have gained fame for their exceptional size and beauty. The 'Pink Star,' a 59.60-carat diamond, holds the record for the most expensive gemstone ever sold at auction, fetching over $71 million. Another notable pink diamond is the 'Graff Pink,' a 24.78-carat diamond sold for $46 million. These famous stones showcase the allure and prestige associated with pink diamonds.
