Rio Tinto Pink Diamond Jewelry in Japan

The Argyle pink diamond is one of the world’s rarest diamonds. Nearly a third of Argyle pink diamonds are sold in Japan, making up over a quarter of the pink diamonds world market. In Japan they are seen as synonymous with romance.

In 2015 Rio Tinto paired with bridal house Hatsuko Endo to create a shoulder brooch that took Japanese jeweler Kashikey two years to craft. It features 26 carats of diamonds of graduating colors, set into a wisteria pattern.
Guests at the showcase got a glimpse of the Argyle pink diamond tiara, which is composed of nearly 180 Argyle pink diamonds totaling 20 carats.

Ultra-Rare Fancy Red Diamonds were among Five ‘Hero’ Diamonds Unveiled by Rio Tinto at the 2015 Tender. The 2015 Tender, known as the “Connoisseur’s Collection,” comprised 65 diamonds weighing a total of 44.14 carats.

The diamonds come from Rio Tinto’s Argyle Mine in Western Australia, and represent the company’s best red and pink gems from its yearly production.

It is the biggest Fancy Red diamond to ever come from Argyle. In the 33-year history of the Argyle Pink Diamonds Tender there have been less than 20 carats of Fancy Red certified diamonds sold.
