Pink Diamonds
Advice to help you understand Pink Diamonds
Pink diamonds are amongst the world's rarest and most valuable diamonds. Western Australia’s Argyle diamond mine is the world's principal source of pink diamonds. Very few pink diamonds are intense in colour.
Nature creates pink diamonds in shades ranging from subtle pastel rose to strong raspberry and powerful purple-reds.
The value of a pink diamond is determined by the intensity of its colour. The 4C's which determine a diamonds price (cut, colour, clarity and carat weight) apply just the same to all colours of diamonds; however very intense colours – no matter which colours – have a greater influence on a diamond’s price.
Argyle Diamonds created a colour scale especially for pink diamonds. The pink diamonds colour scale ranges from 7P (Darkest) to 1P (Lightest).
1P pink diamonds are much more expensive than 2P-7P pink diamonds.
