Every year Argyle sells its production of pink diamonds by a sealed bid process. At the 2005 sale there were 60 pink diamonds on offer.

With the demand of pink diamonds growing and becoming more scarce, experts predict that pink diamond prices will continue to rise and make history over the next few years. Especially for the highest graded stones like the intense and deep pink diamonds.
