The closure of Rio Tinto’s Argyle diamond mine is set to happen in late 2020.  

  The new collection includes 64 lots and weighs a total of 211.21 carats - representing just 2% “of the Argyle pink diamond annual production”, according to the miner. According to Jewellery historian Vivienne Becker, quoted in a press release, the collection represents “one of the last offerings of its kind from the Argyle mine [...]”. Rio Tinto Copper & Diamonds vice president of sales and marketing Alan Chirgwin added: “The accumulation of these diamonds from a certifiable source in various shapes, sizes and colours is the result of a painstaking endeavour, unlikely to be ever repeated”.  

  The Argyle Pink Everlastings™ Collection will be tendered alongside the annual Argyle Pink Diamonds Tender in Perth, Singapore, London and New York with bids closing on October 9 2019.
