Rio Tinto Unveils $2 Million Argyle Rose Jewelry Piece

Rio Tinto has unveiled the Argyle Rose™, featuring “one of the last diamonds” to be mined from the Argyle mine in Australia, according to a press release quoted by Diamond World. Argyle closed in 2020, after 37 years of operations and producing more than 865 million carats of rough diamonds.

 

Designed by Western Australian jeweler Solid Gold Diamonds, the Argyle Rose™ features a  total of 3.25 carats of rare Argyle pink and blue diamonds encrusted in a rose motif, surrounded by white diamonds and hand-set in platinum and 18K gold.  

 

The heart of the piece is an “extremely rare” 1.36 carat, Fancy Deep Pink radiant cut diamond – just one of 12 radiant-cut diamonds over 1-carat with a color grading, 1P, from the last  30 years of production from Argyle. The surrounding petaled design of pink and blue Argyle Diamonds™  totals 1.89 carats, together with 2.80 carats of white diamonds. 

 

The Argyle Rose™ can be worn as a ring or statement pendant and has a price tag of $2 million.
