Argyle Pink Colored Diamond 

Pink diamonds have been highly valued since they were first discovered in Western Australia in 1983. These diamonds are extremely rare, no matter the size, with less than 1% of the 15 million carats of rough diamonds produced annually by the Argyle Diamond Mine being pink. The Argyle Diamond Mine was responsible for over 90% of the world's pink diamond supply. However, the mine has now closed, and there is no known consistent source of diamonds that match the unique spectrum of Argyle diamonds. As a result, owning an Argyle Pink Diamond, a 0.21ct round argyle is an incredibly rare and valuable opportunity to add to your collection.

 

The Princess Cut 

The princess cut (technical name 'square modified brilliant') is a diamond cut shape often used in engagement rings. The name dates back to the 1960s, while the princess cut as it exists was created by Betazel Ambar, Ygal Perlman, and Israel Itzkowitz in 1980. The cut has a square or rectangular shape when viewed from above, and from the side is similar to that of an inverted pyramid with four beveled sides. Its popularity was at its highest in the 80s and 90s, though its popularity was high in the 2000s as well. It is the second most popular diamond cut, below round and above cushion.
