The Argyle Reserve
The mine is closed.
The value isn't.
In 2020 the Argyle mine closed for good. It was the source of more than nine in ten of the world's pink diamonds, and nothing has replaced it. We help Australians buy certified pink diamonds the right way, with full provenance, secure storage, and structuring that works inside an SMSF.
The Kimberley
The ground that made them will never give up another.
Argyle sat in one of the most remote corners of Australia. In 2020 it closed for good, and no comparable source has been found anywhere on earth.
Why finite means valuable
Economists have a phrase for it: terminal scarcity. Supply can only fall from here, never grow. Set the certified tier against the mine's whole lifetime output and you see how little of it there ever was.
- 865Mcarats of rough minedacross the mine's whole life, 1984 to 2021
- 8.65Mcarats of pink rough~1% of all production
- 13,536carats officially certified0.15% of pink rough, the blue-chip tier
A blue-chip that fits in a vault
Across the past twenty years, certified Argyle pink diamonds have run ahead of gold, equities and other coloured stones. The driver is simple. Demand kept climbing while new supply stopped in 2020.
Figures drawn from published coloured diamond price indices and are indicative. Certified Argyle stones vary by grade. Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns.
How the colour is graded
Every certified stone carries an Argyle grade for its hue. These are the four pink categories, running from the deepest and rarest down to the warmer, more affordable tones.
