In a remote and breathtaking corner of Western Australia, the first Argyle pink diamonds were discovered in 1979, gleaming atop an anthill. Formed more than 1.6 billion years ago under extreme temperatures and tremendous pressure deep beneath the earth’s surface, these extraordinary diamonds revealed a rare glimpse into the ancient origins of the land.

Nowhere else in the world produced such a remarkable range and intensity of pink diamonds. After 37 years, the Argyle mine closed in 2020, marking the end of an extraordinary chapter in Australia’s diamond heritage.

As one of the final collections presented through the Argyle Pink Diamonds Tender 2020, Hardy Brothers offers clients direct access to 62 rare pink, red and blue Signature Tender Diamonds, alongside 12 petite suite sets.

Each is a rare and unrepeatable Argyle specimen, carefully selected for its distinctive colour and character. With the mine now closed, these exceptional diamonds represent a finite part of Australia’s natural and jewellery heritage.

Argyle pink diamonds are coveted for their rarity and exceptional beauty. So scarce are these diamonds that an entire year’s collection of polished Argyle pink diamonds over one carat could fit in the palm of one’s hand. It would take approximately 15 years to accumulate enough Argyle Pink Signature Tender diamonds to fill a champagne flute.

Beyond their beauty lies a story of provenance and careful custodianship, from the moment each diamond is unearthed to its transformation by the hands of the world’s finest diamond artisans.
