I am an Australian and pink diamonds are pretty and rare but I get the impression pricing of diamonds of all kinds is opaque. I have a small pink diamond .17 ct and price has not gone up after six years. Jewellery is mostly for pleasure not investment but does not turn to junk like many other consumer goods and can realise some value in a sale.
Diamonds are a joke. Nothing more than the modern day equivalent of the Dutch Tulip. The only difference is, the diamond merchants figure out how to keep their market from crashing.
i have a couple nice diamonds that i occasionally wear. i have a man's ring my dad won in a poker game, it has a 3.2 carat solitary stone setting in 18k gold, and a matched pair of women's platinum stud earrings that i inherited. the earrings are nice, each one is almost two carats. my grandmother left them to me to (hopefully) have reset into an engagement ring. i never married lol myself, i like blue sapphires and moonstones. and my birthstone, aquamarine. i prob wouldn't buy a diamond for myself. in a watch, maybe.
I'll take one of each please lol I wish!!!🌹STUNNING 💞 & 2 of each of all the blue sapphires my borthstone!!! I'd love to work around and show all of them off to buyer's...
Get one of the lab created gems. I know they have pinks for a lot less than natural and amazingly the quality is extremely high as well. Considering they are exactly the same as regular diamonds and really the only tell would be getting a nice sized diamond of exceptional quality at a reasonable price.
There are diamonds of this color from the state of Arkansas in the US. They are rare, about 1 a year or so. But I have personally held a 1.5 CT in my hand.
I'm from Melbourne and I love them too. I've finally been able to afford a champagne argyle and have a Perth jeweller design a ring for it. 20 years I waited but it was worth it. (I'm not a 'pink' person but even the white ones from the Kimberley are special).
When first discovered in the State of Western Australia, the first remarks about Argyle Pink Diamonds were that they were a stone outside the usual Diamond buyer spectrum Therefore, they could not be considered as being consistent with the conventional Diamond pricing regimen. (Despite its range of coloration.) This being suggested by the Diamond experts of that former era, could not demand the premium prices of conventional color white Diamond. I suggest that this was a means to devalue Australia's Diamonds. Once again, the experts were wrong, as these experts were merely guessing their expert opinion. This same opinion was given about Australia's Sapphires some 100 odd years ago. Australian Sapphires were found to be harder than the range of Sapphires from around the rest of the World. Because they were harder to facet at that time, the expert's opinion given at that far earlier time......was that Australia's Sapphires could not possibly be as valuable as the usual finely faceted blue Sapphire. Again the emphasis was to drive down the value of an Australian precious gemstone. This industry also proved to be wrong, just as the industry was wrong in the later era about the Argyle Diamonds with the rarity of the many shaded colors then available. So one learns again that experts can be wrong in their first estimation.....was it simply because Australian quality gemstones were "different?" Simply because they were outside of the usual spectrum of World available, another proven fallacy it seems, or not normal, in other words, a load of shit from the experts, how could they make a guess about Australia's originating variant color Diamond Specimens?
I own a 5.35 carat pink diamond, it's rough, I still prefer it rather than cut diamonds as they are more interesting to look at and are a hell of a lot more cheaper.
After we found a way to make diamonds I dont understand how these are still selling for so high...And furthermore it's not even that rare, its f***ing carbon. Gold can not be made by man and is my love.
@@youngsmollsmokeysmols488 you're saying fakes when they are not... they are Man Made, its not FAKE, its a real diamond just made in a lab... you can't make gold. but Diamonds being considered valuable no matter the source is stupid IMO. Lab made diamonds have gotten so close to natural that they need a $10,000 machine just to make sure it's natural. At that point it's all stupid and anyone buying Diamonds is stupid.
Australia where these are mined, when one has beholded an Argyle Diamonds, the rest look .....dull. Yellow Argyles are beautiful....yummy. The pinks standout........
The Arglye diamond mine is closing as they have run out and f diamonds. So no diamonds but what is left is a huge excavated hole and no way of returning it back to the way it was. Then massive unemployment in the area. These mining companies rape pillage and plunder every where they go! Absolutely shameful!!
These mines provide 50,000 people with good paying jobs. They dont rape the land, they provide wealth for everyone. The workers at this mine knew it was being shut down in 2020 so the company or they have plans. They wont necessarily be long term unemployed
@@justinroznik1997 Gosh 50000 people in these mines? Yes you could see all of them in this. The place was stuffed with people,you could see them. How could they work in these conditions? How could they have moved? Not to mention all the AUTOMOTIVE MACHINERY doing 99% of the work. More like 500 people at the max! It's not the 18 century anymore Justin! The Native People would disagree with you on one or more points. So would the other communities around the mine. There are ways to return the land back to some sense of order but its too expensive.

@Marie Shines. Do you work at Argyle Diamond Mine? Because I do and that is far from the truth. We are still continuing to find diamond's. If you want facts, the reason Argyle Diamond Mine is closing is because the Land is leased to us by the Traditional land owners. The Aboriginals, and our lease is nearing its end. Meaning we must now return the Land back to the T.O. please get your facts right!
Who the hell cares about pink diamonds. What the people truly want to see and hear is the genuine "PINK LADY" herself, Stockard Channing, who is worth billions above the price of the largest and most perfect diamond, no matter the color. We love you Miss Channing...
On the table of even a small two point diamond you can read the wattage of a lightbulb from a sitting position the light bulb being on the ceiling of course. This being said they have a infinite amount of applications.
I bought mine back in 2011 when the prices were reasonable. Princess cut 0.20ct fancy intense purple-pink VVS1 clarity. Looking at price guides, they have tripled since the mine closed in 2020.😊
G'day UA-camrs. The colour comes from the Ore that we have in our soil to give it that some sunburnt look. Look at Ayers Rock it's the minerals, the red colour that's how we got the name for sunburnt country. Just asked a mate in WA about the mine... Cheers from Australia,
DeBeers in London is a diamond monopoly, which is why they are no longer allowed in the US. They price diamonds so high, and buyers are willing to pay their prices, because the public believes their nonsense about how diamonds never lose their value and are so rare. Try to sell one for what you paid for it. I’d rather have a Nexxus diamond. If I lose it, its not a major loss.
That documentary was about Rio Tinto's Argyle mine diamonds from Australia. The seller was an Australian rep. from the mine. What's DeBeers got to do with it?
I’m gonna say this as a person who make jewelry. The nice the gem the more valued. So nice diamonds like red or blue can fetch a good amount of $. Same goes for the other gems like sapphire and rubies. The dark the blue or darker red are valued more. So don’t say shit about things you don’t know.
Yeah try selling them back to jeweller. You will get the real price. Diamonds are not rare, that's why no govt include them in their reserves. Gold is rare and forever.
@Dennis Durkop I buy a lot of opals and I'll take any Australian opal over any other country. I never look at Ethiopian opals ever, not even a glance. Occasionally I'll get a Mexican opal or two, but they'd have to be really spectacular.
Does nobody realize that these aren’t regular diamonds? Argyle diamonds appreciate better then real estate and are extremely rare compared to a white stone
I am a diamond trader and agree with a great deal of comments BUT diamonds and especially Argyle pinks, when one has them in their hand, they are beautiful. I had a couple million dollar of Argyle stones and sold them.
Yes quite true they are other good precious gems like tanzanite in tanzania in africa and lots of green ganite stones in kenya .l come frm.kenya in east africa
millions for a shiny stone... its crazy how weird humans are. I mean, even if its rare, even if its pretty to look at, how many hours of joy can you get from one? At least gold has inherent value to it. But these...
It is conservatively estimated that the public holds more than 500 million carats of gem diamonds, which is more than fifty times the number of gem diamonds produced by the diamond cartel in any given year. Since the quantity of diamonds needed for engagement rings and other jewelry each year is satisfied by the production from the world's mines, this half-billion-carat supply of diamonds must be prevented from ever being put on the market. The moment a significant portion of the public begins selling diamonds from this inventory, the price of diamonds cannot be sustained. For the diamond invention to survive, the public must be inhibited from ever parting with its diamonds.
I would love to have one pink one yellow diamond ring 2 caret i love the archer cut and it will sit well on my finger, for now I dream of it but girl dream can come true.
I have a whole bunch of these... cut by Asher Diamonds in Thailand... not little things like deBeers pushes on people... we are going to change the World diamond market... because diamonds are really really beautiful and much larger and better from fault lines... rivers and creeks and dry washes follow fault lines... they are the low spots in the landscape... I have a brand new diamond deposit near Safford Arizona.... with diamonds and natural moissanite called carborundum... I have also found that a lot of the quartz crystals people think are magic are not quartz... but everyone knows that diamonds are little tiny things that deBeers sells for exorbitant prices... to young people just starting out in life together .. the get gouged at the jewelry store and go into debt to have the best one.. it doesn't help marriage by starting life together in debt for a fuggin rock... the value is strictly one way... the stone people pay thousands of dollars for won't get more than a hundred dollars at the pawnshop... the actual cash value is about a hundred bucks.... I have a bunch of argyle pink diamonds... they are much larger than the one and 2 carat stones from kimberlite pipes... the deeper they form the better they are... the color in diamonds is not impurities, it's the radioactive isotope of carbon C14 that emits beta particles... and the depth of formation... the deeper they form the closer together the carbon atoms are.... they are all the same size and fit together in close packed cubic/hexagonal arrangement... close packed cubic is the same thing as close packed hexagonal... they are 90° out of phase with each other... people see a large clear crystal and it doesn't look like anything from deBeers... and call it quartz.... I am guilty of this for the last 30 years, finding what I called fancy quartz along the Gila river here in Arizona... I finally tested them... it's not quartz... it's diamond... it is definitely not rare
XD no one knows what creates their hues. .... Except maybe scientists. It was 8 years ago, I suppose in that time period scientists figured it out, but at this point in time even I know that it's bullpucky to say that we don't know exactly what combinations of which elements or their ions promote what colors out of what variety of gem. People have all but plucked the last piece of meat from this carcass. That being said I did really enjoy this particular documentary and the stones that come from Argyle, it's neat to see one of the foreman pick up some random ore and have there be a pretty nice dia payday sitting there.
Elliott Atwell Not my point remotely, diamond is an enigma not because we assign value to it and it is low in availability (even that is being questioned by the way with synthetic processes recently), but rather as it is a bad assignment of value. Even things that seem totally arbitrary to us have economic power vested in them for typically some logical reason- Paper as currency due to its availability and malleability, gold and silver as premiums of this due to their weight, longevity, and fraud proofed physical qualities. Diamond on the other hand, is mimicked by a variety of other materials ranging from cubic zirconium to plastic compounds (In both shine, hardness, and allure); hell, we didn’t even know how to distinguish actual diamond compounds from “fakes” till around 1850, which is when they started to of course gain so much value. It’s beauty unlike other “precious metals” is essentially not unique or rare to itself- rather it is pricey due to a series of elaborate marketing ploys in post colonial Africa. It’s not supply and demand for good looking jewels, rather supply and demand for arbitrary chemical properties that drives the diamond industry. So in a sense you are right, but not how you believed you were right. I perhaps should’ve been clearer in my initial response.
Jonathan Hopkins buy her a good simulated stone... she won’t know the difference & u will b in the good books without breaking the bank.... just don’t ever let her take it to a jeweller for cleaning etc. 😂
Thanks, and no thanks. Radiation and heat does all you need it to. I can get that shade of pink for 900 a carat, retail. Up to 5 carats per stone, only 10k retail. Natural diamonds are over-sold nonsense of a bygone era. This video did not age well. EDIT: I don't deal in diamonds. Period. I'll appraise, evaluate, re-set a diamond. But I won't ever sell one of my own volition. Just bad business, when there's a thousand other gems out there that are less expensive, and more beautiful. Not to mention more ethical.
I saw a program on TV over 20 years ago about diamond 💎 was documentary.do not know how reliable was ,According to them Russian are biggest owner of the most off the diamond in the world and if they relies all there diamond diamond will loos the value and Debir would go Brock the actually show the room for diamond in Russia there is a big use for diamond for space , I am not sure what .
I own 10 of them in a single ring. They are a "pink cognac" color and about 15 points each, surrounding a 3-carat white diamond. I've been offered a lot of money for the ring but generally just laugh.
I am an Australian and pink diamonds are pretty and rare but I get the impression pricing of diamonds of all kinds is opaque.

Jewellery is mostly for pleasure not investment but does not turn to junk like many other consumer goods and can realise some value in a sale.

Value for diamonds is all make believe. A game people play to create bubbles & boundaries.
If you have a diamond at 0.17 carats there's a very small chance it'll go up in price at all unfortunately

I have a bunch of argyle pink diamonds... they are much larger than the one and 2 carat stones from kimberlite pipes... the deeper they form the better they are... the color in diamonds is not impurities, it's the radioactive isotope of carbon C14 that emits beta particles... and the depth of formation... the deeper they form the closer together the carbon atoms are.... they are all the same size and fit together in close packed cubic/hexagonal arrangement... close packed cubic is the same thing as close packed hexagonal... they are 90° out of phase with each other... people see a large clear crystal and it doesn't look like anything from deBeers... and call it quartz.... I am guilty of this for the last 30 years, finding what I called fancy quartz along the Gila river here in Arizona... I finally tested them... it's not quartz... it's diamond... it is definitely not rare
There are many gemstones from all over the world to choose from .pink also.
Argyle Diamonds are actually very common, they just keep the prices high by only selling so many on the market at a time, restricting supply...
They are talking about 7 Carat Pink Diamonds here claiming that 10 carats are "special", while competing in a Market with 14-17 carat Pink Diamonds...
Producermicheal bought 1 red diamond for his left ear for $1.1million
XD no one knows what creates their hues.
.... Except maybe scientists.
It was 8 years ago, I suppose in that time period scientists figured it out, but at this point in time even I know that it's bullpucky to say that we don't know exactly what combinations of which elements or their ions promote what colors out of what variety of gem. People have all but plucked the last piece of meat from this carcass. That being said I did really enjoy this particular documentary and the stones that come from Argyle, it's neat to see one of the foreman pick up some random ore and have there be a pretty nice dia payday sitting there.
weres the rest of the doco ??? it was slowing how they use diamonds for power instead of just showing off
nothing but marketing hype lol you keep them lol
James Anagnos That’s the entirety of the Diamond industry though- literal market hype that defies logic
@@thebossness1440 So the concept of supply and demand for extremely rare natural materials is logic you can't grasp?
Elliott Atwell Not my point remotely, diamond is an enigma not because we assign value to it and it is low in availability (even that is being questioned by the way with synthetic processes recently), but rather as it is a bad assignment of value.
Even things that seem totally arbitrary to us have economic power vested in them for typically some logical reason- Paper as currency due to its availability and malleability, gold and silver as premiums of this due to their weight, longevity, and fraud proofed physical qualities.
Diamond on the other hand, is mimicked by a variety of other materials ranging from cubic zirconium to plastic compounds (In both shine, hardness, and allure); hell, we didn’t even know how to distinguish actual diamond compounds from “fakes” till around 1850, which is when they started to of course gain so much value. It’s beauty unlike other “precious metals” is essentially not unique or rare to itself- rather it is pricey due to a series of elaborate marketing ploys in post colonial Africa.
It’s not supply and demand for good looking jewels, rather supply and demand for arbitrary chemical properties that drives the diamond industry. So in a sense you are right, but not how you believed you were right. I perhaps should’ve been clearer in my initial response.
I agree，and I said that to my girlfriend，she said ，so will you buy it for me or not-------
Jonathan Hopkins buy her a good simulated stone... she won’t know the difference & u will b in the good books without breaking the bank.... just don’t ever let her take it to a jeweller for cleaning etc. 😂
Thanks, and no thanks. Radiation and heat does all you need it to. I can get that shade of pink for 900 a carat, retail. Up to 5 carats per stone, only 10k retail. Natural diamonds are over-sold nonsense of a bygone era.
This video did not age well.
EDIT: I don't deal in diamonds. Period. I'll appraise, evaluate, re-set a diamond. But I won't ever sell one of my own volition. Just bad business, when there's a thousand other gems out there that are less expensive, and more beautiful. Not to mention more ethical.

It seems like they have the same color as the cranberry glass. Which is ionized gold. Maybe it is the same.
The pink is caused by unique imperfections of the Graphene Latice inside each Diamond.

Just think if they put that much effort into world hunger.
Ken Huff one is generating revenue, the other is an expense. Now who or which country is going to fuel that expense?
Money to buy them?!
I own 10 of them in a single ring. They are a "pink cognac" color and about 15 points each, surrounding a 3-carat white diamond. I've been offered a lot of money for the ring but generally just laugh.
@Valdis4418 What is your jewelry experience? Pink diamonds aren't unicorns -- they're just more valuable than other colors.
We are all pink on the inside. Like me.
It's making me crazy. Whose voice is this narrating?
Did Alan passed away 2015?
Aluminium impurities give the color.
