Red diamond, its mystery and rarity make it like a nobleman in diamonds. The formation of red diamonds is still a mystery. GIA researchers who have been studying diamonds for decades have not been able to determine the cause of their redness. There is only one widely spread saying that atomic structural defects are caused by atomic sliding, which eventually produces red. The rarity of the
red diamond is one of the main reasons for its extraordinary preciousness.
The red diamond has very strict requirements on the color concentration and saturation, so the red diamond is only graded on the Fancy Red. As early as 1987, the famous Hancock red diamond was sold at a price of $920,000 per carat. In addition, a 2.26-carat purple-red diamond was successfully sold at $1.15 million per carat in 2007. The Argyle mine produces more red diamonds than any other mine, but as the Argyle mine is about to close by the end of 2020, the rarity of the red diamond will rise again and become more difficult to find.
Red diamonds that can reach 1 carat are rare. This spectacular 1.03 carat diamond displays an unmatched red saturation, and has been graded Fancy Purplish Red by GIA, further escalating its rarity beyond that of other pink diamonds. To match its exceptional beauty and rarity, this 1.03 carat Argyle diamond is set with two D color Internally Flawless pear-shaped diamonds in this necklace, weighing 2.66 and 10.02 carats respectively – two exceedingly beautiful and precious collector’s gemstones in their own right. The girdle of this Argyle pink diamond has been inscribed with a unique lot number 4441 that is only visible under magnification. It is also issued with an Argyle Pink Diamonds Gem Identification and Authenticity Document, to ensure that the gem has always been in the care of Argyle Pink Diamonds and its trusted trade partners.
