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.
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'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...
G'day TH-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,
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.

@@damonturnbull5903 I didnt say 50,000 people work on one mine you dumb shit. Look up the Rio Tinto group wich owns this mine and countless others.

If youd get off your ass bitching about ethics and how were "ruining the planet" you can actually begin to realize the value of these industries. Maybe get your eyes off of what the pc press is telling you and actually open your eyes to the real world
@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!
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.
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.
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...
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.😊
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........
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.
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).
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?
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.
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.
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’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.
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.
@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.
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.
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
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
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.
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 .
It is incorrect to say that the cause of the pink colour is not known. “The colour is caused by a distortion in the diamond's crystal lattice, created by intense heat and great pressure from all directions (non-isotropic stress) after the stone's formation in the earth.”
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...
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
11m30.... you see trough other stones and a diamond you can't ..... of course not.... because it's such an ordinary stone, so common it would be worth nothing if not for the way those stones are cut..... if not for the cutting, it looks worse than glass while other crystals shine their colors bright some even without the need to be cut, shiny straight out of the mud or rock..... of course if half of the sentences in this clip are about how mysterious, about you can't resist them, you got to have it, it is so precious, it is the most unique.... and i pass some plenty more like that.... well in the end i know why women seem to like diamonds, they are told to like them... because they are unique, like the millions with that same cut.... on purpose man made diamonds are made more expensive, in order to keep the flow of these compressed pencil tips going..... while its so simple we can even make them, out of one element...... to close down this last one "they are so rare" ..... ok well what abou this : In 2005, the worldwide production volume of rough diamonds stood at approximately 177 million carats in total. More than a decade later, in 2018, the production stood at 147 million carats. Most rough diamonds are used for industrial purposes. Approximately 46 percent of the world’s rough diamonds were produced for the industry and 19 percent were produced into gem-quality polished stones. The value of diamonds increases almost exponentially as it travels from the mine to the final endpoint or market. ..... So rare they use them on saw blades .......
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 still don't see the thrill in diamonds--one can get just as pretty a stone in cubic zirconia, if not prettier. Now, couture-grade jewelry SETTINGS, I get. One pays for the skill, and the skill is AMAZING. I just don't get why 'rare' is worth more than 'pretty'.
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.
:O
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
@@Gausdave213 what about a white diamond 0.25 carat VVS1 E colour excellent cut excellent polish excellent and no fluorescent

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...
It is incorrect to say that the cause of the pink colour is not known. “The colour is caused by a distortion in the diamond's crystal lattice, created by intense heat and great pressure from all directions (non-isotropic stress) after the stone's formation in the earth.”
If I had the money to buy any of those stones I would use it for housing and food for our homeless population.
The pink panther Diamonds!
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...
Can I buy from you at US$1000 per carat?

Wow! are those diamonds? It's a little exciting to see them in their natural state
They missed the entire cutting proces! A lot could go wrong there. It’s an art on its own..

my diamond! your diamond! pink diamond!
Diamonds also form in fault lines.. kimberlite pipes are rare... diamonds are not
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
Producermicheal bought 1 red diamond for his left ear for $1.1million

I would love to be a sorter/grader.
We have a PINK DIAMOND bracelet with 418 cwt... Guess what it's worth?

Theu she said 2 days or 2 hours?
11m30.... you see trough other stones and a diamond you can't ..... of course not.... because it's such an ordinary stone, so common it would be worth nothing if not for the way those stones are cut..... if not for the cutting, it looks worse than glass while other crystals shine their colors bright some even without the need to be cut, shiny straight out of the mud or rock..... of course if half of the sentences in this clip are about how mysterious, about you can't resist them, you got to have it, it is so precious, it is the most unique.... and i pass some plenty more like that.... well in the end i know why women seem to like diamonds, they are told to like them... because they are unique, like the millions with that same cut.... on purpose man made diamonds are made more expensive, in order to keep the flow of these compressed pencil tips going..... while its so simple we can even make them, out of one element...... to close down this last one "they are so rare" ..... ok well what abou this : In 2005, the worldwide production volume of rough diamonds stood at approximately 177 million carats in total. More than a decade later, in 2018, the production stood at 147 million carats. Most rough diamonds are used for industrial purposes. Approximately 46 percent of the world’s rough diamonds were produced for the industry and 19 percent were produced into gem-quality polished stones. The value of diamonds increases almost exponentially as it travels from the mine to the final endpoint or market. ..... So rare they use them on saw blades .......
there's so many other gemstones that are much more beautiful than diamonds. I think the collection of diamonds is foolishness
Right? Forget diamonds, give me alexandrite!!
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.
I bet Fire Agate is more precious than diamonds.
Wouldn't matter if they were or weren't, fire agates are so beautiful! Beautiful choice in stones 😊
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.
I still don't see the thrill in diamonds--one can get just as pretty a stone in cubic zirconia, if not prettier.
Now, couture-grade jewelry SETTINGS, I get. One pays for the skill, and the skill is AMAZING.
I just don't get why 'rare' is worth more than 'pretty'.
I m diamond expect from India so.. If this company interested work with me.. I'm ready.. Thank you
