As part of the Argyle Heritage Collection, the piece has the identical Argyle Lotus ring. It features 3.34 carats of fancy pink diamonds paired with 3.8 carats of white diamonds. Farren-Price created the piece in collaboration with renowned diamond expert Glajz.
J Farren-Price director Julian Farren-Price also told Jeweller. “This collection is certainly the most significant single acquisition of Argyle's finest pink diamonds to date”
Pink diamonds remain the focus of attention for the world's leading jewellery designers.
But Tiffany & Co. added fuel to the fire in January. When the company confirmed the purchase of a collection of Australian fancy colored diamonds.
Farren-Price added. “This exceptional collection of rare Argyle pink diamonds is a dream come true. We are also very excited to honour the world's most iconic pink diamonds. Each creation in the Argyle Heritage collection will represent the ultimate in rarity and collectibility.”
“We appreciate that each Argyle pink diamond is a beautiful wonder of nature. It is with great pride that we continue to turn these billion-year-old gemstones into jewelry. Jewelry that recreates this beauty for future generations.”
They created the ring as part of Rio Tinto's Argyle Pink Diamonds Icon Partner program. In the program are jewelers with a reputation for their unique and charming vision. It also celebrates the world's most precious diamonds through excellence in craftsmanship and design.
“So we are thrilled with this creative collaboration and The Argyle Lotus ring is the perfect piece to debut this collection of heritage masterpieces. It will speak to the beauty and precious provenance of these extraordinary pieces of jewellery.” Led by Patrick Coppens, general manager of sales and marketing at Rio Tinto.
Further additions to the collection will be revealed by Farren-Price in the coming months.
The Argyle diamond mine in Washington was the source of the highest quality pink diamonds in the world and closed in November 2020.
