The Argyle Reserve
The mine is closed.
The value isn't.
The Argyle mine closed in 2020, the source of more than nine in ten of the world's pink diamonds. We help Australians acquire certified stones the right way, with full provenance and SMSF-ready structuring.
The Kimberley
The ground that made them will never give up another.
Argyle sat in one of the most remote corners of Australia. In 2020 it closed for good, and no comparable source has been found anywhere on earth.
Why finite means valuable
Economists have a phrase for it: terminal scarcity. Supply can only fall from here, never grow. Set the certified tier against the mine's whole lifetime output and you see how little of it there ever was.

A scarce asset you can hold
The independent FCRF pink diamond index has risen around 389% since 2005. Rio Tinto reports that Argyle pink diamonds sold at its annual Tender appreciated over 500% in two decades, outperforming all major equity markets as supply ended in 2020.

How the colour is graded
