Unlike theirs, the stones\u2019 romance never faded \u2014 and more than a few serious collectors have been willing to pay whatever it takes to own one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In recent years, the demand for large, high-quality pink diamonds has reached fever pitch: In 2013 and 2017, the 24.78-carat Graff Pink and 59.6-carat Pink Star caused a frenzy when they came up at auction, selling for $83 million and $71.2 million, respectively. In 2018, the 19-carat Winston Pink Legacy set a per-carat record when the famed New York jeweler acquired it for more than $50 million at Christie\u2019s Geneva. And last October, a 10.64-carat pink diamond ring went for $19.9 million at Sotheby\u2019s Hong Kong. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These \u201chot pinks\u201d and their much smaller but still quite valuable little sisters are on fire for a reason: They account for just 0.03 percent of annual global diamond production, so very few exist. \u201cPink is one of the rarest diamond colors in the world,\u201d says Lee Josephson, CEO of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/dealers\/diamonds-by-raymond-lee\/shop\/jewelry\/\">Diamonds by Raymond Lee.<\/a> \u201cMoreover, the natural cause of pink diamonds is still something of a mystery, so this enhances their allure.\u201d<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/brooches\/brooches\/gia-certified-light-pink-white-marquise-shape-diamond-18-karat-white-gold-brooch\/id-j_6075502\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"395\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/6075502_master.jpg\" alt=\"GIA Certified Light Pink White Marquise Shape Diamond 18 Karat White Gold Brooch\" class=\"wp-image-338904\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/6075502_master.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/6075502_master-681x350.jpg 681w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/6075502_master-120x62.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/brooches\/brooches\/gia-certified-light-pink-white-marquise-shape-diamond-18-karat-white-gold-brooch\/id-j_6075502\/\">GIA-certified marquise-shape light pink diamond brooch, 2017<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s true that no one, not even top gemologists, knows what creates the stones\u2019 rosy (and sometimes lavender, raspberry or blush) hue. As with all diamonds, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/4-cs-grading-diamonds\/\">four Cs<\/a> determine how pinks are priced, with special attention paid to the color. This should be described according to the Gemological Institute of America (GIA)\u2019s colored-diamond guidelines, using the official terms for the main and secondary (or undertone) colors and their intensity (\u201cFaint,\u201d \u201cFancy\u201d \u201cFancy Intense,\u201d or \u201cFancy Vivid\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The more saturated and evenly distributed the color, the more valuable the stone. A medium pink stone \u2014 the shade of bubblegum, cotton candy or cherry blossoms \u2014 is generally considered the most desirable. The cut can affect the quality of the gem. \u201cBecause of their faceting, emerald cuts do not usually retain color well,\u201d explains Roman Malakov, owner of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/roman-malakov\/jewelry\/\">Roman Malakov Jewelry<\/a>. So, a step-cut stone that maintains its rosy hue, like the one in the ring below, is &#8220;a rare find,\u201d he notes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/rings\/engagement-rings\/gia-certified-fancy-intense-pink-diamond-cluster-engagement-ring\/id-j_4834033\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/4834033_master.jpg\" alt=\"GIA Certified Fancy Intense Pink Diamond Cluster Engagement Ring\" class=\"wp-image-338887\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/4834033_master.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/4834033_master-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/4834033_master-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/4834033_master-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/4834033_master-216x216.jpg 216w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/rings\/engagement-rings\/gia-certified-fancy-intense-pink-diamond-cluster-engagement-ring\/id-j_4834033\/\">GIA-certified Fancy Intense pink-diamond-cluster engagement ring, 2018<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news: There\u2019s plenty of pink diamond jewelry available that doesn\u2019t cost millions of dollars per carat. The bad news: The supply will dwindle with the closure, later this year, of Rio Tinto&#8217;s Argyle mine, in Western Australia, which produces 90 percent of the world\u2019s pink diamond supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">[ad valentines-day-2020-1]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back in 2012, noted jewelry author and historian Vivienne Becker told the Australian Associated Press, &#8220;In another decade the Argyle Pink Diamond will emerge as the new Faberg\u00e9 egg, the thing jewelry myths are made of.\u201d We&#8217;re almost there. So, if you can find an Argyle stone, or jewelry made with Argyles, even the lightest-pink pav\u00e9, buy it while you still can. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/necklaces\/multi-strand-necklaces\/multi-shape-pink-white-diamond-cluster-necklace\/id-j_7571932\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/A30312698_4_master.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-338893\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/A30312698_4_master.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/A30312698_4_master-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/A30312698_4_master-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/A30312698_4_master-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/A30312698_4_master-216x216.jpg 216w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/necklaces\/multi-strand-necklaces\/multi-shape-pink-white-diamond-cluster-necklace\/id-j_7571932\/\">Multi-shape pink-and-white-diamond-cluster necklace, 2010s<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Argyle mine has been in operation only since the early 1980s, so older pink diamond jewelry may be composed of modern stones in antique or vintage settings; if the stones are older, they likely hail from mines in South Africa or Brazil.
