Exceptionally Rare. Intensely Coveted.
Among the rarest diamonds ever discovered, Argyle Blue Violet Diamonds are even more elusive than their pink counterparts. It is estimated that for every 25 million carats of diamonds mined at Argyle, only one blue diamond was recovered.

The process
What gives blue diamonds their colour?
The striking blue colour in natural blue diamonds is caused by the presence of boron within the diamond’s crystal structure. This trace element absorbs red light, allowing blue tones to be reflected, with varying concentrations influencing colour intensity.
Blue-grey diamonds, widely produced by the Argyle Diamond Mine, derive their colour from a combination of boron (producing blue tones) and subtle crystal lattice irregularities or hydrogen presence (creating soft grey undertones), resulting in their distinctive muted hue.
Exceptionally rare
Argyle blue violet diamonds
Fewer than 42 Argyle Blue Violet diamonds were ever presented across more than three decades of Argyle Pink Diamond Tenders. Their rarity is so profound that while a year’s production of pink diamonds could fit in the palm of a hand, the blue violet diamonds would fill only a teaspoon.
Natural blue diamonds are among the most prized gemstones in the world, and the distinctive blue‑violet hues from Argyle are unlike any other known source.
