The centrepiece of the Stephen Andrew Collection, The Stephen Andrew Purple: To say this stone is rare would be an extreme understatement. Representing one of the most extraordinary and seldom ever seen colours produced from the historic Argyle Mine, this remarkable diamond stands among the rarest natural purple diamonds available on the market today: a true Vivid Purple Diamond.
Weighing 0.50 carats, exactly at the important ½ carat investment threshold, with completely eye-clean SI1 clarity, arguably presenting closer to a VS2 appearance. Cut in a beautifully proportioned Mixed-Radiant shape with top make, this phenomenal diamond displays an electrifying fuchsia-purple colour unlike virtually anything seen in natural diamonds, graded by GIA as Fancy Vivid Pinkish Purple, a colour that truly has to be seen to be believed.
GIA and Argyle Mine certified with laser inscription, stones of this calibre and colour saturation are exceptionally rare, particularly from the now-closed Argyle Mine, the world’s most important source of rare pink and purple diamonds. With no new production ever to emerge from Argyle again, diamonds of this significance are destined to remain among the rarest and most important investment gemstones in existence.
