Rio Tinto has launched its final Beyond Rare Tender, the third in its Art Series, featuring 52 lots of rare diamonds. The final collection pays homage to the life of the Argyle diamond mine in Australia, which ceased operations in 2020, and the Diavik diamond mine in Canada that will cease production next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The collection, weighing 45.44 carats, is headlined by six \u201cMasterpieces\u201d \u2013 diamond sets carefully selected to showcase the pinnacle of production from these two famed mines \u2013 together with 39 single diamonds and an additional seven curated sets of diamonds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is hard to overstate the importance of this final collection from two extraordinarily beautiful places on earth \u2013 the East Kimberley region of Western Australia and the Northwest Territories of Canada,\u201d said Rio Tinto Diamonds General Manager Sales and Marketing Patrick Coppens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo other mining company in the world has custody of such an exquisite collection of diamond colors, shapes and sizes, and we all pay tribute to the men and women who have worked so hard over many years to bring them to market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Argyle pink, red and violet diamonds have been curated from the final legacy inventory, representing some of the last of their kind: one GIA Fancy Red, 12 GIA Fancy Violet, and 76 GIA Fancy Pink, Purple-Pink and Purplish Pink diamonds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The collection showcases the quality of production from the Diavik mine with two D-color white diamonds of Flawless clarity, including a 5.11-carat Emerald cut and a 3.02-carat Pear shape, each diamond meticulously crafted from the same original rough diamond. The collection also includes a Fancy Vivid Yellow diamond weighing 6.12 carats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The diamonds in the final Art Series, revered for their pure and clean provenance and the kaleidoscope of colors, are expected to be in strong demand by the world\u2019s finest jewelers, collectors and diamond connoisseurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 52 lots will be showcased in Hong Kong, Australia and Antwerp, with bids closing on October 20, 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
