The color of pink diamonds is sometimes compared to the color of happiness. The majority of the world's output of these diamonds comes from the Argyle Mine in Australia and amongst all of the raw stones mined, the probability that one will be a pink diamond is just 0.1%. What's more, the amount of these rare stones mined in one year that are above 0.5 carats could be held in the palm of one's hand. It's said that there is only a teaspoon's worth of the most rare and coveted diamonds with a purplish-pink color.
The Argyle Mine was closed in 2020. The rarity and value of these objects of desire for aficionados and celebrities throughout the world are increasing more and more.
Only 15 companies have been approved to conduct business directly with the Argyle Mine, based on their past achievements and superior business management. Kashikey is one of these authorized companies.
In addition, Kashikey participates in the annual Argyle Pink Diamonds Tender, an auction where a special selection of pink diamonds is assembled. Kashikey has obtained single stones there that could be called their greatest treasure.
In 2012, "Out of the Vault: Pink Diamonds and Royalty" was held at he Orangery at Kensington Palace in London. At this exhibition celebrating Queen Elizabeth's 60th year on the throne, a Kashikey masterpiece was on display in one section of the venue. This piece of shoulder jewelry named "Wisteria" incorporates the delicate Japanese sense of beauty along with traditional European techniques to create a completely new type of jewelry. It was featured on the BBC public broadcasting network, garnering much attention.
