“Management and shareholders have been trying hard to establish a financial and sound business and they have spent considerable resources to find a sustainable model for the future. However, this has appeared not to be possible,” the statement read.
New collection of prestigious Argyle pink diamonds released in Australia Posted February 23, 2021 | By Arabella Roden ⢠Editor John Glajz, a Singapore-based Argyle Pink Diamond Authorised partner and regional ambassador for the Natural Color Diamond Association (NCDIA), has created a second limited-edition curated collection of 1,000 Argyle pink diamonds, following the success of the original collection in 2017.
Like the 2017 collection, the 2021 stones will each be independently certified by the International Gemological Institute (IGI) and come with reports and security seals to prove their authenticity.
Glajz said, “Having seen the production volumes of these rare diamonds dwindle and their prices increase over a 25-year period, I wanted to create a collection that was independently graded in accordance to international gemmological standards and also independently security-sealed in order to make the diamonds attainable for the broader market.”
