Inspired by natural forms and structures, particularly the curved lines of plants and flowers. Art Nouveau is characterized by its use of a long, sinuous and organic line.Argyle Pink - Of the 20 million carats of rough diamonds that are produced annually at the Rio Tinto owned mine in Western Australia, less than 0.1% is pink. Argyle pink diamonds are rare; in fact they are beyond rare. With just an estimated half a decade of supply remaining in the mine, as time passes the Argyle pink diamond becomes evermore precious.
The Argyle mine supplies approximately 90% of the world's pink diamonds, astonishingly, a whole year's worth of production of stones over half a carat would fit in the palm of your hand. The larger rare violet diamonds would barely fill a teaspoon. Hence, they are highly sought after by investors, collectors, jewelers and their customers, and celebrities. Prized by all who possess them; revered for their unique provenance, intrinsic beauty and extreme rarity.Join NYCJW on Wednesday November 14th at 3:30pm for an exciting presentation about some of the rarest diamonds in the world inside the studio of one of NYC's most prestigious master jewelers.
