For over two decades, Kimberley Fine Diamonds has been a passionate partner in

bringing Argyle diamonds from the remote Kimberley to the world stage.

The unique and beautiful designs in the following pages showcase Frauke’s design talents

which are imbued with the natural beauty of this extraordinary place on earth.

Kimberley Fine Diamonds is one of less than thirty Select Atelier™ jewellers internationally,

a trusted retail partner of Argyle Pink Diamonds. Indeed, Frauke is one of the few people

with the enduring history and close association with the Argyle mine, and has been invited

to view and sometimes acquired the rarest of diamonds from our mine. This catalogue is

a celebration of Argyle diamonds from their warm champagne hues to their rare and

vivid pinks and it is also a testament to Frauke’s vivacity and spirit. We extend our sincere

thanks to her for being our jewel in the Kimberley.

CaratAs with all precious stones, the weight of a diamond is expressedin carats. The word carat originated in a natural unit of weight: the seeds of the carob tree. Diamonds were traditionally weighedagainst these seeds until the system was standardised and onecarat was fixed at 0.2 grams (one fifth of a gram). One carat is divided into 100 “points” so that a diamond of 25 points isdescribed as quarter of a carat or 0.25 carats.

ClarityAlmost all diamonds contain minute traces of non-crystallized carbonor small non-diamond crystals. Most are not discernible to the nakedeye and require magnification to become apparent. Called inclusions,they are nature’s finger print and make every diamond quiteunique. However, the fewer there are, the rarer the stone will be.

The CutOf all the 4C’s, cut is the one most directly influenced by man. The precision and delicacy with which your diamond is cut will dramatically influence its fire and sparkle, for it is the polisher’sskill that releases its beauty.

DIAMOND QUAL ITY & VALUE

Diamonds, formed billions of years ago are judged by four distinctfactors that combine in a number of ways to arrive at its value.These are called the 4 C’s - Colour, Carat, Cut, and Clarity.

ColourArgyle produce more natural coloured diamonds than all othersources combined. Argyle pink diamonds are rare; beyond rare. In fact, less than one tenth of 1% of Argyle’s diamond productionis pink. With just an estimated decade of supply remaining in themine, as time passes the Argyle pink diamonds become evermoreprecious. A pink diamond is substantially more valuable than itswhite diamond equivalent. Argyle supplies approximately ninetypercent of the world’s pink diamonds and is the only reliablesource of intense pink diamonds — a whole year’s worth of productionof stones over half a carat would fit into the palm of your hand.
