Profile

Argyle Diamonds is the world's largest supplier of diamonds, producing approximately 30 million carats each year from its operations in the East Kimberley region, in the remote north of Western Australia. The company's production accounts for approximately one-quarter of the world's natural diamond production. Argyle employs approximately 800 employees with the majority working at the mine site.

The diamonds produced by Argyle are found in a range of colours including white, champagne and pink. Argyle is the world's primary source of rare pink diamonds, which have become the company's signature stone. The finest pink stones are retained by the company in Perth, where they are cut and polished in Argyle's own factory and sold by international tender.

Argyle commenced mining its main ore body in 1985, and has since produced more than 600 million carats of diamonds, ranging from gem quality to near gem and industrial diamonds. More than 90% of Argyle's diamonds are destined for the jewellery industry. More >
