Last month, the Israel Diamond Portal reported that Leibish & Co participated successfully at this year’s Argyle Pink Diamond Tender, winning six lots of rare pink and red diamonds from the Argyle mine in Western Australia.

One of the most outstanding stones purchased by the colored diamonds company was a 1.71-carat pink diamond.

Once Leibish & Co secured the diamond, Chief Buyer Shmulik Polnauer decided to recut the stone to increase its color intensity. With a loss of only three points, the now 1.68-carat radiant-shaped diamond carries a color grade of Fancy Vivid Purplish Pink.

According to Polnauer, “The exceptional size of the 1.68-carat stone with such pure vivid color saturation is in of and itself a rarity. We haven’t seen a vivid Argyle pink diamond over 1.5 carats for a long time in the market. The reddish color flashes and the exiting strawberry touch are unique markers of a real Australian Argyle Pink diamond. “

Polnauer explains that the number 168, recognized in Asian cultures as signifying a “road to prosperity,” prompted the diamond company to name the stone the Leibish Prosperity Pink Diamond.

The Leibish Pink Prosperity Diamond has a GIA clarity grade of I1. Its polish is rated Very Good and its symmetry is graded Good.
