Into the Light Art Series 03

Titled Into the Light, this extraordinary final curation of the Art Series featured 52 lots of pink, red and blue diamonds from the Argyle Diamond Mine in Western Australia, together with white and yellow diamonds from the Diavik Diamond Mine.

The highlight of the collection was a constellation of six exquisite diamond sets – known as the Masterpieces – each meticulously curated to showcase the pinnacle of brilliance produced by these two iconic mines. The Masterpieces included two D-colour Diavik diamonds of Flawless clarity – the zenith of natural gemstones.

With bidding closing on 20 October 2025, the results of the Art Series 03 reflect strong global participation with individual, multiple and global bids from jewellers, collectors and diamond connoisseurs. The winning bidders – from Europe, the United States, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia and the Middle East – are representative of the strong ongoing demand for incomparable diamonds across major consumer markets.  Please view Rio Tinto’s press release regarding the results here.

With the Argyle Diamond Mine ceasing operations in November 2020, and the Diavik Diamond Mine forecast to cease production in less than a year, the Art Series 03 represents a fitting tribute to the life of these iconic mines. Exquisite gems, born from the most extraordinary of places: their legacy of beauty, rarity and pure provenance will live on, infinitely, iridescently, into the light.
