Firestone Diamond joins a small group of master craftsmen known as Authorized Partners and Select Ateliers who have been appointed to work with Rio Tinto’s Argyle pink diamonds.
According to Josephine Archer, Business Manager for Argyle Pink Diamonds, “We extend a very warm welcome to Firestone Diamond as our partner in India. [Chairman] Nirav Modi’s commitment to beautiful design and quality craftsmanship is a perfect fit with the rarity, beauty and luxury of Argyle pink diamonds.”
Firestone is a third generation diamond company specializing in the design and manufacture of one-of-a-kind heirloom jewelry pieces. Firestone has previously acquired rare pink and blue diamonds from the Argyle mine, showcasing them in beautiful jewelry pieces. Modi is a jewelry designer, manufacturer and luxury retailer.
Most recently, the sale of Nirav Modi’s $ 3.56 million Golconda Lotus Necklace launched him into the world of jewelry as an artistic form. The necklace is set with 34 pink diamonds from Argyle, linked by special diamond chains.
According to Modi, “The time is right for India to take its place in the world of rare colored diamonds. This exclusive partnership provides an ideal opportunity to enhance the demand for rare pink diamonds in India. We look forward to more successful collaborations with Argyle Pink Diamonds.”
