Diamond jewelry - History full of fascination

The biggest source of pink diamonds is Australian Argyle Diamond Mine that produces almost 90% of total pink diamonds in the world.

Two most famous pink diamonds in the world are Darya-I-Nur and Steinmetz Pink.

Darya-I-Nur (meaning "Sea of light") is the largest pink diamond of all time weighing an estimated 182 carats (36 g). It has very rare pale pink color and is currently the priceless part of the Iranian Crown Jewels. Some diamond experts believe that Darya-I-Nur was originally part of the much bigger pink diamond but this still hasn't been proved.
