How would you perceive a Rolex imitation crafted with cheap components that seem nearly identical to the naked eye? Would you consider it an authentic Rolex?
Imagine owning a digitally recreated masterpiece by Picasso or da Vinci, meticulously designed to mimic the original to the smallest detail. How would you feel about such a creation?
Diamonds, symbols of love and commitment, can sometimes be linked to fleeting greed. The diamond trading industry primarily operates behind closed doors, creating uncertainty regarding their actual value, and the emergence of lab-grown diamonds in the market has further intensified these concerns.
At Rosendorff, all our diamonds are natural and unique, and we pride ourselves on our commitment to transparency. We believe in providing our customers with the highest quality of genuine diamonds, meticulously sourced and certified. Our dedication and expertise in natural diamonds have set us apart from many other jewellers for almost six decades.
Most buyers prefer naturally formed diamonds over substitutes that imitate the real thing, as these natural stones hold value. While consumers may not actively seek lab-created diamonds (LCDs), retailers may find it more lucrative to earn a significant profit margin on LCDs rather than a modest per cent on natural, mined diamonds. For example, a 1-carat lab-grown diamond might be sold for $450-$800 AUD, with an engagement ring priced at approximately $4,500, listed at $9,500 AUD for a natural diamond. However, one can't help but wonder if these sellers will continue to offer returns or exchanges for genuine diamonds. It is worth noting that lab-created diamonds typically do not retain their resale value as effectively as their natural counterparts.
At Rosendorff, all diamond purchases go through various criteria of authenticity and quality from the point of production, setting the diamonds in stunning jewellery pieces or selling them single stone for investment purposes. No matter what you choose to call these lab-created diamonds, at Rosendorff, we do not deal in imitations; we only offer high-quality authentic diamonds, which is the guarantee we provide, and we take great pride in knowing the quality is given to our customers.

]]>An internally flawless 11.15 carat vivid pink diamond sold at auction in Hong Kong for HK$453.2 million, over AUD $77 million on Friday 7th October 2022. This pink stone originated from the Williamson Diamond Mine located in Tanzania, Africa; popularly known as the first substantial diamond mine opened outside of South Africa.
This gorgeous stone is the second largest pink diamond to become available to the public through auction sold by Sotheby’s. The Williamson Pink Star diamond is one of only two flawless pink diamonds weighing over 10 carats.
The precious diamond was anticipated to sell for AUD$32 million but actually doubled it's estimated sale value, with the winning bid coming from an undisclosed buyer located in Boca Raton, Florida USA. The 20 minute aution, with a final sale price of AUD$77 million, making this purchase a record-breaking auction result, achieving a per carat price of over AUD$7.8 million. The previous world record was held from a 2018 auction of a 18.96 carat Winston Pink Legacy, of which reached a per carat price of AUD$4.2 million.
In 2017, Sotheby's sold another spectacular piece for an astounding AUD$20 million, weighing in at 59.6 carats with an oval mixed cut, it currently still holds the world record of any diamond sold. Mr Wenhao Yu, the chariman of Sorheby Asia expresses that “it’s rare to have a vivid pink color, it’s rarer when it’s over 10 carats and internally flawless”.
In late 2021, a blush-toned diamond was discovered as an incredible 32.32 carat rough diamond, before being expertly cut, shaped and polished into its current cushion shape. Diacore, whom specialises in handling rare diamonds, purchased the stone in its rough form for AUD$20 million and fashioned and mounted the stone in to an 18k gold ring surrounded by traditional brilliant-cut and trapeze-cut diamonds. Mr Wenhao Yu gave credit to Diacore’s craftsmanship, stating that “not every rough can yield a diamond of this high quality, it takes a great amount of art and creativity to fashion it into a gorgeous stone with so many exceptional qualities” he quotes.
The Williamson’s diamond mine is responsible for unearthing 23.6 carat pink diamond that was crafted by Cartier into a brooch, owned by the late Queen Elizabeth II.
Pink diamonds are amongst the rarest stone in the world. Originating mostly from Australia in the now closed Argyle Diamond Mine in Western Australia, pink diamonds are found in various shades and depths of pink.
Rosendorff Diamonds are crafted with exquisite care from some of the highest quality diamonds in the world, it represents hours of expert craftsmanship and commitment, culminating in a diamond that’s all the more special because it’s yours. View our Eminence Pink collection!
]]>The unique diamonds also range in cut and lustre/fire and are popular for uses in jewellery pieces such as rings, earrings & necklaces and pendants.
]]>Argyle Pink Diamonds are the epitome of luxury in the diamond industry, being regarded as the world’s rarest and most sought after diamond.
Sourced from the East Kimberley region of Western Australia via the now closed Rio Tinto Argyle Mine, Argyle Pink Diamonds are incredibly valuable and exceptionally rare. Pink diamonds are naturally pink in colour, with their striking hue positioning the gem as a unique and distinctive product of the Australian outback.
The intensity of colour of the diamonds vary between each find. Most pink diamonds vary between a 1 and 9 on the Argyle scale, with the lower grade numbers representing a more intense and saturated colour, therefore, being more valuable. There is a significant breadth of varying tones and hues that can be admired within the diamonds that indicate their rarity: very light Pure Pinks (P) with a colour scale from 1P to 9P; Purplish Pinks (PP) ranging from 1PP to 9PP; and Pink Rose (PR) that vary between 1PR and 9PR that express an orange overtone.
This is a significant factor in determining the value of a pink diamonds and indicates how pure and clean the diamond is. Argyle Pink Diamonds can be separated into three different categories based on the purity of the diamond.
VS1 - Very Slightly Included | The best and rarest with no to minimal imperfections that are barely even visible under a microscope. |
SI1 - Slightly Included | The second classification which is considered to be acceptable for 80% of buyers. |
I2 & I3 - Included | The lowest quality with imperfections clearly visible even to the naked eye. |
A diamond that has a 1P/1PP colour and an if clarity would be the rarest and most valuable combination that can be found within pink diamonds unless the gem is a red tone, which would present as even more valuable than a pink.
In contrast, a diamond with a 9PR colour and an I1 clarity would be a cheaper and less rare combination. It is important to consider these details of pink diamonds when looking to make a purchase, as these are your key indicators as to its rarity and therefore, its value.
The unique diamonds also range in cut and lustre/fire and are popular for uses in jewellery pieces such as rings, earrings & necklaces and pendants.

Peridot has always been associated with light - the Egyptians called it the “gem of the sun.” Some believed that it protected its owner from “terrors of the night,” especially when it was set in gold, while other hung the gems on donkey hair and tied them around their left arms to ward off evil spirits. This August birthstone was valued in many ancient and medieval cultures. It appeared in priests’ jewellery as early as the second century BCE and later in the chalices and churches of medieval Europe.
In 2006, NASA’s Explorer spacecraft, "Stardust", embarked on a mission to gather samples from near the sun. These particles were analysed upon its return and amazingly they included gem-quality peridot believed to be as old as our solar system, which was formed some 4.5 billion years ago!
Early records indicate that the ancient Egyptians first mined a beautiful green gem on an island in the Red Sea called Topazios (now known as St. John’s Island or Zabargad). Legend has it that the island was infested with snakes, making mining unpleasant until a vigorous pharaoh drove them into the sea. From the earliest times, people confused this stone with other gems, such as Topaz. But now we know it forms from the mineral Olivine with colours ranging from yellowish green to greenish yellow. The most favoured colour is a richly saturated pure "grass green" without any hints of yellow or brown.
The word peridot comes from the Arabic “faridat” which means “gem.” Most peridot formed deep inside the Earth and travelled to the surface by volcanoes, and some also came to earth in meteorites! But this extra-terrestrial peridot is extremely rare, and not likely to be seen in a retail jewellery store.
Some historians believe that Cleopatra’s famous emerald collection might actually have been peridot, and people in medieval times continued to confuse peridot with emerald. For centuries, it was believed the fabulous 200ct gems adorning the shrine of the Three Holy Kings in Germany’s Cologne Cathedral were emeralds... They are, in fact, peridots.
The largest cut peridot in the world weighs a whopping 311 carats and is on display at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C. The mixed cushion shape stone originated from the Zabargad Island in Egypt. Another impressive peridot is part of Russia’s Diamond Fund - a unique collection of gems, jewellery and specimens on display in the Kremlin Armoury. The yellowish-green stone weighs 192.75 carats and once belonged to the Russian Royal Family.
Olivine's can range in Mohs Hardness from 6.5 to 7. Peridots can approach quartz gems in hardness, however, they are still sensitive to scratching and are susceptible to stress fractures.
Avoid settings that place stress on peridots and clean them only with a soft brush, mild detergent, and warm water. Don't let your jewellery stay wet for long periods of time: to dry use a clean dry cloth and dab. Peridots also have some sensitivity to acids, even those found in perspiration - try not to sweat in your jewellery. Peridot jewellery should be worn against the skin only occasionally, it is usually best practice to bezel it in yellow gold to avoid long periods of skin-to-gem contact.

With care and maintenance, you precious Rosendorff piece will be loved and cherished from generation to generation.
Treat your jewellery with care: undertaking housework, gardening, sport, and other activities while wearing your jewellery may cause stones to become dislodged from their settings and create dents in gold or platinum.
Gemstones are not as strong as diamonds, so extra care is required to avoid scratches, chips, and abrasions.
Ensure any moisturiser and perfume is applied before you put on pearl jewellery. Ensure your pearl jewellery does no get wet, or come in contact with abrasive chemicals to avoid damaging the pearl or cause it to be dislodged from its setting.
Hollow bracelets and necklets should be worn with extra care as excessive force or pressure on the metal may cause irreparable damage.
Diamond and most gemstone jewellery can easily be cleaned at home using a solution of warm water and a dash of dishwashing liquid. After soaking your diamond jewellery, gently brush the settings with a soft toothbrush to remove any dirt. Rinse in cold water and pat dry with a clean, lint-free cloth.
Never clean your jewellery in boiling water.
Avoid using soaps, toothpaste, and harsh or abrasive chemicals on your jewellery, as they may cause damage, particular to pearls and gemstones.
Pearl & Opal jewellery can be cleaned at home using a soft, damp cloth. Ensure that the cloth is damp and not wet. Your jewellery should be completely dry before storing it.
Rosendorff has an onsite boutique workshop where our master-craftsmen can provide maintenance and repairs on your Rosendorff jewellery for a nominal fee.
Depending on how your jewellery is worn, Rosendorff recommends that your jewellery is cleaned and polished approximately once a year to revitalise its beauty and check the security of your settings.
Rings with claw settings are advised to be re-tipped every 5-8 years to ensure the security of your stones in their settings. This time frame may vary depending on how the ring is worn, so we advise that our jewellery is checked regularly by our experienced Rosendorff service team.
We highly recommend that your precious Rosendorff jewellery is only repaired and maintained at Rosendorff, as other jewellers may lack the experience and expertise in dealing with our jewellery. Rosendorff take no responsibility for jewellery that is altered, repaired, or cleaned by a third party.

Necklets and chains should be stored flat to avoid kinks and knots.
Rosendorff specialise in the delicate art of micro-setting; a technique of diamond setting accomplished only by the world's most skilled diamond setters.
The technique involves small diamonds being set under intense magnification to achieve an exquisite, fine finish.
Settings such as pave, micro-pave, and micro-claw are delicate and will need to be worn with extra care. Just like a fine silk dress pulling when caught on another surface, a stone may become dislodged depending on how the dislodged diamonds under 0.08 points within two years of your purchase, providing the ring has no obvious signs of heavy wear-and-tear or damage.
Micro-set diamonds should never be cleaned in an ultra-sonic machine as the ultra-sonic waves in the water may cause diamonds to loosen or become dislodged. We highly recommend that you only have Rosendorff clean and maintain your jewellery, as other jewellers do not have the expertise nor experience in working with this intricate style of setting.
Your Rosendorff jewellery has been crafted to be cherished beyond a lifetime, however in the unfortunate event that your jewellery is lost, stolen, or accidentally damaged, we highly recommend that you have your jewellery covered by insurance.

As your jewellery is likely to increase in its replacement value, we recommend that your valuation is updated every two years with Rosendorff can assist you with for a nominal fee.
Although diamonds are the hardest substance known to man, they can be sensitive upon impact and pressure during daily wear. A cut and polished diamond, like any gemstone, may be subject to accidental or negligent damage is impacted. Rosendorff highly recommends that you include 'accidental damage' to your insurance policy for your peace of mind.

Referred to as the king of precious stones, ruby is the red variety of the mineral corundum (what sapphires are formed from). The name comes from the Latin "ruber", meaning red. Red is the colour of our most intense emotions - love, anger, passion, and fury. It's often associated with objects of power and desire; like fast cars and red roses.
Early cultures treasured rubies for their similarity to the redness of the blood that flowed through their veins, and believed that rubies held the power of life. Ruby retained its importance with the birth of the western world and became one of the most sought-after gems of European royalty and the upper class. Many medieval Europeans wore rubies to guarantee health, wealth, wisdom, and success in love.
The most famous ruby jewellery is a necklace designed by Cartier. Mike Todd gifted the ruby and diamond necklace to his gorgeous wife and actress, Elizabeth Taylor. In December 2011, Taylor’s necklace was auctioned for $115,932,000USD. It became the most valuable jewellery auction in history, with the proceeds going to charity.
The colour of a ruby is caused by traces of chromium, with the colour being the most significant factor affecting a ruby's colour value. Rubies are available in hues ranging from an orangey-red to a purplish-red and in tones of medium to dark. Fine quality rubies are pure, vibrant red to slightly purplish-red, but the most sought-after colour by collectors worldwide is a deep red sometimes with a hint of purple, called "pigeon's blood" in the trade.
Inclusion-free rubies are practically non-existent so the value caries with how visible the inclusions are. Inclusions can also impact a ruby's durability, especially if there is a surface-reaching fracture. Typical clarity characteristics include thin mineral inclusions called needles. Rutile needles, or "silk", can often contribute positively to a gem's appearance.
Corundum may show a phenomenon called asterism. This star effect usually appears as a six-ray star pattern across a cabochon-cut gem's curved surface.
The most famous ruby mines are in Myanmar (formally known as Burma) but rubies can also be found in Vietnam, Mozambique, Madagascar, Kenya, Tajikistan, Thailand, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.
Heat treatment is often used to improve the colour or clarity of a ruby. Heat can also cause some fractures to 'heal' in certain conditions. Lower quality material may have surface-reaching fractures filled with a glass to decrease their visibility and make the gem more transparent.
Warm, soapy water is always safe. Ultrasonic and steam cleaners are usually safe for untreated, heat-treated and lattice diffusion treated stones. Fracture-filled, cavity-filled or dyed material should ONLY be cleaned with a damp cloth. Various chemicals, even mild substances like lemon juice, can cause change in some glass-filled rubies.

This illustration from the 1817 expedition report of Frederic Cailliaud shows the ancient emerald mining area near Wade Sikait in Egypt, which the Romans referred to as “Mons Smaragdus” (Emerald mountains).
Once the symbol of immortality and faith, fine emeralds have long been treasured for their exquisite colour and beauty. The first historical account of emeralds dates them to ancient Egypt, where they were mined near the Red Sea. These so-called “Cleopatra’s mines” were being worked as early as 3500 BC. Most, if not all emeralds found in ancient jewellery were from these Egyptian mines. Today, emeralds are mined in several countries, including Colombia, Brazil, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Afghanistan, Russia, India, and Pakistan.
Transparent emeralds are traditionally fashioned in the step-cut style. The corners are truncated with facets to protect them from chipping, giving the stones an octagonal shape. This style of cutting is known as the emerald cut.
Emeralds were among the gemstones known to the Ptolemaic Egyptians and later the Romans, who called them smaragdi. They were described by writers, such as Pliny the Younger in his Natural History (approximately 79 AD), and in a poem known as the Lapidarium by Abbot Marbod of Rennes (approximately 1070-1080).
Jewellery pieces that contain emeralds have survived since Roman times and have been depicted in some paintings of the period. The emerald crystals (typically opaque to translucent) were often used in their natural form or were slightly polished, with a hole drilled through them so they could be placed on a necklace or in earrings. Some were polished as cabochons or rounded beads. Most early jewellery pieces with documented emeralds date from the Graeco-Roman period (approximately 50 BC to 395 AD). Presumably, emeralds had both an artistic and symbolic or religious importance to their owners.
The majority of gem-quality emeralds form in nature under conditions of contact metamorphism. Igneous fluids invade the host rock, which cause changes in the rock. A rare combination of chemically rich solutions, heat, and pressure result in the formation of emeralds.
The dynamic forces accompanying emerald formation frequently results in inclusions and fissures. Inclusions are small crystals of other minerals or small pockets of fluid that are “captured” within an emerald as it grows. Although an excessive amount of solid and fluid inclusions can decrease an emerald’s value by reducing its transparency, the presence of a few such inclusions is desirable because they help distinguish natural from synthetic emeralds.
Fractures or fissures in emeralds may result from natural forces, or from trauma to the crystals during mining and recovery. The visibility of these fissures can be decreased through emerald clarity enhancement.
Clarity enhancement and fracture-filling are different ways of describing the same procedure. Clarity enhancement means improving the apparent clarity of an emerald by filling surface-reaching fissures with an organic filler that has a refractive index similar to that of emerald (a technique similar to repairing a crack in a windshield). The filling process reduces the visibility of surface-reaching fissures, thus enhancing the apparent clarity of a stone.
The use of oils to reduce appearance of fissures in emeralds is an old and widespread practice among emerald traders. References to oils being used to enhance emeralds can be found in The Book of Nature, by Konrad von Megenberg, which was written around 1350 and published in 1475, “...and if one washes it and smears it with palm [tree] oil, so [one] improves its green.” Oscar Schneider refers to the oiling of emeralds in his 1892 report, The Egyptian Emerald, “When an emerald is found, it is thrown into hot oil, then placed into cotton, which is then wrapped in a piece of linen...”
Skilful oiling considerably improves the appearance of emeralds with fissures. Cedarwood oil has been preferred in recent years because its refractive index is close to that of emerald.
Resins, such as Canada balsam, have also been used for enhancement. Today, commercial techniques for emerald enhancement include the use of man-made liquid resins (such as liquid Opticon), which have refractive indices closer to emeralds, as well as hardened or surface-hardened polymers. None of these fillers are permanent, so enhanced emeralds may require re-treatment over time.
Which filler is better? There really is no better option since neither option is permanent. Oil is more temporary because a liquid may easily dry or leach out of the fissures. But an emerald that has been oiled may be cleaned and re-oiled with some ease. Resin is gel-like and may harden, so the resulting clarity enhancement may last longer.
Regardless of the substance used, the goal of emerald enhancement is to make fissures less visible. There has been no evidence that the presence of filler causes harm to the emerald. In most cases, fillers can be removed or altered by ultrasonic cleaning, jewellery repair, or by exposure to alcohol or other organic solvents. To prevent accidental removal of the filler, an emerald should be cleaned only with a soft bristled brush, mild soap, and water. If removal does occur, the fissures can be refilled to restore the stone to its former appearance. With proper care, a clarity-enhanced emerald can remain beautiful for many years.
A buyer has the right to know if a stone has been enhanced in any way. When unsure about the possibility of enhancement, the seller should either inform the buyer that the emerald is likely to have been enhanced, or advise the buyer to obtain a report from a qualified gemmological laboratory stating whether or not proof of enhancement is present.
Tailored specifically for emeralds, a GIA Emerald Report helps buyers and sellers evaluate quality by providing an objective, scientific assessment of an emerald’s characteristics, including whether the stone is natural or synthetic and whether it has undergone any detectable process to enhance its appearance. The report also describes the degree of enhancement if present, thereby indicating how the emerald may appear if the filler were to deteriorate. Upon request, the report may also list the gem’s geographic origin when determination is possible.

A mere fluke of nature and the ultimate luxury, a pink diamond is truly something else. Discovered in a dusty creek bed in Western Australia back in 1979, today they are the world's most sought-after diamonds.
A pink diamond is like no other - which is why we carefully handcraft each piece at Rosendorff to ensure you and your pink diamond stand out. Our unique eminence collection is made to feel luxurious and to be the perfect embodiment of the beautiful relationship people share. Marilyn Monroe famously said, diamonds are a girl’s best friend, and their popularity has never wavered since the 1900s, becoming the ultimate symbol of love.
But what makes them so special? The Argyle mine is the only reliable source in the world, producing 90 to 95% of all pink and red diamonds. This extraordinary find put Australia 'on the map' so to speak, we are now known for our pink diamonds, and a huge part of the appeal to Argyle diamonds is in their story.
However, on November 3rd 2020 the Argyle mine officially closed and no longer produces any diamonds. You can read more about the mines' closure here > https://www.riotinto.com/sustainability/closure
The story of all diamonds begins deep within the Earth, and at least a billion years ago – that’s about twice as old as life on dry land. Diamonds form from carbon that has been subjected to extremely high temperatures – around 1,100 degrees Celsius – and pressures over long periods of time. These conditions exist only at depths of 120-250km beneath the surface of the Earth, in a part of the planet known as the mantle.
All diamonds start 'white' but with certain conditions like stress and pressure, the colour can change. What makes pink diamonds extraordinary is the very small window when heat and pressure turns them into the beautiful and rare pinks Argyle is famous for, and right when that is happening, a volcanic eruption brought them to the surface.
This is not only an extraordinary geological phenomenon, but a unique story that breaks moulds and challenges stereotypes - it changed the diamond industry forever.
Located in the East Kimberley region of Western Australia, Argyle is mining Barramundi Gap, a cultural landscape associated with the Ngarranggarni Dreaming – a creation story about how the area’s geography was formed. Barramundi Gap is one of the most culturally significant sites belonging to the Miriuwung and Gidja people.
Here at Rosendorff we have over 50 years of experience in the field and will be happy to help you through the process. If you’re looking for a diamond engagement ring in or the perfect gift, we can help.
