Given the rarity of pink diamonds, anyone who makes a successful bid in the Argyle Pink Diamond Tender is pretty lucky, but Leibish & Co considers itself especially lucky to have purchased six of them at last year’s tender.
 
One of the six was a 1.71-carat diamond that Shmulik Polnauer, Leibish & Co.’s chief buyer, decided to re-cut. The result was a 1.68 carat fancy vivid purplish pink, radiant-shaped stone.
 
The re-polishing improved the stone in two ways. First, it significantly upgraded its color intensity, which upgrades its price.
 
The second improvement has to do with its new weight: 168 is an especially auspicious number in Mandarin.

I am like a child looking at a tray
of multi colored candy! The scope
of the color variety is astounding

interest and passion.
