It is powerfully evocative of summer. To work with a rough diamond straight from the mine is a dream come true. It’s the creative pinnacle of our art, perhaps the purest expression of jewellery design, and an opportunity we embrace with joy and excitement,” says Musson Creative Director, Olivar Musson.  “The diamonds have come to the Australian sun from the midnight sun of Canada,” he says. “It’s a wonderful story.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 12px 0px;\"\u003eRio Tinto’s Diavik Diamond Mine has been operating since 2003 and typically produces white gem quality diamonds, with yellow diamonds comprising only 1% of its total production. The Mine has yielded less than four other fancy intense yellow rough diamonds above 30 carats in the past five years. It is only fitting to set such an extraordinary diamond with the rarest diamonds in the world, Argyle Pink Diamonds from the now closed Argyle Diamond Mine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Diavik Midnight Sun project mirrors the story of the incredible Argyle Octavia™, the largest gem quality white diamond in Argyle’s history, and another successful mine-to-market collaboration between Musson and Glajz THG in 2020.  “To create this piece is an honour. It continues our legacy and that’s deeply important to us,” says Olivar Musson.  “Making something that is going to be truly treasured, that is what drives us each and every day,” he says.\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eScroll to the bottom of the page to watch the yellow diamond rough be transformed into the Diavik Midnight Sun. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cslideover-button class=\"list-item\" slideover=\"product-availability\" style='display: block; box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(36, 31, 33); font-family: \"Maison Neue\", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;'\u003e\u003cslot style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003e\u003clink-list-item style=\"display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center; border-bottom: 1px solid var(--color-grey-300); cursor: pointer; box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003e\u003cbr class=\"Apple-interchange-newline\"\u003e\u003c\/link-list-item\u003e\u003c\/slot\u003e\u003c\/slideover-button\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Musson Jewellers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42071130308689,"sku":"JB2002080 \u0026 JB2002102","price":0.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0560\/9675\/1697\/files\/stock___82306__Musson-Diavik-Midnight-Sun-Yellow-Diamond-with-Jeweller-Soft-Grey-BG-2_6548vogex.jpg?v=1732772492","url":"https:\/\/musson.com.au\/products\/diavik-midnight-sun-18-08ct-fancy-intense-yellow-diamond-82306","provider":"Musson Jewellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
