The owner and managing director of our all Australian diamond company, MDTdesign, starter his career in the jewellery industry in 1975. He first opened his own store in 1981 and has been manufacturing all Australian jewellery ever since. Many people are unaware that Australia is actually a very big contributor to the worlds diamond supply in which the Argyle diamond mine alone, being in the top 5 largest diamond mines, averages annually a production of 8 million carats which 5% being actual gem grade quality that can be used in jewellery pieces. The other 95% of diamonds mined are used mostly for industrial purposes. The Australian diamond mines are commonly known for its production of high quality white, blue and pink diamonds. Another source of Australian diamonds come from the Ellendale diamond mine, also located in Western Australia. It is widely recognized for the large quantity of amazingly beautiful yellow diamonds. In fact the Australian Ellendale diamond mine produces over 50% of the world’s finest fancy yellow diamonds. Usually when a person thinks Argyle Diamond, there mind goes to pink diamonds and with the Ellendale mine they usually think yellow diamonds but in actual fact, both the Argyle and Ellendale diamond mines produce some of the finest White diamonds the world has to offer. These all Australian diamonds are not easy to come by and stocks are limited both due to the demand and the short life expectancy left in the mines. Weather an Argyle or Ellendale Australian diamond, both come with authenticity certificates and can quickly be identified, wiping out doubt from your mind regarding the source and legitimacy of the diamond you are purchasing versus other diamonds that can often have question marks tied to. We have an incredibly large range of Australian diamond stock on hand at any time for our clients to view both set into Australian made pieces of jewellery and loosed.
