Pink Diamonds On Show In US

Published on 29/01/09

Pink diamonds were the talking point on the red carpet earlier this week as attendees to the latest celebrity event sparkled.

The finale of the G'Day Australia Week, which was recently held in the US, saw a raft of high-profile names turn up wearing coloured jewels produced by the Argyle mine - one of the largest facilities in the world.

Supermodel Kristy Hinze was among those dazzling in jewellery, while other guests opted for items such as diamond necklaces.

Jean-Marc Lieberherr, general manager of Rio Tinto's Diamonds' sales and marketing division, commented on the presence of the pink gemstones at the event, describing them as "symbolic".

He added he was "delighted" to be able to tell attendees about the gems, stating they are examples of "truly master craftsmanship".

Earlier this week, Kate Winslet and Christina Applegate were among the celebrities seen wearing diamond drop earrings at the 15th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards.
