The family jeweller Boodles has become the custodian of the Argyle pink diamond legacy following the closure of the Argyle mine. These stones are considered among the rarest gems in the world.

In a visit to the company’s Leeds showroom, sixth-generation Managing Director and key gem buyer Jody Wainwright discussed the scarcity and fascination surrounding these diamonds. Boodles continues to operate as a family business, maintaining a discreet and intimate showroom environment in the Victoria Quarter.
