They hint at the possibility of more.

Merlin Diamonds announced the discovery of two pink diamonds — one 0.039-carat and one 0.025-carat — at the Merlin diamond mine in the Northern Territory, Australia.

The find is in addition to the recovery of a pink diamond of 0.7 carats announced in the company’s March 2017 quarterly report.

The company said in a statement that it is “encouraged by these discoveries that indicate the possibility of further pink diamonds at the Merlin diamond mine.”

The mine, the company’s flagship project, undertook pilot production in 2013. It is well-known for producing “large, high clarity, super white, and high value diamonds,” according to Merlin.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
