HB Antwerp welcomes exceptional pink diamond from Karowe Mine

HB Antwerp is proud to announce the arrival of a newly recovered pink Type IIa diamond from Lucara’s Karowe Mine in Botswana. Weighing in at 37.42 carats, this stone is a rare and remarkable find, showcasing an intensity of color unseen in the market today.

Over the past five years, HB Antwerp has built a reputation as the leading expert in handling large, complex stones from this unique ore body. Our deep experience with Karowe’s output—ranging from the 1,758-carat Sewelô to the 549-carat Sethunya and more recent recoveries such as the 2,488-carat Motswedi and the 1,094-carat Seriti—has positioned HB at the forefront of innovation and craftsmanship in the diamond industry.

The newly arrived pink diamond is expected to undergo HB Antwerp’s proprietary in-house transformation process, which combines cutting-edge technology, traceability, and artisanal craftsmanship. This process ensures that every facet of the diamond’s journey—from mine to masterpiece—is transparent, secure, and verifiable.

“This stone has the potential to become one of the most important pink diamonds ever polished,” said Oded Mansori, co-founder of HB Antwerp. “Its intensely rich coloration is a testament to the geological uniqueness of the Karowe Mine, and our deep understanding of the manufacturing process will allow us to capture its vibrant color to the fullest extent possible.”
