Boutique luxury jeweller Musson has once again captured the attention of the jewellery world with the return of an extraordinary treasure: the Diavik Midnight Sun™, a 36.75 carat fancy intense yellow diamond valued at $1,200,000. This rare gem has made its way back to Australian shores from Canada, where it originated at the renowned Rio Tinto Diavik Mine. Unset and waiting to be transformed, it offers an unparalleled opportunity for a collector or connoisseur to own a bespoke piece of jewellery history.
A Diamond as Rare as the Midnight Sun
The Diavik Midnight Sun™ gained international recognition when it was first unveiled in Australia in November 2022. Its name pays homage to the Arctic phenomenon where the sun remains visible at midnight, painting the night sky in mesmerising hues of pink and gold. Unearthed in the Canadian tundra, the diamond is a testament to nature’s artistry and rarity.
“This diamond is breathtakingly beautiful,” says Olivar Musson, Creative Director of Musson. “I am so looking forward to creating a stunning piece of jewellery to honour its splendour—a piece that will be treasured forever.”
Yellow diamonds comprise only one per cent of Rio Tinto Diavik Mine’s production, and diamonds of this size and intensity are extraordinarily rare. In the past five years, the mine has produced fewer than four fancy intense yellow rough diamonds above 30 carats, making the Diavik Midnight Sun™ a truly exceptional find.
“To work with a rough diamond straight from the mine is a dream come true,” adds Olivar Musson. “It’s the creative pinnacle of our art, perhaps the purest expression of jewellery design. Now I have the honour of crafting a new design that will carry this legend forward into its next exciting chapter.”

The return of the Diavik Midnight Sun™ is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for jewellery enthusiasts and collectors alike.
