Zara Tindall faces criticism over Argyle diamonds from Australia's polluted mine

Zara Tindall is selling pink diamonds from Australia's pollution-affected Argyle mine through her jewellery range with Calleija, drawing criticism from traditional owners over environmental damage. The King's niece's collection includes rings, a pendant and earrings featuring Argyle diamonds, with prices up to £21,600. She wore the gems at a Buckingham Palace garden party in May 2025, despite her public support for ocean conservation charities. A 2025 report from the Gelganyem Group, representing traditional owners, cites permanent land restrictions due to PFAS contamination and damage to indigenous sites. Singer Ellie Goulding recently expressed regret over wearing similar diamonds, while Rio Tinto says it is managing rehabilitation.
