Brilianto has signed an agreement with the Argentine Football Association (AFA) to create the official diamonds of the Argentina national team. These diamonds will be created from carbon extracted from the grass of the Lionel Andrés Messi Training Centre, the AFA's training facility in Ezeiza, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, where the country's national teams prepare.
The result is a series of diamonds with a unique provenance, connected from their very origin to the place where the Argentina national team has prepared, generation after generation.
From the Lionel Andrés Messi Training Centre to a diamond
Brilianto will extract the carbon from the grass of the AFA training centre to create the diamonds. Each one will come with a certificate of authenticity and traceability, while the 0.5-carat and 1-carat diamonds will also come with individual certification from the International Gemological Institute (IGI).
Past, present and future of the Argentina national team
The Argentina national team cannot be defined by a single title. Its history has been built over generations, with three FIFA World Cup titles, sixteen Copa América trophies, and a relationship with football that goes far beyond the outcome of any single tournament.
That legacy continues to grow with every new generation of players and supporters. In Argentina, but also far beyond its borders, millions of people feel that the national team is part of their own story.
The official diamonds created by Brilianto reflect that idea: preserving part of this history through a diamond with a unique, traceable origin. They do not celebrate a single moment, but a story that continues to be written from one generation to the next.
The only official diamond of the Argentina national team
The diamonds created by Brilianto will be the only official diamonds of the Argentina national team. This agreement with the Argentine Football Association (AFA) makes Brilianto the official licensee for this product category.
Each diamond will be part of a limited edition created from a single grass extraction at the Lionel Andrés Messi Training Centre. This makes the edition unique.
The diamonds will be available in 0.10, 0.25, 0.50 and 1 carat.
Through this agreement, Brilianto transforms the grass where Argentina's national teams train into diamonds with a unique origin. A new way to preserve part of the Argentina national team's history.
