Antwerp diamond district

I browsed some of the shops. Some sellers diamond rings & necklaces, other sells color stones and gold. Good selection if you're looking for special gift for someone special in your life.

This is the remenace of a once great diamond capital of the world. Now? Just a slowly decaying industry. I doubt it will survive for more than 10 years. The entire industry is dying a slow death. Look around you, look at all the empty buildings, look at all the empty shops... between the paradigm shift and the lab grown diamonds, there is really no reason to destroy our environment for a stone that can be grown in the lab with a large supply of natural diamonds locked behind vaults. Diamonds are truly unique and the more you learn about it, the more you'll appreciate it. Don't trust anyone. I go into jewlery shops for fun, and they lie to my face all the time. Few are honest. But buyer beware.

So many amazing jewelry stores, so little time...

Diamond market. You can find all big diamond offices here.

Amazing. Diamonds everywhere. I even tripped on one that was barely noticable as they allways live with just 10% above the pavement. Seriously, do not buy diamonds. It is a trap. Diamonds have no value.

This is a really nice place. I loved it here so much. But be careful, there might be single shops that are selling synthetic diamonds or less quality diamonds than you are told. In particular shops that give lots of discount might be suspicious. As it seems colour of diamonds can be changed in an industrial process. Just go to offically certified jewellers. I think I could also have been cheated because the reviews of the shop I read afterwards were really bad. I just want to warn you. Maybe check the reviews of the shop before you buy. Noone has warned me and I can just recommend go to trusted shops. I have not known myself either. Brightness and colour of diamonds can be changed and even with a microscope it is not easy to say what has happened to the stone. I went to Diamondland and Antwerp Diamonds Claus & Orsini. These shops really helped me out to find out what ring I have bought. Employees are friendly and you get good value for money with an official certificate. But there are also lots of good and high quality, classy other shops. Just be careful and then you will have a nice rememberance. I was talking to many really nice and honest shop owners. I will come here again to buy the next diamond ring. You will not regret it. To me the prices were really reasonable.

While visiting Antverp diamond district, I notice that the place is wery well secured, I was making photos and videos and all of a sudden the undercover police officers approach to me with five armed soldier's, I had to explain my situation and provide them with national I'd card and IMEI of the phone, they also empty my back pack and check for something.... The diamond Street is a worthwhile if you are planing to buy a engagement ring, all kind of yuwlery, they also sell diamond by pieces, you can by anykind of gold( yellow,rosegold, white gold), silver of anny kind with different stones not yust diamonds. The salesman are wery polite and respectful to the customers. Definitely worth the trip.

not too much stylish diamonds jeweliry
