Antwerpen
In Antwerp, the Diamond Quarter has four diamond exchanges, 380 workshops on processing of diamonds, which employ 12,000 of the best specialists in the world-cutters. No wonder the most perfect form of the diamond processing is called "Antwerp".
Diamond District begins right at the main station street Keyserley. Right - the cafes and restaurants, to the left - a whole series of jewelry stores. The doors of shops are usually closed - sellers offer them from the inside, if you were "face control".
Trading rooms are small, the visitor seated in a comfortable chair at a table with a bright lamp (to assess the play of light in a stone), wishes to learn, and as long as the seller picks up the goods, the visitor enjoys the coffee and chocolate. You're in the the realm of the four "C": carat, color , clarity, cut - Carat, color, clarity, cut. If you have the opportunity to purchase this stone, no doubt, take it - first, you will have a "girl's best friend", and secondly, well invest: whatever you say, the price of diamonds has never dropped.
By the way, going to the store, do not be afraid to face the problem of language barrier. Since you are talking in Russian - and not because the Russian here - the most frequent buyers, but because in the diamond business in Antwerp is full of our fellow citizens. If the means worse than we would like, do not worry. Go out and buy yourself a diamond made of chocolate - it definitely will be much bigger and tastier.
