Amsterdam can justly be described as a jewel of a city and also a city of jewels. Here the diamond industry has flourished for 400 years and today features many diamond-cutting centres in the city and numerous firms involved in the diamond industry.
The diamond-cutters of Amsterdam enjoy a deserved reputation for the excellence of their craftsmanship and quality. Visitors to Amsterdam will find that many of the city's diamond polishers give free demonstrations of diamond cutting and offer sales of set and unset stones.
The prices may not be cheaper than elsewhere but a diamond factory will give you an extensive description of the diamond(s) that you purchase.
