In the heart of the Antwerp diamond exchange Center

Antwerp, diamond capital of the world

The most important diamond markets are located in Antwerp, New York, Tel Aviv  and Bombay. By far, Antwerp houses the most important market, selling 70% off all the cut diamonds and more than 80% of the total production of rough diamond in the world.

 The diamond district of Antwerp houses the four most important markets, each with their own expertise :

- The Antwerp Diamond Bourse for cut diamonds
- The Diamond Club for cut and rough diamonds
- The Vrijediamanthandel for cut and rough diamonds
- The DiamontKring for rough diamonts.

For obvious security reasons, the process of becoming a member of one of these markets is very restricted.
After World War ll, the best place for buying diamonds shifted from Amsterdam to Antwerp, nowadays, Amsterdam is known for it’s tulips and canals. For cut and rough diamonds Antwerp has become the place to be !
