I lately had the delight of travelling to Antwerp, Belgium, the town which manages 80 per hundred of the world's uneven precious gems after they are mined and over 50 per hundred of the world's precious-stone-quality diamonds. If you're involved in precious gems, the 500 year vintage customs in Antwerp are a must-see. You'll desire to visit the precious gem locality, which is a somewhat little locality (only about a rectangle kilometer), but loads a plethora of jewelry shops and precious gem dealers, numerous at terrific charges -- even with the exchange rate being as unfavorable as it is.
If you're new to precious gems and worried you might be swindled, you've still arrive to the right place; it's very easy to do your study and discover the A to Z (or, rather, the D to Z) of precious gems in Antwerp. The first halt I would suggest is DiamondLand, an internationally renowned precious gem trader and precious gem data center. Free trips are accessible every day at 11:00 AM, except Sundays, and encompass a message in where precious gems are mined, how they are made, the value terminology and an opening to glimpse a genuine precious gem cutter at work. Secondly, for an even more in-depth gaze at the precious gem commerce and its worldwide influence, The Diamond Museum (open every day except Wednesdays) is just a short stroll from there. Be certain and get the audio guide; you won't get much data without it.
