Testimonials
Wasn’t sure what to expect here but it turned out to be a gem of a find (pardon the pun!). Was really interesting to see how they were formed, processed and to see examples of them used in different cultures and examples of royals and celebrities integrating them into their fashion. It’s free with I Amsterdam card so why not give it a visit? - Glasgow, Verenigd Koninkrijk
Worth a visit whilst in Amsterdam as the diamond industry made up such a big part of Amsterdam's history. It's really easy to get to as well as it is right next to the museum quarter where the Rijksmuseum is 🙂 - Sheffield, Verenigd Koninkrijk
I have never learnt so much about something that I didn't think I would be interested in but WOW, this place fantastic, the art behind making a diamond as beautiful as it is, is a try skill of craftsman ship. The exhibitions here are very informative and interesting. There is alot to learn but it is all explained very well. - Thurso, Verenigd Koninkrijk
