DIAMOND LAND

Antwerp is an amazing city the whole year through, but in the summer Antwerp has even more to offer! Of course we could suggest the usual highlights of Antwerp like the Diamond Museum, discover the amazing architecture across the city, visit the MAS or shop from famous designers like the Antwerp Six, but these you can enjoy the whole year through. The following options are what will set the summer of 2012 apart!

Technology advances and this is no different for the diamond sector. We’re not talking about the newest cutting techniques or the most impressive diamond analysis tools; instead we’re exploring the world of cultivated diamonds also known as synthetic diamonds.

There are two popular processes for creating synthetic diamonds: HPHT & CVD diamonds. HPHT is an abbreviation for the diamonds created by the process known as High Pressure – High Temperature synthesis. CVD diamonds are created by Chemical Vapour Deposition.
