Famous diamonds are extremely popular among collectors but are rarely seen at auction. When an amazing diamond does go under the hammer, it is sure to attract a lot of attention. A great example is the auction of the Archduke Joseph Diamond in November last year.

The Archduke Joseph is a 76.45 carat diamond with a cushion cut. It was sold for $21.5 million, well above the 15 million estimate. If you divide the total price by the carat weight of the Archduke you get a price per carat of over $280.000 which is a record for a colorless diamond!

The diamond industry in Belgium is a community, quite literally. Most of the diamond trade activities happen in a single area of Antwerp where craftsmen and jewellers work together to provide customers with the finest diamonds the world has to offer – Antwerp diamonds. This cooperation also has a formal form, the AWDC.

We believe the most important part of the perfect Valentine’s Day shouldn’t be presents. Giving attention to one another and just enjoying each other’s company is what Valentine’s Day is truly about. A romantic dinner, a walk through a park and some chivalrous gestures will make your Valentine’s Day one to remember! We believe, however, an amazing present to make those memories last forever would complete that perfect Valentine’s Day.
