The
Antwerp Diamond
Bourse
 Antwerp
has been home to a
flourishing diamond
industry for the
past 500 years.
Today,
it has become
the world's
most important
diamond centre,
importing
over 80% of
the
world's rough and
polished
diamonds
before being
distributed further.
The Antwerp diamond
centre is located
a
hundred yards from
the railway
station.
A
multitude of
diamond merchants
trade in
rough and polished
diamonds
worth billions of
dollars. Their
activities
are based on
tradition.
Strict rules
have been
established
which
have regulated the
industry for
the past five
centuries, giving the
merchants the
opportunity to put
their unparalleled
professional
expertise at the
disposal of clients
from all over the
world.
There
are 1500
diamond firms and
250
odd diamond
cutting
factories
located in the area,
which guarantees
Antwerp with a
highly skilled
workforce of cutters
and craftsmen,
renowned the world
over and synonym for
quality and
perfection within a
unique working
infrastructure.
Trading
activities are
regulated by
the industry itself
in the guise of
several diamond
institutions,
exchanges, where a
merchant, if to be
respected, must be a
member of.
The
foremost of these is
the Antwerp
Diamond Bourse with
its 1500 members,
belonging to
over 20
nationalities,
are the guarantors
on ethics,
morality and
integrity within the
trade.
The
main hall of the
Antwerp
Diamond Bourse is
the
focal meeting
point
of those
involved in the
diamond
industry, members of
this prestigious
organisation.
Founded in 1904, the
institution has
members whose
activities range
from
merchants to
dealers, from
manufacturers to
brokers,
all regulated and
obliged to adhere to
a very strict code
of conduct
established and
regulated by the
members themselves.
This ensures
very high
standards of ethics
and offers buyers
the guarantee that
business will be
conducted
in an atmosphere of
integrity
and fair play.
