Diamonds are for ever!

Upendra SwamiNovember 6, 2014 1243 Views0

Everything that glitters might not be gold, but when it comes to diamonds then there might be just few immortals who are not awed by just a look. For everybody else, diamonds are for ever! Antwerp in Belgium might be a fashion hub, but it has also to do much with the diamonds. Antwerp’s diamond industry unites India and Belgium as many of the workers here are from Gujarat. Diamond industry of Surat and Antwerp have very close bonding.

Antwerp’s diamond museum is worth a visit, few of its kind in world. It also shows how much people love diamonds, ofcourse those who can afford them. Not likes of me! The world of glitterati just happens to be gaga over shiny stones. See what they say about diamonds (all taken from walls of Antwerp Diamond Museum)-
