In Amsterdam, on Museumplein, not far from the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum, there is another fascinating museum whose collection is in no way inferior to those of its illustrious neighbors. This is the Diamond Museum, founded by the famous Dutch company “Coster Diamonds”, which has been cutting diamonds since 1840.
The museum building is a beautiful large villa, exactly what you would expect from an exhibition associated with brilliance and luxury.
At the museum, you can learn about the history of diamond mining and the technologies used to process precious stones. Then, of course, you will see the diamonds themselves - the finest examples of the work of Dutch masters. The most valuable pieces are copies, but they are executed so skillfully that even a specialist would have difficulty determining where the original is and where the copy.
Since the museum is located in the same building as the “Coster Diamonds” factory, visitors can watch first-class jewelers at work, creating true masterpieces. Here, if you wish, you can also purchase the piece you like: directly from the manufacturer, with all possible guarantees and certificates, and even save a little on taxes.
