After visiting the Rijksmuseum, before jumping on the tram we decided to visit the Royal Coster Diamonds Museum and workshop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a working jewellers where diamond are polished and creations are made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their claim to fame is that they have created a diamond called the 201 with 201 facets more than any other diamond. This gives it more sparkle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I found interesting was the large volume of different shapes available and the varying types of diamonds, categories and clarities that adds to their value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were accompanied around the work shop by a knowledgable guide who explained what the staff were doing and showed us tools and techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clearly this is quite a skill and requires a steady hand to build facets out of rocks that turn to beautiful diamonds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As suspected we led through a number of corridors with exhibits and ended up at the start of a showroom where surprise surprise, jewellery can be purchased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working your way through a maze leads you eventually to the cheapest items and the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its a free access visit and i recommend it to you as it was interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
