The
technique of diamond polishing is attributed to Bruges goldsmith
Lodewijk van Berquen in the middle of the 15th century.
As early as 1370, however, diamonds
were traded in Bruges - long before their introduction into Antwerp or
Amsterdam - and Bruges undisputedly was Europe's first diamond city.
Bruges Diamond House, situated in an
elegantly restored listed building, "De Steur" (The Sturgeon), built 1518,
right in the heart of Bruges, only 80 meters from the Market Place, offers
a large
choice
of diamonds and quality diamond jewelry in classical as well as modern
designs.
During your stay in beautiful Bruges, do
not miss the occasion to make a purchase of diamond jewelry at our
favorable prices.
