Amsterdam: Diamond Museum Highlights & Guided Factory Tour

- Trace Amsterdam’s 400-year diamond legacy, from its rise as a global diamond capital to the war years that nearly ended the trade, through a compact temporary exhibition. - Watch master polishers and goldsmiths at work on a 30-minute factory tour, and learn how the 4 Cs—Carat, Clarity, Colour, and Cut—determine a diamond’s value. - Follow a diamond’s journey from 3 billion years ago to the jewellery on your finger, including how polishing can reduce a rough stone’s weight by up to 70%. - See replicas of legendary diamonds and royal treasures, including the Cullinan, Hope, Orlov, Regent, Moussaieff Red, Koh-i-Noor, Louis XV’s coronation crown, and the Imperial State Crown. - See distinctive showpieces such as a diamond-and-ruby Murano glass Katana, then explore the self-guided exhibition at your own pace.
