Antwerp is definitely a good place to buy your diamonds. But be carefull. You will never get a proper, recognized certificate (HRD, GIA,..), unless you buy loose stones without any settings.

We've been to this area ofcourse, how could you not pass by these shops? Everything sparkles, so pretty. But as soon we entered some shops on the CENTRAL STATION side we noticed that with them it's just all about SELLING, no good explanation of the Diamonds, and they offerd us reduction up to 80%, still wondering about that?!

We have been cheated. They sold us diamond earings (each diamond VS1 quality). As a matter of fact, the quality of diamonds was much worse. That lied to us! When I asked for certificate, I received a piece of paper with no signature on it! I don't recommend VERSATO! More

Knowing this is a Jewish neighbourhood, we didn't go on a Saturday. But unfortunately, on Sunday's everything is closed as well. Around the edges are several Jewellery shops, one dodgier than te other. More

Loads of blingy shops but I'm sure one could get a better deal elsewhere. All the interesting business goes on behind closed doors. More

I have been fortunate to travel extensively. But never have I been surrounded by so much gold and different types of gem. Without proper moderation and control I think you could lose your own 'jewels' on a trip here! More

Right next to the 'need to see' central train station. There were a couple of places open on Saturday, but we suggest another day especially if you are shopping for diamonds. More
