Amsterdam Diamond Polishing Factory Private Tour

Thanks to this booking, you’ll be able to take a private tour of the diamond polishing factory in Amsterdam – the oldest in the world at 175 years old and still in operation today. During this activity , which lasts approximately one hour, a professional guide will accompany you throughout the tour so that you don’t miss a single detail of the jewellery-making process.

Amsterdam is known as the city of diamonds, so you simply mustn’t miss this experience. At the polishing factory, you’ll see first-hand where these precious stones come from and the process they undergo before being set in jewellery or crowns.

In fact, several royal families choose to have diamonds in their crowns that come directly from this factory. It works with the famous Southern Cross, the largest diamond ever found, and the Koh-i-Noor, which is set in the crown of the late Queen Elizabeth II of England.

Furthermore, during the guided tour, the guide will explain how to distinguish between diamonds, carats , cut, clarity and colour. These are the four main factors used to value a diamond. You’ll be able to admire some of the diamonds produced by the factory that are on display, and you’ll even be able to have your photo taken with them.
