Diamonds in Antwerp, a rich history!
Today the diamond industry is a very professional one, but many years ago that was anything but the case.
The very first diamonds were not unearthed by industrial-sized excavators, but were mostly found by chance. Between the 12th and 8th centuries BC diamonds were merely considered as curiosities that were picked up off the ground in India. The stones came from kimberlite sediment and were found in river beds.
