We couldn't visit Amsterdam and fail to visit a diamond cutting company. We went on the Gassan Diamond Experience Tour. Unfortunately, they said we came on Tuesday and the free samples were only given out on Wednesday. We were impressed by the collection of very high-priced cars parked in front of the company building. Here is a short excerpt from their website that tells about the company.
GASSAN Diamonds, is located in a beautiful restored originally steam driven diamond factory and was built in 1879. Every year more than 350.000 visitors experience a unique tour through the industrial factory.Visitors can view the diamond polishers at their craft, while multilingual guides explain where diamonds are found and how rough diamonds turn into dazzling brilliants. Loose polished diamonds are shown as well as an elaborate jewelry collection. After the tour you can see our extensive jewelry and watch collection in our Boutique. Also have a look in our in-house Rolex Boutique.
For over 400 years diamond polishers have perfected the art of giving maximum life to the brilliant cut diamond. At GASSAN Diamonds this tradition is being continued and we are proud to introduce a breathtaking and worldwide patented cut: GASSAN 121, with one hundred and twenty one facets.
