Antwerp, Belgium,
diamond capital of the world
Regal Jewellers of Traralgon, Victoria, Australia, has been appointed as an Antwerp Diamond Broker by the Nationwide Jewellers group. The Nationwide group represents over 500 independent jewellery stores, spread throughout Australasia.
Antwerp, Belgium is the diamond capital of the world, the place where 80% of the world’s diamonds are traded
.
Keith Orchard of Regal Jewellers was presented with his Antwerp Diamond Broker Certificate in Antwerp at the HRD (High Diamond Council) headquarters in September 2007 by Mr Willy Katz. Mr Katz has been on the HRD Certification Committee for 25 years and is also a director of the Antwerp Diamond Club.
To gain access to these diamonds – to get an “in” – is both complicated and time consuming, and beyond the resources of most small retailers in Australia.
But through its international affiliations, and its dedicated Antwerp office, the Nationwide Jewellers group not only has direct access, but also some 70 retail members who are accredited as Antwerp Diamond Brokers.
Put simply, Nationwide’s Antwerp Diamond Brokers can cut out the middlemen – here and overseas – and select the world’s best quality diamonds to import into Australia. These hand picked diamonds are laser engraved with the official Antwerp Diamond Broker logo.
The many hours spent sorting through huge parcels of diamonds enables Keith Orchard to select the best diamonds in the world for customers. The ones not selected are later sold via the open market.
