ABOUT THE DIAMOND MUSEUM

Learn

Learn how rough diamonds are transformed into creations of fire and light.

The museum takes you on a journey that begins with a diamond’s formation, deep inside the earth’s crust. There, intense heat and pressure create the hardest known substance on earth. But these rough stones must still be delicately cut and polished before their exquisite beauty is revealed and they are, finally, set in pieces of timeless jewellery.
