Antwerp Diamonds

Staats Jewelers travels to Antwerp, Belgium because it is the "Diamond Capital of the World" where more than 80% of the world’s diamonds are cut, polished, and sold.

This unique diamond market provides us the opportunity to select from diamond cuts, sizes, shapes, colors and clarities of unmatched quantity, quality and value in a single market location. It is a diamond buyer's paradise. In Antwerp, we also deal directly with the diamond cutters with no middle-men or brokers involved. This provides an incremental value in eliminating one level of the normal distribution channels. We save money and we pass that savings on to our customers through "pre-sales."

Pre-sales are offered to our customers starting one month before each trip.

When placing a pre-sale order, we act as your personal shopper while in Antwerp. We search for diamonds based on your specific criteria and price points. No order is too small or too large, and no special request is beyond the reach of our Antwerp suppliers.

We talk about specifications and price points and these are very important. But diamonds are so much more than just certifications and the "Four C's."

Diamonds are a symbol of love and romance and usually represent a significant and lifelong purchase.

In Antwerp, we search for diamonds of exceptional beauty. It's all about "fire" and brilliance and this can only be measured with your heart and eyes.

Specifications such as cut, color and clarity are simply a starting point. Since no two diamonds are alike, diamonds with the same certifications can often differ dramatically in their appearance.

We spend hours examining "same-cert" diamond parcels in search of the perfect diamond, just for you; to match your heart's desire.

We are members of IJO, Independent Jewelers Organization. This is the largest jewelry buying group in the world with over $900 million dollars in sales.

They provide access and we, along with other IJO member stores, are welcomed onto the cutting floors with open arms.

We believe in providing our customers with choices and opportunities.

Purchasing a diamond from Antwerp that is hand-picked just for you is a very special and unique experience. It represents a commitment to the very best in quality and value.



Being a jeweler is about sharing special moments with our customers. We love that. We get caught up in your lives and your stories and we love being a part of making your dreams come true. That is the Antwerp experience, for us and for you.
