“World Diamond Capital†– Antwerp, Belgium's second largest city, has a world-class diamond processing industry, with 84% of the world's original diamonds and 50% of the finished diamonds flowing from here to the world. In this city with more than 500 years of diamond processing trade history, the world's top diamond craftsmen inherit the myth of craftsmen about diamonds with the spirit of “never cut corners†and the innovative spirit represented by “dragon cutâ€.
Longbot is a native of Antwerp. He and his wife from Spain run a hand-made diamond workshop founded by his father in the 1970s. For decades, this family-style diamond workshop has begun to cut its own diamond jewelry brand.
Longbot told reporters that he would rather stop working and not be willing to cut corners on raw materials and manuals. The local craftsmen represented by Lombard believe that diamonds, as a symbol of love and wealth, are the eternal pursuit of people, and their craftsmanship will be passed on as a diamond.
At Lombard's jewellery store, customers can either pick existing designs or create ideas and draw with designers. In the process of jewelry creation, customers can supervise and propose changes at any time.
“We choose diamonds together with our customers and discuss the budget together. We will take photos of each process and send them to customers via email.†Longbott's service is so meticulous, serious and very human.
The Lombart family's diamond business is just one of more than 2,300 diamond companies in Antwerp. In the “Diamond District†around the center of Antwerp, an entire industrial chain consisting of exchanges, jewelry stores, cutting and processing points, and accreditation bodies has developed very maturely and established a specialized diamond industry management organization. Antwerp World Diamond Center.
The center's public relations manager, Barbara Deskehmark, said that the original diamond had to be cut and polished to become a dazzling piece of jewelry. Jewelry designers and cutters must work together to determine the shape of the cut based on the different characteristics of each rough. This is not only a technology, but also a professional knowledge and creativity.
Peter Pompeck is the third generation diamond cutter of his family, and his original "Dragon Cutting" process has recently been popular with Asian customers. According to him, his idea comes from the lucky number 8 in China. The specific method is to cut the diamond into 64 faces, which takes several months to complete.
Pang Beck told reporters that although this method is very complicated to operate, it is precisely because of the cutting surface and other factors that the diamonds thus created will be brighter than the bright diamonds, and the light will be more refracted. It is whiter than the color of the diamond itself.
The fierce competition in the diamond market has brought a lot of pressure to the handmade workshops. Today, more and more brands are increasing their productivity by introducing advanced equipment such as diamond cutters. But even with the impact of modern technology, Antwerp's diamondsmiths still adhere to fine hand-cutting, sanding techniques and loyalty to traditional craftsmanship. The spirit of craftsmanship and the constant innovation of advancing with the times continue the myth of the diamond capital of Antwerp.
