On the corner of Museum Square, you can visit Royal Coster’s Diamond factory, which is the oldest diamond factory in the world. Here you can watch professionals cut and polish rough stones into beautiful diamonds.
An experienced guide will walk you through the factory, and tell you all about the origins of diamonds. Along the way you will also learn all about the 4 Cs of diamond valuation, cut, colour, clarity and carat weight, and much more.
The guide will also take you to a private room where you’ll see part of the largest collection of unset diamonds. Amongst these is the Royal 201 diamond, Royal Coster’s patented diamond known to be the best diamond in the world, and the Koh-I-Noor, part of the British Crown Jewels.
