As a member of the Independent Jewelers Organization (IJO), a highly acclaimed, international buying group, Peter & Co. Jewelers has exclusive access to these stunning Antwerp diamonds. This allows our clients in Avon Lake and the greater Cleveland, Ohio area to purchase these world-famous, ethical gems right here at home.
The Origins of Antwerp Diamonds
Antwerp gained notoriety as the home of the world's first stock exchange long before this bustling Belgian city became known for its Diamond District. Dating back to the mid-1400s, traders came to Antwerp to buy and sell silver, gold, and all sorts of jewels, including diamonds that would make the city famous.
Today, approximately 1,700 diamond companies are registered with Belgium's License Service of the Federal Public Service Economy in Antwerp. And while the diamond industry has expanded rapidly in other parts of the world, Antwerp is still considered the most important hub for the cutting of large stones. In face, one of Antwerp's biggest recent finds included a rough diamond weighing in at 603 carats. This massive stone was sold in the city and transformed into a 26-stone necklace offered for sale in London.
Bringing the Diamond District to Ohio
Offering clients the finest Antwerp diamonds has long been part of Peter & Co. Jewelers' mission. We travel nearly 10,000 miles to Belgium twice a year, where we hand-select premium gems for shoppers like you. Thanks to our extensive network of oversease connections, we eliminate the middleman in the diamond procurement process, allowing us to pass along great savings as well as brilliant diamonds.
We're also proud to offer diamonds that are ethically sourced as they are beautiful. We comply with the Kimberley Process, which regulates the international trade in rough diamonds to avoid the purchase and sale of conflict diamonds.
