BRUGES DIAMOND HOUSE

(Brugs diamanthuis)

The technique of diamond polishing is attributed to Bruges goldsmith Lodewijk van Berquen in the middle of the 15th century.

As early as 1370, however, diamonds were traded in Bruges - long before their introduction into Antwerp or Amsterdam - and Bruges undisputedly was Europe's first diamond city.

Bruges Diamond House, situated in an elegantly restored listed building, "De Steur" (The Sturgeon), built 1518, right in the heart of Bruges, only 80 meters from the Market Place, offers a large choice of diamonds and quality diamond jewelry in classical as well as modern designs.

During your stay in beautiful Bruges, do not miss the occasion to make a purchase of diamond jewelry at our favorable prices.

To find Brugs Diamanthuis :

Coming from the Market Place : Enter Philip Stockstraat (Near Provincial Government Palace), and take first street left.

Coming from Burg : Pass sculpture under trees, continue and turn left into Philip Stockstraat, take first street right.
