The
Antwerp World Diamond Centre (AWDC), the umbrella organization of the Antwerp diamond
industry, participated in the Belgian State Visit to South Korea. During the
State Visit, and in honor of their
30th
anniversary, Golden dew, one of Korea’s largest jewelry brands, launched three
special cuts it developed together with Antwerp diamond companies.
In
recent years, Korea’s diamond market has developed to the point that the
country is of increasing interest as a market for Antwerp diamond traders. The
relationship between the two countries has also intensified recently, including
a City of Antwerp trade mission in 2016, a three-day visit by Korean jewelers
to the Antwerp diamond industry in 2017 and now the State Visit, in which the
Antwerp diamond industry participated.
During
the State Visit, three special diamond cuts were presented to the general
public in the presence of the Belgian royal couple. Golden dew developed these
cuts together with three Antwerp diamond companies: IGC Group, S. Muller &
Sons Diamonds and Mikisa Gems. These three cuts were selected as the most original
designs from a competition that the AWDC and Golden dew organized for Antwerp
diamond companies.
As
Europe’s leading authority in diamond certification, HRD Antwerp has been
chosen to certify and deliver the corresponding grading reports for the “Golden
dew cut” and “EightStar cut” diamonds.
The
“Golden dew cut” developed by IGC Group, in collaboration with Golden dew, is a
unique cut with a teardrop shape (the ‘dew shape’).
S. Muller & Sons
introduced to the Korean market the EightStar cut, which gives a diamond more
fire and brilliance than is found in a traditional brilliant cut. Mikisa Gems created the UltraBrights cut,
which uses a special technique to improve the light optimization and brilliance
of very small stones.
Golden
dew will distribute these three Antwerp special cuts exclusively throughout
Korea, in more than 100 shops the company runs across the country.
