Our Lab Grown Gems: The Amsterdam Diamond

The Amsterdam diamond is a one-of-a-kind black diamond boasting 33.74 carats, hailing from South Africa. Its original rough form was a 55.74-carat stone, cut masterfully into a pear-shaped diamond. This delicate process resulted in a piece of expressive beauty, first presented to the public in a stunning diamond pendant in 1973. Just like Valquère, the 'Amsterdam Diamond' serves as a symbol of luxury, personal service, and commitment to quality.

Tiffany Diamond: A Symbol of Craftsmanship

The Tiffany diamond — a striking yellow diamond, is amongst the largest known diamonds worldwide. Known for its exceptional craftsmanship, it mirrors Valquère's dedication to delivering high-quality lab grown diamonds. The Tiffany diamond's tale includes only two women wearing it in its lifetime, one being the iconic Audrey Hepburn. Today, we offer you the chance to own a similarly enchanting piece with our range of diamond pendants.

Exuding Royal Elegance: The Koh-i-Noor

Valquère's statement made ethos is best exemplified by the Koh-i-Noor, a 109-carat diamond that forms part of the British royal crown. Its lineage traces back to the 13th century in India, symbolizing a new kind of luxury in our handcrafted jewellery, reminiscent of regal elegance.

The Story of the Hope Diamond

The Hope diamond stands out with its unique blue hue, and a history as intriguing as its shade. Once owned by Louis XIV, it is now showcased as an exquisite diamond pendant at the Smithsonian Institute. Similarly, Valquère infuses each piece with a tale, making our handcrafted jewellery from Antwerp not just an accessory, but a statement.

Eureka: The Discovery that Sparked a Rush

The Eureka diamond set off the massive Diamond Rush in South Africa, a history etched into every diamond piece at Valquère. As we continue this legacy, we invite you to experience our personal service and selection of high-quality lab grown diamonds.

If these tales inspire you to invest in a dazzling diamond pendant, Valquère, with its Antwerp-crafted, high-quality, lab grown diamonds, is at your service. Remember, every purchase is a 'Statement Made.'
