At the goldsmith stand, you can have your jewellery cleaned for free so that it sparkles like never before. Also have a look at the discovery laboratory where you can use a microscope to search for the inscription/engraving and impurities in a cut diamond. Using a Mohs hardness scale including rough diamonds, you will learn more about the raw material diamond from the diamond expert and dive into the world of diamond polishing.
The Amsterdam City of Diamonds Foundation will also be present during the Ambacht in Beeld Education Days. They have been offering in-house diamond polishing training for several years. As an apprentice diamond polisher, you go straight to work under the guidance of one of the master diamond polishers, according to the principle of ‘learning on the job’. Within a few years, you can master the trade of diamond polisher.
