AWDC to host Diamond Divas

Antwerp World Diamond Centre will host this year’s edition of its ‘Diamond Divas’ through April 11 - June 8, 2008 at the Antwerp Diamond Museum, exhibting some rare jewellery, as is the traditional way of hosting the event. This year’s line up includes bracelets from the “Art de Cartier” collection owned by Gloria Swanson, a tiara owned by Doris Duke, the ‘snake’ necklace owned by Maria Felix, the “Moon of Baroda” necklace with a 24.04-carat canary yellow pear-shaped diamond centrepiece. Diamond Divas will be held under the Patronage of HRH Princess Mathilde.

As reported by Antwerp Facets News Service (AFNS) each exhibit is rare because of its story behind it, either regading its diamonds or its owner and on other occasions the event for which it was created. ADWC has sourced the jewellery through high end jewellers, auction houses and private collections from around the world.

Diamond Divas is a cooperation with the Diamond Museum of the Province of Antwerp, sponsored by Antwerp Diamond Bank, KBC, ABN AMRO, SNCB, Roularta Media Group Lifestyle Magazines, De Standaard and the City of Antwerp. Diamond Divas is supported by the Province of Antwerp.
