Guests see real craftsmen polishing real diamonds using techniques refined over 185 years. The experience includes a private diamond presentation, a look at the Cullinan replica (largest gem-quality rough diamond ever found), and an introduction to the Royal 201 cut, the most brilliant diamond in the world, exclusive to Royal Coster. The 4 C's are explained in person, with real stones, by guides in 15+ languages. Royal Coster polishers recut the Koh-i-Noor for the British Crown Jewels in 1852. For travelers who want real depth, this is Amsterdam's diamond experience.

Exceeded our expectations and we learned a lot
My husband and I signed up for the Diamond Experience tour while we were in Amsterdam. It far exceeded our expectations and we learned quite a bit. We met the diamond polisher who holds the Guinness Book of Records for the smallest faceted diamond. We also received an insightful education about faceted diamonds and the difference between natural and lab-grown diamonds. Our tour guide, Anas, couldn't have been more generous with his time and answered the multitude of questions we had. He was an outstanding representative for Royal Coster Diamonds.

Best diamond tour for shopping
We have done diamond tours in the past but the Royal Coster Experience was by far the best! The attention given to us by Angela was so personal and the knowledge she has for their beautiful stones and the deep company history was amazing. We were so impressed that we bought 2 stones and my new heirloom ring looks fantastic!!
