Antwerp Diamonds Calendar


For Diamond Solitaire Rings, Diamond Engagement Rings, Man Diamond Rings, Diamond Eternity Bands, Diamond Earrings & more


As many of the suppliers of polished diamonds in Antwerp come from Jewish, Indian and Christian communities - religious holidays from these faiths often lead to these manufacturers being closed. Key UK and Belgian national holidays, religious holidays and our own in-house holidays are noted here so that you can plan your diamond purchase accordingly.

We are open in August though the Antwerp diamond market as a whole (including many suppliers, traders, jewellers, polishers...) close for the annual Summer holiday in August. We keep a good stock of diamonds for August though those people seeking rare diamonds may have to wait a little longer than normal till the general diamond market re-opens.

The Antwerp diamond market as a whole also closes over Xmas/New Year from 24 December to 1 January.
