Diamond Cocktail

One of the city's most well-known landmarks is the Antwerp's Diamond District which trades 85% of all rough diamonds, 50% of cut diamonds and 40% of industrial diamonds, and its daily transactions are worth USD 127 million. You can explore mining, polishing and cutting processes at Diamondland, Antwerp's largest diamond showroom. The Diamond Cocktail is a way to add something new and different to your event, whether during the cocktail hour, dinner, or any other time during the event.

The Diamond Cocktail itself is a glass of champagne with a three mm brilliant cut stone in it. Most of the stones are cubic zirconia, but according to the direction of the client, some of the stones are genuine diamonds. Attached to the glass is a small green cord with a card that reads, "Let's drink to a sparkling future. However, drink with care, for each glass contains a diamond. Or is it a fake...?"
