Our heritage in Amsterdam, The City of Diamonds

The first official diamond trade in Amsterdam took place in 1576. For over four centuries, diamonds have played a crucial role in Amsterdam's history. Since 1840, Royal Coster Diamonds, the world's oldest diamond polishing factory, has been an integral part of this rich heritage. Royal Coster Diamonds gained international acclaim even before its founder, Moses Elias Coster, was chosen to re-polish the Koh-i-Noor diamond for the British Crown Jewels in 1852. This task ensured the company's reputation for exceptional craftsmanship. Nowadays, Royal Coster is renowned not just for working on some of the most famous diamonds, but also the tiniest ones, as recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records. One of our master polishers, Pauline Willemse, set this specific world record in 1994. A trip to Amsterdam isn't complete without visiting Royal Coster Diamonds!
