Pamphlet description[edit]
Amsterdam is the capital of the worldwide diamond-cutting trade. The industry moved to Amsterdam from Brussels. The jewelers fled Brussels because of religious persecution. In 1586 interest in diamonds rose steadily, then declined. But with the discovery that South African mines were full of the precious stone, the diamond has remained the world's most popular gem. The largest diamond ever found, the 3,000 carat Star of Africa, was cut in Amsterdam.
