As a jewelry designer starting to work with diamonds, being awarded one of six fully sponsored trips to the World Diamond Fair in Antwerp, Belgium was a dream come true! So many diamonds everywhere... with over 85 vendors from all over the world showing their best and biggest! I had an opportunity to meet so many people and make so many valuable contacts. Everyone was so willing to share information and I soaked it all up like a sponge. I look forward to returning to this beautiful city! Thank you Howard Pomerantz for extending me this amazing invitation. I am forever grateful.

| Antwerp Diamond District- Red Tent Entrance to Fair. Very unassuming...but video security cameras were everywhere! $350 million dollars worth of diamonds are traded here every day! |

| There were amazing diamonds everywhere. Everyone was showing their biggest and best! The diamond in the lower right in this picture is 28.24 carats! I think the largest white diamond I saw was 52 carats. |

| Yellow Diamonds! Colored diamonds are becoming very popular, and their prices are increasing everyday! |
 |
| Chanpagne Diamond "Melees". These are one of the items I was shopping for, as I use these size diamonds in the pave diamond pieces I design. |
 |
| All Sizes... Shapes! If it is diamonds you want...whatever you need, whatever you are looking for...you can find here! |
