talent for creating two of the most beautiful icons in the
universe.

BRILLIANT, SCINTILLATING,
TANTALIZING, ENDURING

Rose d’Anvers was created in Antwerp, for a millennium a
pulsing, pioneering port city and Europe’s heart of culture,
learning, painting, and printing.

For thousands of years roses and diamonds have captured the imaginations of men and women and inspired and uplifted their senses.

A rose, superb in its natural beauty and understated elegance, traces mother natures’ delicate signature of swirling petals.

A diamond is nature’s maestro of light refraction and fire. For centuries, sacred, symbolic, interpreter par excellence of Antwerp’s exquisite craftsmanship, scintillation, and brilliant light refraction.

In a world marked by change and challenged by disruption, Antwerp’s Rose d’Anvers connects the eternal truths of integrity, beauty and resilience and the people who uphold these values.

Rose d’ Anvers sublime symmetry symbolizes reciprocal respect, love, and the recognition of each person’s safe space and security.

Rose d’ Anvers, a duet fo the rose, royal representative of nature’s floral treasury, and diamond, peerless pinnacle of nature’s synthesis of heat, pressure and the volcanic velocity of the primal elements.

Confronted with today’s hijacking of humility, respect and love by greed, egoism and aggression, Rose d’Anvers celebrates and connects those with grace, gratitude and generosity of spirit.

ANTWERP’S DIAMOND
HISTORY

Antwerp’s master craftsmen
perfected the geometry of
gemology, calibrating the angled
algorithms of a diamond’s light, fire
and brilliance to achieve the
shimmering radiance of a thousand
burning candles on an altar top.

The history of diamonds and the rose serendipitously crossed when master diamond cutters first pioneered the rose cut diamond shape.

Early milestone in the evolution of diamond polishing, the rose cut revealed the first hints of the hidden brilliance in a rough diamond.

Popular in the past and collected by connoisseurs today, rose cut diamonds represented the state of diamond polishing knowledge for several hundred years.

ANTWERP’S DIAMOND HISTORY

Antwerp’s city fathers long dedicated to tying the city’s fortunes to the noblest, aspirational qualities, included the rose in its coat of arms.

Thus, the city of Antwerp has proudly celebrated the rose and the diamond, the latter most recently through its “Antwerp Diamond Capital since 1447” initiative.

Rose d’Anvers is a magical link between nature and craftsmanship, between the rose and the natural beauty of the world and, man’s genius for the transformation of a building block of the universe into splendid, sparkling diamonds.
