Antwerp's Most Brilliant

What is this label?

Antwerp’s Most Brilliant is made up of a selection of the most qualitative and reliable jewelers in Antwerp. They live up to Antwerp's reputation as the diamond world capital.

How does a jeweler obtain this certification?

A jeweler has to meet 30 strict quality requirements to obtain the Antwerp's Most Brilliant label. The certified jewelers meet the highest standards in terms of sustainability, safety, ethics, transparency, service and company stability. Naturally they also comply with Belgian economic, social and tax legislation. In short: these jewelers really deserve this certification.

How is the quality guaranteed?

An Antwerp jeweler can only obtain certification after an independent audit by Kiwa, an accredited audit and inspection organization, which visits every jeweler every two years to check for compliance with 30 criteria. Kiwa draws up a binding report after its audit. The City of Antwerp and the Antwerp World Diamond Centre will only grant the certificate if the jeweler obtains an excellent score for each of the criteria. Moreover the label is controlled by the professional jewelers federation Ars Nobilis and the Federal Public Service Economy.

As a designer it's an honour to receive the Antwerp's Most Brilliant label. This label is a recognition of my craftmanship, quality, reliability and customer service. Together with the Handmade In Belgium label - awarded by Unizo - this is the icing on the cake for me and my team.

We hereby certify on honor that we always work in accordance with all the criteria of the Antwerp's Most Brilliant quality label.
