Unlock the scientific secrets behind the world’s most coveted gemstone. Join Mr. Peter Bostoen, Senior Lecturer at HRD Antwerp (Europe’s leading authority in diamond certification), for an exclusive, behind-the-scenes masterclass.

Far beyond the glamorous sparkle, this training dives deep into the rigorous physics, crystallography, and optical properties that dictate a diamond’s true value. You will learn how expert gemologists scientifically quantify and analyze the famous “4Cs” (Carat, Color, Clarity, Cut) to differentiate natural masterpieces from synthetics and protect the global consumer market. This is a rare opportunity to view Antwerp’s most famous export through the precise lens of a scientist.

📍 Getting there: A short, 10-minute walk from the conference venue. Starts at HRD Antwerp Diamond Lab.
