What is Coster Diamonds all about

Visiting the city with a 400 year-old legacy of diamonds, calls for a visit to the premises of Coster Diamonds, which happens to be the first steam-powered diamond cutting factory in the Netherlands. The company was established by diamantaire Moses Elias Coster in 1840 at Waterlooplein. While others add feathers to their caps with various accomplishments, this company bejeweled its history by adorning it with none other than the Koh-i-Noor. Given its reputation and widespread popularity, Coster Diamonds had been called upon by Queen Victoria to re-cut the Koh-i-Noor, which only confirmed the master diamond cutter status of the company. From an era when diamond cutting was powered by horses to steam and now electricity, the company has been through it all and is nothing short of a legend in its industry.
