Diamonds Are Forever




The diamonds on the left are the types of diamond that has made Antwerp in Belgium, the largest diamond trading centre in the world.



The Surat City in India is also famous for diamonds. Nearly a third of the Surat population of 3.5 million work as diamond-cutters and polishers.

Diamonds have taken such a hold over this city's imagination that even potato chips (seen on top right) are sold here under the brand name Diamonds.

In the world of fashion, ceremonies and functions, diamonds will remain one of the most sought after items. So would would the humble potato chips. Just as you would choose your diamond ring, you can choose the type of chips that you want; plain salted, lime or spicy and even in packs of your favourite colours .
