Howes Diamond Jewelers - We specialize in diamonds. Annually, we travel to Antwerp, Belgium, to buy diamonds directly from the diamond cutters. Antwerp is known as the diamond capitol of the world, because over two-thirds of the worlds supply of polished diamonds are traded here. Buying diamonds directly from the cutters eliminates the middleperson, allowing Howes Diamond Jewelers to offer you lower diamond prices without sacrificing quality.
