Hello!
This is Isaac from Antwerp Or
This is the Bitcointalk thread for Antwerp Or & purchasing diamonds with bitcoinIn here we hope to acquire some positive reviews from trustworthy members of this forum to build a solid reputation on bitcointalk.
Our shop which has been established in 1991 is currently accepting payments in Bitcoin for GIA-certified loose diamonds. It's a family shop, founded by my grandfather, and I am the third generation to participate in it. I am also a tech enthusiast, and with being able to offer people to buy GIA-certified diamonds in 3D and doing so with Bitcoin, I really try for our family business to stay ahead of the curve in terms of modern advancements.
We are one of very few websites that allows you to see your diamonds in 3D before purchasing them. You can really see inside the diamond even better than you would be able to with the naked eye, or even 10x magnification. It's some really amazing modern technology stuff. Every single loose diamond has its own video. We don't upload loose diamonds without them.
And every single loose diamond we sell online in 3D, is also a certified by the GIA, which is the most internationally famous and prestigious gemstone grading company in the world! We do not sell any loose diamonds without GIA certification.
We are located in Antwerp, one of the main hubs for diamonds in the world, possibly the #1 hub for diamonds. About 80% of the world's diamonds pass in this city at some point. You can also come visit us personally in the shop instead of online.
Shipping takes between 10 to 14 business days. People purchasing from the European Union pay an extra 21% in taxes, but
people purchasing diamonds from anywhere else in the world that is outside of the European Union can buy tax-free. You may be requested to pay some import fees to your country's local customs (if you are outside of the EU), but that is beyond our control.
We offer free insured FedEx shipping almost anywhere in the world! The only countries we cannot ship to are:
Central African Republic, Comoros, Cuba, Equatorial Guinea, Falkland Islands, Guinea-Bissau, Iran, Kiribati, Mayotte, Myanmar, Nauru, Niue, North Korea, São Tomé and Principe, Saint Helena, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Sierra Leone, Solomon Islands, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tajikistan, Tokelau, Turkmenistan and Tavalu.
Our prices are very competitive, comparable to the biggest online merchants. And better a vast majority of retail stores. For larger orders, we can probably price match even lower than the largest retailer (speak to us personally for larger orders as profit % is set to a fixed percentage of the ranges a vast majority of people would buy in).
We currently appear high in the first page of google when you search for "buy diamonds with bitcoin" and have recently made our first Bitcoin sale. Client was very happy. Since I considered him a Bitcoin enthusiast, I asked him if he had an account in here and if he did if he could post something nice in here. After all some confirmed members on this forum would give valid reputation to this. He offered to make some posts to make it seem legitimate, but I could not accept that. Also, people might think it's fake without too many posts and possibly think it's a fake account of ours or something.
We are connected directly to one of the biggest diamond companies dealing in cut diamonds in the world, if not the biggest. They do not sell directly to consumers and only to retailers and wholesalers and it requires special privileges which we have, our inventory available for sale between 0.60 carats and 5 carats is about
10 000 pieces on an average day. However, with diamond prices often being driven up by the many middle men, we are extremely close to the source. It basically goes [Diamond Mine] -> [Our source which cuts the mined diamonds] -> [Antwerp Or] -> [Client]. It's only two added steps from the mine to you, allowing us to sell for very competitive prices.
I am looking for someone reputable to be our first buyer from this forum so that we can get a solid long term reputation in this forum. We believe good business aside from great product for a very competitive price is also keeping clients happy throughout the years, as happy customers are the true cornerstone of a solid business. A solid long term reputation both in the physical retail store and friendly, top level service are ensured when buying with BTC.
I am willing to give a special discount to the first members here with a solid reputation who is interested in buying diamonds from us so that they may post a positive review and confirm to others here that we are legit. Our suppliers is no small time player, and only works with minimum orders of a certain amount. For this reason, I can only give this discount to purchases of about $6500. If you can wait a week or so however for at least one more order to pile up, I can give you the discount on diamonds worth about $3000 to $3500.
Extra added note: What happens to the BTC? We never accept BTC directly, but there is an automated, tested and verified online payment system, similar to BitMain's ordering process (should you choose cryptocurrency). Once payment is verified by Coingate, it is automatically converted to funds in Euros and we just transfer it to our bank account then pay our company taxes on it (almost 50% of profits), so from a taxes perspective, it's done exactly as it would be done with Fiat and gets fully taxed.
All of our diamonds are guaranteed conflict-free. All of our diamonds are guaranteed 100% natural as mined from the earth, NOT lab-grown, and NOT modified in any way. Our diamonds are imported, exported & sold legally (with a license to import & export diamonds), and fully taxed.We also accept payments in: Dash, Ethereum, Litecoin and Bitcoin CashSorry if this text was pretty long, I wanted to make sure I write down everything of relevance. Buying a diamond is not something super convenient, like a pack of gum. I thought the introductory explanation ois of significant relevance when considering such a serious purchase.
There is more info on our website,
https://www.antwerpor.comNot only do I see a potential market for this, but I also like Bitcoin. Of course I want good for my family's business and that is my main motivation, but I think by having more companies working with it, we can further solidify its strength. The more merchants accept it, the stronger it is.
Please note that we only answer phone calls during our business hours, which is GMT+1 11:00 to 19:00.
Live support is available during these hours as well, but we recommend using our contact form. We're pretty swift with e-mails. I answer them myself in detail will be able to give you the most satisfactory answers that way.
Feel free to bump with questions even if you are not interested in buying. A bump is a bump
