    What a romantic idea! :)

    I was just about to suggest buying Cubic Zirconium as a cheaper alternative :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Me and my fiancee went over there, got brilliant service at http://www.philippe-harold-jewellers.be/ and came back with a flawless D colour diamond (the best colour) for half the price that it would sell for here.

    Here is a better explanation of the 4 C's... http://www.philippe-harold-jewellers.be/qualityCharts.htm

    Yeah right, cos £900 each for flights to Antwerp is a massive saving innit!

    And by the way, the diamond capital of the world is Kimberley, South Africa.

    Are you looking at flying on a diamond encrusted plane?

    Antwerp is a couple of hours drive from Calais, or 20 minutes train from Brussels after a trip on Eurostar.

    Think about it like this: Buy a diamond ring, get a free holiday to Antwerp. There's lots of galleries, museums, beer and Belgian chocolate!

    Put "diamond capital of the world" into Google. I think you'll see it disagrees!

    Google also says I can increase the size of my p3nis by 3.5 inches in a few weeks. Do you believe that too?

    Antwerp may do the majority of the world's diamond cutting, but Kimberley is the "True" diamond capital of the world.

    OMG for some reason I never even thought of an alternative to flying!! My apologies for my quick reaction (and ignorance to ground based travelling) to that. Please also accept my apologies for the apparent harsh tones in my previous post. It was not my intention to come across like that.
