What to do and see in Antwerp, Flanders: The Best Gift & Specialty Shops

December 14, 2021 Trinity Boughner

Lively Antwerp is a hidden gem. Its medieval streets, Renaissance monuments and vibrant nightlife tend to be overshadowed by its reputation as center of the diamond trade and as the world's fifth-largest port. Biking is a popular choice for getting around this stylish Flemish city. See thousands of Old Masters at the Royal Museum and Rubens House. Experience the bustle of life at the Grote Markt. Marvel at the art and architecture of the still unfinished Cathedral of Our Lady, started in 1351.

After a long while, I went back to Geretti to have some pieces of family jewellery redesigned and refitted. Just like last time, the service was great - Marc is very customer friendly - and the final product was exactly what I asked. My ring turned out even better than I imagined. Will be my go to place for any future fine jewellery advice and purchases! Thank you Marc!

Hearts And Arrows Jewellery

Reviewed By Lhow19_Gy - Galway, Ireland

We first met with Viken and Asif in 2009, I can't believe it is ten years ago now! My husband and I were shopping around for an engagement ring in Antwerp. We emailed all of the reputable jewellers indicating our budget and what we wanted to see in advance. We called here first and Viken and Asif were very genuine and not at all pushy. We left and visited the other stores but at the end of the day the choice was simple. Hearts and Arrows had the best quality and value for our money. We returned and Viken helped us choose the band in which to set the diamond, We then accompanied him to watch the diamond being set, poilished and sized. It was a lovely experience and one I remember fondly. I contacted Viken a year later for the wedding band which he arranged to have sent to me, The wedding band was stunning it was sized and matched perfectly with the engagement ring and I was thrilled with the value. Over the years we have bought a number of pieces from Viken to mark various occasions, all of which I have been delighted with. I have had my insurance valuations carried out each year and the quality has been verified. I highly reccomend Hearts and Arrows for value, quality and service.

Fantastic shop! Really great support all the way from picking the stones to deciding on the final designs. I visited twice in a period of 3 years. In both cases, Itzik and Lora spent so much time helping and educating every step of the way and honestly I can’t imagine buying diamonds from anyone else. Highly recommended and definitely an experience not to be missed!

My fiancé and I met Mr. Poussenier one year ago when we decided to commission the making of our wedding rings. I am Italian, I studied the goldsmith's art and I worked for several years in the goldsmith's field and I know very well what is hidden behind a work banquet, so I had no intention of entrusting such an important project to anyone else but a master of excellence. They are still rings that we will wear for a long time! But our trip to Antwerp did not disappoint my expectations. Quite the contrary. As soon as we entered, we were overwhelmed by the smiles and attention of Mr Pousseinier, who followed us step by step in the choice not only of the ring suitable for our needs and personality but also according to skin tone and finger size. I have rather small hands and having chosen a semi eternal ring the choice of the right carat was essential for the discreet and refined result I was looking for. For my fiancé, then, he created a masterpiece - a solid, powerful and outstanding wedding ring. I have to be honest, in this case: at first, I was not satisfied with the choice, but we had only seen a prototype to be adapted to my fiancé's choices. The finished wedding ring was all a discovery and we couldn't be happier. It's not over. By my mistake, I requested the wrong size and at the time of the trial, the ring didn't fit. I panicked. Well, the panic lasted just a few hours; as soon as we got back to the atelier, I was reassured. My wedding ring would be fixed in a few days. And again, surprise! I was afraid that the alteration would change the look of the band, instead - as a master as he is - he added a few grams of gold and the final result is amazing. No one would say that I made the sash resize. And when we talk about diamond rings it is not always taken for granted. Even pricewise he is unbeatable. All I can do is recommend him. He made us extremely happy and grateful.
