HRD Antwerp stands as Europe's leading authority in diamond grading, jewellery grading and education — combining scientific precision with uncompromising integrity.
Our values
What we hold to.
Three words recur whenever HRD is described — trust, brilliance and authority. They are not slogans; they are the standard we are measured against.
Integrity
Grading is blind and independent. A report is earned, never influenced.
Precision
Every measurement is calibrated, documented and cross-checked before it counts.
Heritage
578 years of Antwerp craft, carried forward with modern science.
History & heritage
From 1447 to today.
Antwerp has cut diamonds since the fifteenth century. HRD was founded to give that craft an independent, scientific standard — and opened its grading laboratory in 1976.
