Brooke (Hindle) Kay's sister-in-law and a friend were in Amsterdam at the beginning of the week and Brooke had asked me to show them around. They had booked a tour of one of the diamond factories here, so I went along for the ride. It's better than the one I usually do cause you get to ooh and aaah over diamonds and then try jewelry on to your heart's content.
I felt quite ashamed of my ragged, dirty fingernails when I was trying on 15, 000 euro rings.
My fingers didn't quite do them justice. It was fun though!
You could buy diamonds as well, the ones in this photo were on special. The little ones on the right anyway(0.15 carats). They were a steal at 251 euros each. But the big one (1.53 carats), it was a little more on the pricey side, just over 22 000 euros. I considered slipping it into my pocket, but the security cameras and the long-legged Dutch guide made me reconsider.

So happy we are not bling people. How much does it cost? Looks like fun though.
The bling? It's expensive. The tour? It's free. And there may not be such a thing as a free lunch, but they had free tea and coffee! I wanted to drink it just cause it's free. Then I remembered that even if it was free it was still tea and coffee.
