17.000 diamonds on a gorilla skull at Diamond Museum in Amsterdam

in art •  8 years ago  (edited)



This cast, made to resemble a gorilla skull, is covered in 17.000 diamonds. You can see it at the Diamond Museum in Amsterdam, not far from Rijksmuseum.
Also here you can see many types of crowns on display, from different cultures, from diamond covered ones, to some made from beads.


On the second floor you can find a golden tennis racket and a ball covered in diamonds.

Also a great thing is that, if you buy a ticket to the Diamond Museum, it will be valid for admission at Coster Diamonds, where you can see a live demonstration of diamond polishing and an exclusive collection of diamond jewellery. I found out late about this offer, it was on the back of the ticket, and it was already closed.
I hope everyone is enjoying Steemfest and I am grateful that I got to attend. And I managed to find all the people that won a handmade woodburned keychain.

One of the few post about Amsterdam that's not about steem fest and quite interesting. Do you take these with a camera or a phone?

Thank you! I took the photos with my phone.

Then, you phone takes better pic indoor in these light condition then my Samsung Galaxy S5 does. I keep feeling need a camera for such. Thanks for your reply.

I used a Cubot x15. It takes decent photos. Thank you for your messages.

You're welcome. :-) I google a bit on your phone because it's not very common when I'm.
