Diamonds in Dundas Square

Which building above is the most interesting in Dundas Square?

Cool eh; so inconspicuous and un-assuming.

Fact: diamond guys always want their windows to face north. North provides the best light for inspecting diamonds.

This was filmed inside the above building:

That’s Berge waving at the end, one of Canada’s premiere diamond setters.

This was back in 2009, when I was really into diamonds.

Remember Keith? He was the

30 Carats of Diamonds

Remember Keith, the ‘Official Gemologist of The Canadian Explorer‘?

Ha, YES, that was the best.

Here’s Exploring Diamonds.

Here’s a close up of the 30 carats of diamonds, and at the time that photo was taken, that maybe the largest total amount of loose stones together in Canada.

You want to always face north when inspecting diamonds, because that’s where the light is best.

There’s another little video here too.
