点评:This place was recommended to us by Riano at the Blackheath Lodge( which we strongly recommend). And since I’m a big fan of crystals and precious stones, we decided to go and visit this museum. The only negative comment would be that it is harder to find once you reach the location. It is on the second story and it is inside a little store but it is well marked with a big black diamond shape once you find it. A little stand free sign with an arrow would be a great asset to find this location. Once we got there, the tour was free and our tour guide Nadya was excellent and very attentive to details from how diamonds were formed underground ,how they end up at the surface of the Earth to why our wedding rings worn on the left hand, several little details that made this tour very exciting . However, this tour is not for children. It is very informative and would probably be boring for younger children. The tour takes you through the whole process of how diamonds are cut and precious stones are handled to the little details like angles of cutting ,facets and why diamonds are so valuable. She also explained why do some diamonds have certain colours and some not. To complete the tour you end up in their showroom where there are thousands of jewellery items with diamonds in them and different precious stones that you can look at try on and even purchase if you feel like it. But it’s important to mention that there is no hard selling tactics going on. They are very open-minded very friendly very informative, but no sales pressure. I would strongly recommend this if you love precious stones.
翻译:这个地方是布莱克希思旅馆(Blackheath Lodge)的里亚诺(Riano)推荐给我们的(我们强烈推荐这家旅馆)。由于我非常喜欢水晶和宝石,所以我们决定去参观这家博物馆。唯一的缺点是到达目的地后比较难找。博物馆在二楼,在一家小商店里,但找到后会有一个很大的黑色菱形标志。一个带箭头的小免费标志对找到这个地方很有帮助。我们到达后,导游纳迪亚(Nadya)非常优秀,她非常细心地讲解了钻石是如何在地下形成的,它们是如何最终到达地球表面的,以及为什么我们的结婚戒指戴在左手上,这些小细节让这次旅行非常精彩。然而,这次旅行不适合儿童。它内容丰富,对于年幼的孩子来说可能会很无聊。这次旅行将带您了解钻石切割和宝石处理的整个过程,以及切割角度、刻面以及钻石为何如此珍贵等细节。她还解释了为什么有些钻石有特定的颜色,而有些则没有。参观结束后,您会来到他们的展厅,那里有成千上万件镶嵌着钻石和各种宝石的珠宝,您可以亲眼看看,试戴,如果喜欢,甚至可以购买。值得一提的是,这里没有强行推销。他们非常开明友好,知识渊博,但不会施加任何销售压力。如果您喜欢宝石,我强烈推荐这家店。
