Diamond Dust. Nothing is forever The once flowering diamond trade in Antwerp is under pressure. Jewish traders are losing more and more ground to their Indian competitors. The film shows a surprising inside look into the very closed diamond world in Antwerp. Diamond Dust shows how the Indian diamond dealers changed the diamond world in Antwerp; the accent shifts from quality and expertise to quantity and the trade in diamonds as commodity goods. In the diamond trade trust and family relations are everything. The Indian dealers profit from their large extended families, which gives them an advantage as global players in this very international trade. Mining-corporation De Beers has given further priority to them to the disadvantage of the middle-men and small dealers.
