BRUSSELS — In the Belgian capital during the ceremonial celebration of the 250th anniversary of US independence, representatives of the Antwerp World Diamond Centre (AWDC) handed over a unique jewelry gift for President Donald Trump to the American side. The exclusive ring, inlaid with 321 natural diamonds and 75 other precious stones in an 18-karat gold setting, is intended to symbolize the historical trade relations and strong ties between Antwerp and the US — a key export market for Belgian diamonds for decades.
