Antwerp World Diamond Centre gifts a lavish diamond-encrusted “Freedom 250 to the USA, to mark its 250th anniversary

US President Donald Trump has welcomed a lavish, diamond-encrusted “Freedom 250” ring gifted by Belgium’s Antwerp World Diamond Centre (AWDC) during celebrations marking America’s 250th anniversary, according to media reports.

While Trump described the gift as “magnificent,” the presentation has also drawn attention because it comes months after the Belgian diamond industry secured tariff-free access to the US market.

As the United States celebrated its 250th anniversary, President Donald Trump expressed gratitude for the gold ring featuring 321 diamonds, 56 sapphires, 13 emeralds and six rubies, gifted by Belgium’s Antwerp World Diamond Centre.

US Ambassador to Belgium Bill White, who received the ring on Trump’s behalf, shared the President’s remarks on X.
