Heritage attraction’s diamond picking activity proves to be a gem of an experience

Three young visitors to Cornwall Gold proved they were a cut above the rest this Easter by taking part in the new family fun activity ‘Pick a Diamond’.

They each successfully found a sparkling lab grown diamond worth £200.

A well-established heritage attraction, Cornwall Gold decided to introduce ‘Pick a Diamond’ earlier this year where, for just £5, visitors can sift around in the soft sand to pluck out either a dazzling cubic zirconia or a lab grown diamond.

Once chosen, the gem is graded by the Cornwall Gold team who reveal whether they have picked a cubic zirconia or a diamond.

Mike Taylor, managing director at Cornwall Gold, said: “As a free to enter attraction we always look for fun, imaginative ways to engage with our visitors whilst giving them value for money. Our ‘Pick a Diamond’ offering does just that. It’s interactive and you honestly don’t know whether you’ll pluck a pretty cubic zirconia or a £200 diamond. And whilst we all know memories fade, diamonds are forever so we love knowing that the lucky winners will always be reminded of their time with us.”
