THREE young visitors to Cornwall Gold proved they were a cut above the rest this Easter.

Taking part in the new family fun activity, ‘Pick a Diamond’, they each successfully found a sparkling lab grown diamond worth £200.

The heritage attraction Cornwall Gold decided to introduce ‘Pick a Diamond’ earlier this year where 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. A fun activity for all ages, ‘Pick a Diamond’ has proved popular with local residents and out of county visitors.

Two of the lucky diamond winners were regular local visitors Elysa and Lexi whilst Alex was on holiday with his family. They were each thrilled with their finds, choosing to take them home with them where they will decide how to set them.

Mike Taylor, managing director at Cornwall Gold explained: “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.”
