DIAMONDS SOUTH AFRICA

  • Clients are advised to do research relating to various types of diamonds. Please read all our diamond info as it will assist you in not overpaying for South African Diamonds.
  • Our studio is registered with The Jewellery Council of South Africa and has an account with the Gemological Institute of America (GIA).
  • All GIA-certified diamonds sold by Cape Town Diamonds contain a unique serial number laser-etched onto the girdle of the gemstone linking them to their unique certificate.
  • Diamonds with no serial numbers that you might find being sold on the internet by other dealers can have fake certificates.

The GIA certificate stipulates the diamond clarity, colour, cut, shape, and size or diamond carat. Certain combinations of these characteristics give the diamond sparkling hues of perfection, making the stone more desirable and valuable.

A Truly Stellar Experience at Cape Diamonds!From the moment I entered Cape Diamonds' website, I knew I was in for a unique and pleasant shopping experience. The site's user interface was incredibly intuitive, making it a breeze to find exactly what I was looking for.But what really sets Cape Diamonds apart is their unbeatable pricing. I did a comparison and found that their prices were 30% lower than Browns! It's not often you find such high-quality diamonds at these rates.As for the service, it was unparalleled. I had the pleasure of dealing with Anri, who went above and beyond to ensure my satisfaction. Her expert guidance and attentive service made the process enjoyable from start to finish. The customer service at Cape Diamonds is far superior to what I've experienced at Browns, making my choice an easy one.I can't recommend Cape Diamonds highly enough. Their combination of excellent service and unbeatable pricing makes them a true gem in the industry. 😁

On the evening of 7th July 2023 on the banks of the Black Imfolozi River and under a million stars, Richard dropped to one knee and asked me to marry him. It was completely unexpected and totally wonderful all at the same time. While I was squeaking and gasping for air, he pushed a ring into my hand. Once I had regained my composure enough to say "yes, a million times yes!", and we had moved back into the light, I looked at the ring. And I was squeaking and gasping for air all over again! It is absolutely stunning! I adore my platinum trilogy ring, and praised Richard on his exceptional taste. He reassured me that he had excellent guidance and service from Cape Diamonds, specifically Quinita. He was so grateful for how he had been walked through the process of selecting a design and a diamond, and an engraving. As he works overseas, this was all done online, and he was kept informed at every stage of the ring creation journey. The final step was the shipping to KZN for the big proposal (of course the ring had to be delivered at a specific date and time so as not to ruin the surprise). The whole process was handled so professionally and with such precision and empathy. Thank you Cape Diamonds for guiding my fiancé through such a jolly big adventure, and thank you for my INCREDIBLE ring! Honestly, if I had chosen it myself, I doubt I could have come up with something so beautiful and classy.

Recieved such fantastic service from Linda at Cape Diamonds. You have truly gone over and beyond our expectations. The entire process was seamless, and very quickly, but professionally attended to. From selection of diamonds to purchasing and manufacturing process and then fitting viewing etc...what a pleasure it was working with Linda and Cape Diamond. Highly recommended and will definitely be getting all our jewellery and custom designs from here going forward. I will be singing Cape diamonds praises for a very long time to come. Thank you once again.

Natalie and the team made the process of designing and procuring an engagement ring so incredibly easy - it was a pleasure to deal with them! Cape Diamonds facilitated the ring being couriered to Australia for me - without a hitch - and were open to any suggestions for design amendments as wel as responding immediately to any concerns.I wouldn’t go anywhere else for jewellery - the team is knowledgeable, understanding and supportive. Looking forward to my next purchase from the team at Cape Diamonds!

Excellent all round. I went in to get an engagement ring. The service was friendly and incredibly helpful. I had no clue what I was doing, and the staff guided me through every step of the process. I had a budget set, and they gave me all the options that I had within the budget. The final product was absolutely perfect, and most importantly, my fiancé loved it!! Highly recommended.

We bought very simple wedding bands, and we love how they turned out. After coming home, we realized that we wanted to change one ring, and the team from Cape Diamonds was very professional and courteous in giving us the rings we wanted. We can only recommend this jeweler, and when we visit Cape Town again, we will definitely go to them again.

I would definitely recommend Cape Diamonds! I had a custom engagement ring designed and manufactured and the end product is immaculate. They created the exact ring I had in mind and my fiancé loves it. The entire process was quick and easy and the service I received from Anri was exceptional. Another thing worth mentioning is that they offer GIA graded diamonds, which are graded according to the highest international standards, so you know your diamond is an investment.

Cape Diamonds should be your first and only choice! - Natalie walked me through the entire process and was an incredible guide in understanding everything to do with the stone as well as the ring I wanted, without Natalie's help I would still be a nervous wreck not knowing where to start. Thank you Natalie and Cape Diamonds for all your help. See you again soon 🙂

I am getting a new setting for my current engagement ring diamond. I am not in SA and have been working with Cape Diamonds via email. I am finding the process to be slow as the responses to my emails are taking about 5 days. I was hoping that the process would be quicker than it is. Hopefully it will be worth the wait.UPDATEI am working with Linda and the customer service has been amazing. Once we were able to move from email and handle all the communication through Whatsapp it has been responsive and great. Linda has worked with me to do a custom design combining the Watsonia flower design with a trilogy/3 stone ring using pear side diamonds. The CAD drawing and the animation of the design that Linda sent me is exactly what I am looking for. It definitely has been well worth the wait.UPDATEI received my custom ring and it is absolutely perfect. I couldnt be happier. The service was amazing and the ring is exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend Cape Diamonds and the customer service from Linda was outstanding.
