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.

I highly recommend Cape Diamonds! I requested a specific cut of diamond from them, and they were able to quickly source it for me before I had to fly back home. Petro was friendly, professional, and helpful, and made my jewelry-shopping experience an enjoyable one. And my partner and I love the diamond! High quality and a very reasonable price.

Cape diamonds provided us with an excellent service! They were really prompt with their quotes. Explained all the differences in metal and diamonds in a easy to understand manner and helping to find the perfect fit.  The ring was worth every cent, the value you get for it we couldn’t find anywhere else. The princess pincushion design from the fynbos collection is everything I wanted and more. A classic design with something different to look at from the profile. If you love florals you’ll love the fynbos collection! When trying the rings on at the location the offices where beautifully designed, the location was easy to find and parking was available inside which was an extra bonus. We would just like to give Olivia a big thanks as well for her lovely and professional service.

I had the absolute best experience with Cape Diamonds. Olivia was friendly, professional and extremely helpful in helping me pick the perfect engagement ring ( which my now fiancé is in love with). From the start of the process to the very end, I could not have been any happier. I’d definitely recommend Cape Diamonds above any other place

I have had the most consistent experience across multiple purchases. My fiancé's engagement ring and her wedding band have both been purchased at Cape Diamond but 7 years apart (yes yes judge to your heart's content). Back then and now the service, engagement and quality have not dipped an inch.Here, have 6 more reasons to consider them.1) Professional staff everywhere.2) Aware of the available products and which would suit our needs and taste3) Despite adversity, I, myself introduced by taking waaaay too long to take the final step they were still able to help us find the perfect update to the ring.4) Personal attention, friendly and kind5) They know exactly what is good and what should be avoided6) CON 👏 SIS 👏 TANT 👏I would never go jewelry shopping anywhere else.

I contacted Cape Diamonds on a whim during my time in Cape Town to customize an engagement ring. Although it took a little while to hear back from them via email, I was really happy they responded as we ended up going in person and dealing with Olivia who helped us finalize the ring design. The ring design was really unique and we copied the idea from another designer, so we were worried that it might not look as good as the ring we had in mind, plus we were up against a tight deadline. Olivia however worked with our deadline and budget to get us the ring before we left and WOW. The ring is honestly perfect and better than we could ever imagine. It looks the same, if not better than the ring design that we were basing it on. Cape Diamonds did an amazing job, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Rebecca assisted me with crafting a beautiful engagement ring. They were extremely responsive and very helpful. They have a wide range of conflict free and lab grown diamonds and a good selection of precious metals. The handiwork is superb and the prices are very reasonable.Need to add that I am living in the USA, and they were very accommodating and kept my ring for me until I could pick it up in SA.

I had an amazing experience with Cape Diamonds and the service provided by Rebecca! I'm from Europe and discovered this store online from home before my trip. Rebecca was incredibly accommodating throughout the process. I ordered my ear studs in advance, paid a deposit, and scheduled a pick-up for three weeks later.When I arrived in Cape Town, I went straight to the shop. The service was excellent—truly professional and efficient. I was thrilled with my pair of stunning 1-carat diamonds white gold ear studs, which are of excellent quality. Rebecca also provided me with an authenticity certificate for each diamond and assistance with detax, making the whole process seamless.Thank you, Rebecca, for your wonderful service! I am already thinking of my next purchase 🤩I highly recommend Cape Diamonds!Sofia 💎💎💎💎💎

Hi Cape Diamonds team,I’m finally leaving a review, now back in France after my 6-month internship in Cape Town! I just wanna say that the whole experience with you guys was beyond my expectations.I came in South Africa last September with the idea of proposing to my girlfriend, as I knew she would be visiting in November.Then began the quest to find the perfect view for sunset, and more importantly the perfect jeweler! I rapidly found Cape Diamonds and started discussing with Olivia, who took care of me through the whole process. Her expertise, kindness and time were very valuable and she did everything she could to meet my needs within my budget limits.We finally came up with the perfect ring, delivered on time even though I « challenged » Olivia with a very short timeframe. She managed to assemble a wonderful gem, the proposal was a magical moment and… she said YES! They also readjusted the ring for free to make it the perfect fit.We will get married in France next year but we will definitely be back in Cape Town to cherish those lifetime memories. Thank you so so much to Olivia and Cape Diamonds for assisting with the most important day of my life so far, you did an outstanding job✨PS: a lifetime warranty and service is included for every gem they sell, and they fully covered fees we had to pay to a jeweler in France for a slight maintenance job. The French jeweler himself was very surprised Cape Diamonds is lifetime-guaranteed, which makes it the perfect jeweler for your engagement ring😊

I ordered a solitaire engagement ring from Cape Diamonds and cannot fault them in any way. My sales consultant, Qaanita, helped me select the best natural diamond for my budget and kept me updated throughout the manufacturing process, right up until delivery. I live in Port Elizabeth, so her accommodating nature—especially when I requested changes—greatly eased my nerves about ordering online. If I could give six stars I would. I recommend them not only for their excellent service but also for their highly competitive prices.

We had a phenomenal experience at Cape Diamonds. We had been looking for rings in 3 countries and countless stores but had never found the right one. After 10 minutes with Rebecca we knew we had not only the right ring but the right diamond as well. The whole experience was very professional and enjoyable. I cannot recommend Rebecca highly enough and if you are reading this then go ahead and visit Cape Diamonds. You will not regret it. Our rings are beautiful and the team was able to expedite the process to meet our deadline. 10/10 experience.

Going through the process of searching for an engagement ring I searched on google and across Cape Diamond. The website was by far the most user friendly website I came across. For a newbie like me that knew almost nothing about the different types of metals, diamonds, clarity, etc this was perfect. In addition to the amount of detail that was listed on the website, they have a wide variety of styles and shapes.Once i found the ring i wanted, the process went so so very much smooth. I called there offices and arranged a meeting for the same day. I met Olivia and she explained everything perfectly to me. She guided and provided input on the ring selected. In addition, their offices were closing over the Christmas period and their waiting period is normally 3-4 weeks this would been extended to 5 weeks. She arranged that the ring be available before their closure which I was extremely happy about. I received the ring and I was blown away by the quality of the final product.Between the exemplary service and quality of the ring I would recommend Cape Diamonds any day of the week.We will definitely be using them for our wedding rings!!!

Fantastic jewellers! The whole process took a month and this was in busy season going into December. you can ask them to do it in a week with an additional payment.They have high quality and all the cuts of diamonds. They can cater for custom designed rings, they will send designs for approval.Best prices around in South Africa and I checked about 8 places. Amazing service as well for people that do not know that much about diamonds.you can do a part payment with Cape Diamonds and pay over a few months but you will get the diamond with the last payment.
