Our Workshop
Step into the heart of craftsmanship—where precision, passion, and artistry bring each ring to life. In our workshop, master jewelers carefully set each stone, polish every surface to perfection, and meticulously clean and inspect every detail to ensure the highest quality.
Craftsmanship
Almost all jewellery production in South Africa is automated, resulting in mass-produced items that often have a shorter lifespan than traditionally-made jewellery. Your engagement ring is the beginning of a life-long relationship, so choose your manufacturer very carefully.
At Cape Diamonds, we strive to hand- finish all our jewellery. You are welcome to visit us at our workshop.
Our Workshop Professionals
Our workshop hums with precision, skill, and artistry. It is a highly organised, professional environment where each element of the ring-setting process is executed with technical mastery and careful attention to detail. Most have completed formal apprenticeships or certified gemmology programs and bring years of hands-on benchwork experience.
The Setting Of A Ring
Bright, natural daylight-balanced lamps flood the workstations, ensuring accurate color perception and clarity. Powerful magnification tools—ranging from loupes to bench-mounted microscopes—are fixed near each jeweler’s bench, underscoring the precision required for fine stone setting.
A Hand-finished ring is a lasting gift of love.
Polishing And Cleaning
Once a ring is set, it undergoes a final inspection under magnification to check alignment, polish, and security. The piece is then cleaned, photographed under controlled lighting, and carefully packaged in lovely presentable box, ready to be shipped or hand-delivered to the client.
Our Team
The employees of Cape Diamonds work together as a cohesive team, each bringing their unique skills and strengths to achieve shared goals. As a result, we consistently provide excellent service, exceeding customer expectations and building lasting relationships based on trust and satisfaction.
