The Diamond Shoppe

There is something to be said for a truly beautiful piece of art. It inspires and uplifts—making it far more valuable than the materials used to create it. In the case of art, the whole is truly more than the sum of its parts.

The Diamond Shoppe’s approach to creating jewellery is an artistic one; taking great pride in creating unique pieces that are tailor-made for individuals. But choosing a diamond ring is not an easy task and there are several things you should consider when choosing that very special piece of art.

Origin

A Diamond Shoppe diamond is cut, polished and processed on-site in our technologically-advanced diamond cutting factory. The factory is available for tours and is a highly recommended experience for those wanting to fully understand the origin of the diamond that is going into their ring.

The team are some of the most experienced and knowledgeable in Cape Town with many years of experience in the industry, that can assist you with any of your queries, giving you a thorough understanding of your diamond and its history.

Cut

Here is where the fine art of the diamantaire is made visible. There are many different cuts of diamond on offer – each giving a stone a different look and feel. Understanding the difference between Round Brilliant, Heart, Cushion Cut, Pear, Oval, and Marquise will allow you to make a choice that you’ll love.

Setting

The setting of a ring is like the stage on which the main performer, your diamond, can truly be appreciated.  Whether it’s a solo performance with a single diamond or an ensemble cast with multiple diamonds – you can be assured that your ring will steal the show.
