About …
South Africa and diamonds are an incredible duo that go back generations. From the splendour of the Cullinan diamond to the spectacular Tiffany Yellow Diamond, the country has a history of producing some of the most iconic diamonds ever known. But, the world’s concept of diamonds is changing and Cape Town is at the forefront of redefining South Africa’s place in the industry.

Innovation Is Key
Diamonds come in a variety of colours, ranging from blues to pinks to completely white. The colours that you are probably most acquainted with is within the white spectrum. “D” colour being the whitest that a diamond can become, mainly contributed by it being pure carbon and containing no other elements.
As we move down the alphabet, diamonds attain a slight tinge of yellow, increasing as we near “Z”. The yellow tinge within the diamond is due to the nitrogen molecules that the diamond engrossed during the forming process. When exposed to light, the nitrogen molecules absorb blue light and as a result reflect as yellow.
