The creative craft of jewellerym­aking has been part of humankind’s existence for eons – we have always loved to adorn ourselves with beautiful things. Civilizati­ons across the world have always had a reverence for jewellery, from the pharaohs of Ancient Egypt who were buried in tombs alongside their precious jewels because they did not want to part with their riches when leaving for the afterlife, to the European monarchs – all richly dressed in crowns with rubies and sapphires, and broaches twinkling with diamonds – whose portraits hang on the walls of museums,.

The admiration for a piece of finely crafted jewellery lives on to this day. Purchasing any item of jewellery, whether it be a necklace or an engagement ring, is always a special occasion, and one that should not be rushed – you want to be in love with this piece of jewellery forever.

The experience of browsing through gemstones, trying on finely crafted jewellery, and purchasing exquisite creations is taken to a new level in Cape Town.

One of the most exclusive jewellery creators in the country can be found in the historic Bo-kaap area of the Mother City. The Diamond Gallery offers a personal shopping experience to all those who are looking for stunning, unique pieces of diamond and Tanzanite jewellery. Arranged by booked appointmen­ts only, shopping at The Diamond Gallery affords you an exclusive experience with the store’s knowledgea­ble experts who will personally show you the distinctiv­e collection­s of gems and designs.

A special feature of The Diamond Galley is its Tanzanite emporium. The Diamond Gallery also offers private guided diamond tours to all visitors to give insight into the history of diamonds and Tanzanites. It is the only company to offer a private experience like this in Cape Town.

All of the stones at The Diamond Gallery, both loose and set in designs, are conflictfr­ee and of the highest quality.

When purchasing a piece of jewellery, you want the experience to be one of exclusivit­y. The Diamond Gallery offers just that.
