  • Cape Town, mother of nature and treasure home, I can't express how much I adore this beautiful country. During my stay in Cape Town, I visited the diamond museum, where Ms. Nadia, the knowledgeable and lovely guide, explained everything. I was amazed with all the information, and I had the opportunity to visit the shop, where so many unique pieces of art are available at various prices to suit all budgets. Thanks a lot for the tour and the wonderful staff.
  • We had an amazing time at the Cape Town diamond museum! Our guide Wesley was very knowledgeable and accommodating. He taught us about the history of diamonds and the importance of the four C’s when picking out a diamond. It is also very Covid friendly as the tour is private (just your group and a guide). This is an excellent place to go with your partner to learn about diamonds and pick out an engagement ring. However, that’s not the only jewelry they have to offer! I got a beautiful 14k gold table mountain ring with a small diamond. I highly recommend this experience if you are in Cape Town!
