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!
Great experience in cape town! Absolutely a recommendation to get more information about the beloved diamonds. The guide answers all your questions. Live insights about how diamonds and other metals getting processed. It dies not take a lot of time and if your thinking about to make your fiancé a present take the chance!

This was an outstanding experience on our entire trip to Cape Town! The tour was super informative and interesting. Our tour guide Nadia was super nice and just lovely to learn from. We ended up buying a necklace and it was so great! Highly recommend this entire experience even if you’re not in the market for any diamonds.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
We found this a really interesting experience. Gabi gave us a very professional but easy going and informative chat taking us through the natural and commercial history of diamonds, and the many exhibits. Some things we knew, but much we did not know or our understanding was corrected by Gabi, who patiently answered all of our questions. Seeing the actual work areas for the craftsmen making Shemanky’s jewelry was interesting too, although being a Sunday they were not working. The display area for all of their jewelry was amazing as well, but there was no expectation or pressure to buy. Definitely would recommend this as one thing to do near the V&A Wharf in Cape Town.
It is a beautiful and well structured museum. Small and elegant while providing very good information about the history of diamonds in general but further about the ones from South Africa. It only takes 30-40’ tour and it’s a great place to visit. Plus you can see a huge collection of diamonds replicas of course and if you can afford it buy one. Special thanks to Aloma, who was a great host and guide, and made my visit a wonderful experience.
