Description

Depart from Buitengracht Street, Cape Town's city center, with a refreshment in hand to embark on a journey to explore an authentic diamond and gemstone workshop.

South Africa boasts an impressive jewelry industry and is one of the world's leading destinations for purchasing gold, gems, and diamonds. For this reason, it's possible to find uncut precious gems and gemstones worked into rings, necklaces, earrings, or other pieces.

During this free tour, we'll discover exactly how jewelers work to create stunning pieces in Cape Town. We'll explore their workshops and witness the innovative techniques used daily to create these works of art.

We'll also learn fun facts about diamonds and other precious rocks, like the famous tanzanite. You'll discover details like where these gems were first unearthed, the remarkable sizes they can attain, and insights into their market value. Plus, you'll explore the intriguing question of whether these gems always possess the same color. By the end of this tour, you'll be an expert in the world of precious gemstones!

We'll finish our 30-minute free tour of the diamond and gemstone workshops and we'll give you a special gift for you to take home. Before bidding farewell to the jewelry shop, you'll also have the opportunity to explore the exhibition or browse the store's offerings.
