Certified Diamonds from a South African Diamond Dealer

Diagem helps South African buyers choose certified loose diamonds, engagement-ring centre stones and made-to-order diamond jewellery with direct guidance from David. David helps with the diamond choice and jewellery design; when the piece is ready, Diagem can deliver in person where necessary or ship nationwide by insured courier.

📍

Johannesburg Physical Viewings

Johannesburg clients can view and compare physical diamonds in a real-world environment by appointment. You are not judging only a supplier photo or video on a screen.

💎

Supplier Access & Buying Power

Diagem has access to major South African diamond polishers and international suppliers. If a specific diamond is available in the South African market, David has a strong chance to source it better through Diagem's buying power.

🤝

Design, Source, Deliver

David helps connect the diamond choice to the jewellery design, then guides the next step — Johannesburg viewing, arranged consultation, personal delivery where necessary, or insured nationwide shipping.

🔎

Due Diligence Before You Buy

If you already have a quote from another supplier, send David the diamond details, certificate and price before you buy. He checks fluorescence, cut quality and certificate details that can hide imperfections, then advises whether the diamond is strong value at market price. If it is a good diamond, David will try to source it or quote it at a better price. If it is not a smart buy, he will explain why the imperfections reduce quality and market price.

Ask David to compare your diamond options. Send your budget, diamond type, certificate or quote and he will advise the next practical step.
