Prins and Prins Diamonds

General information

Over the past 33 years we at Prins & Prins Diamonds have established ourselves as one of the leading Jewellery Manufacturers, and Diamond Merchants in Cape Town, South Africa.

Located in the grand and magnificent Huguenot House, visitors not only visit one of the country's leading jewellers, but are also transported back in time to when Cape Town was merely a 100 years old. The house was restored (as far as was possible) to its original state, thanks to the vision of the owner, Dr Petre Prins, who wanted to bring this magnificent home back to its former glory.

Visitors can enjoy one of several tours we offer:
1. A historical tour of the house, incorporating the exquisite original frescoes which survived to this day; the wishing well (one of only 3 home wells still in existence in Cape Town); & original Cape kitchen amongst others.

2. Our factory tours where you can get "up close" to see how our master goldsmiths and jewellers transform raw gold into spectacular masterpieces, and how our master diamond cutters transform rough diamonds into glittering gems! Possibly even try your own hand at polishing a diamond!

3. Our educational tour where you can learn everything there is to know about diamonds, tanzanite, gemstones, gold, platinum, mining, etc, etc, etc!

All tours can be scheduled at your covenience and are FREE OF CHARGE!

After the excitement of your intruduction to our wonderful and magical Jewellery world, you are free to browse our extensive collection of handcrafted, designer jewellery. Feel free to try on anything your heart desires, and adorn yourself with as many diamonds as you want.

In the comfort and privacy of our spacious private consultation rooms, our 4 qualified gemmologists are available for expert advice and guidance in the purchase of a Diamond, Tanzanite, or other Gemstones.

We look forward to welcoming you.
