Diamond Jewellery Cape Town – What You Need to Know Before You Buy
At Prins & Prins Diamonds, we believe that purchasing diamond jewellery in Cape Town should be an informed and meaningful experience. Whether you’re browsing exquisite stones or looking for custom engagement rings in Cape Town, understanding the essential characteristics of a diamond—the 4Cs—is vital.
The 4Cs of Diamond Quality
1. Diamond Cut
The cut of a diamond affects how it reflects light. A well-cut diamond will sparkle with brilliance and showcase ideal proportions, symmetry, and polish. This is perhaps the most crucial factor when evaluating a diamond’s beauty.
Expert Insight: Choose diamonds with excellent or very good cut grades. Even a high-carat stone can look dull if the cut is poor.
2. Diamond Colour
Diamonds are graded from D (colourless) to Z (light yellow or brown). The less colour, the more rare and valuable the diamond.
Expert Insight: For timeless elegance, consider D–G colour diamonds. They appear icy white—especially stunning when set in platinum or white gold.
3. Diamond Clarity
Clarity refers to natural imperfections like inclusions or blemishes. The scale ranges from FL (flawless) to I3 (visible inclusions).
Expert Insight: VS1 or SI1 clarity diamonds provide an excellent balance of visual appeal and value.
4. Carat Weight
Carat measures a diamond’s weight. While larger diamonds are rarer and more expensive, size can also be influenced by the cut.
Expert Insight: Don’t chase carat weight alone. A well-cut 0.80ct diamond can outshine a poorly cut 1ct diamond.
Popular Diamond Shapes
Your preferred diamond shape affects not only the ring’s appearance but also how large the diamond appears. At Prins & Prins, we offer a wide selection of cuts in our diamond jewellery in Cape Town:
-
Round Brilliant – Timeless and full of fire.
-
Oval – Elegant with a flattering silhouette.
-
Princess Cut – Modern, square, and full of sparkle.
-
Emerald Cut – Sleek with vintage flair.
-
Pear – Distinctive teardrop shape.
-
Marquise – Maximizes surface area for its carat weight.
-
Cushion Cut – Romantic, with softened edges.
-
Radiant – A fusion of brilliance and structure.
Each shape is available in unique settings to suit your style—whether you love classic solitaires, vintage halos, or intricate three-stone designs.
