A FEW EXCEPTIONAL TRIPADVISOR REVIEWS

“We accidentally walked by [The Cape Town Diamond Museum] on our way out from the clock tower parking and stopped at the beautiful store windows of Shimansky and their breathtaking jewellery. We quickly got help and were invited to see the back of the store behind the museum where the diamonds are manufactured. From raw diamond to the finished jewel. The consultancy from Jean-Mari was extraordinary and the discrete environment without any pressure to purchase anything was extremely comfortable. Real expertise patience and very attractive prices finally made me buy a beautiful diamond memory ring.”

“Thank you to our guide (Joscine). We visited the museum which we found extremely interesting. At the end of the tour, there was no expectation or pressure to purchase but we asked to view the store. This was a lovely experience and after two days of deliberations, we returned to purchase a beautiful ring to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. This is such a beautiful memory of a beautiful visit to South Africa. Thank you!”
