The Diamond Works Institute is considered a true South African diamond and jewellery expert. Established in 2001, it has evolved to be one of the most renowned diamond facilities in the region. Diamonds have been associated with purity, strength, wealth, virtue, power and most importantly love. Today, an appreciation for diamonds has evolved, not to only appreciate any diamond but to appreciate a truly rare diamond – The Diamond Works diamond.
In 1967, on the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzanite was discovered and to this day it remains the only known supply in the world. Estimated to only have 10 to 12 years left of mining reserves; Tanzanite is therefore considered to be at least a 1000 times rarer than diamonds and is rightly placed amongst the most precious of precious gemstones.
This marvellous stone has a unique trilogy of colour, radiating hues of violet and blue and some very fine quality stones will even have a fiery red! Similar to diamonds, tanzanite is also graded according to colour, cut and clarity. All customers can rest assured that all our tanzanite stones are graded for authenticity and originate from a conflict free source.
