Why is buying direct from a diamond dealer cheaper?

Buying factory-direct removes the retail mark-ups and middlemen built into traditional jewellery store prices. As a dealer with 25+ years in the trade, Diagem sources and sells at wholesale-level pricing.

Does Diagem make bespoke engagement rings?

Yes. Diagem designs and manufactures bespoke engagement rings and fine jewellery to order, helping you choose a certified diamond and build a custom setting around it.

Where is Diagem Diamonds based?

Diagem Diamonds is based in Johannesburg, South Africa, and offers insured delivery nationwide across the country.
