A really interesting bit of history and closer look at what it takes to shape a diamond to show off its true beauty. Staff are knowledgeable and friendly. Entrance is R100 pp or look out for complimentary tickets available in their website. There appear to be a limited number. Your tour ends off in the Shimansky jewellery shop. So many beautiful pieces to choose from. Best you start saving now

Diamond Museum- Shimansky- V&A Waterfront. With complementary visit voucher, witnessed the hardest substance of nature & South Africa's history as the largest diamond producer in world. Mining, processing, policing etc explained by the staff. Diamond-Natural Diamond cut-Artificial Diamond & the cut combined result in brilliant final product. Total Internal Reflection of light is the key. 57 facet round brilliant cut is the classic one.

What a lovely informative museum. Had to cut it short due to the tantrums of my very adult baby (my boyfriend); but I would've sold my big toe in order to complete the tour and get to see the diamond cutting process. Our guide was so pleasantly kind and her voice was like sweet rain. Loved it ️. Will return, no doubt about it!

Amazing museum which is a guided tour with a knowledgeable guide. You can see the factory at the back at work which is nice and there’s a shop at the end. Never know whether you’re expected to buy, but it’s fun to browse anyhow!

It's a sales pitch really. The guide didn't do anything exceptional but show off her memorialisation skills of the information we could easily read. Then gave us a sales pitch at the end.

Situated in the bustling heart of the world-famous Clock Tower precinct and Gateway to Robben Island at the Waterfront, the Cape Town Diamond Museum pays tribute to the world’s most precious gem, the diamond. Witness a 3 billion year old story unfold from a diamond’s formation to the final polished stone. The Cape Town Diamond Museum is a non-profit organisation dedicated to creating a new appreciation for diamonds. A gift from Shimansky to the city of Cape Town. Diamonds are the world’s most desirable treasure – and the oldest, with origins over three billion years ago. South Africa’s contribution to that history changed the world diamond industry forever. This South African museum is simply a must see. SA’s Cape Town Diamond Museum pays homage to this extraordinary story, with insight and originality, sophistication and style. Make sure to include the elegant, South African Diamond museum as part of your visit to the V&A Waterfront, Cape Town. No trip to the city is complete without a visit to the South African Diamond Museum in Cape Town, located at the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront. No trip to the city is complete without a visit here.

Visited last February and had a wonderful time visiting this beautiful museum! We were shown through the museum by a guide and she was so friendly and had so much knowledge. Very interesting to take a closer look into this part of history of South Africa. The place to go when in need of a wedding ring! :D
