Poggenpoel Diamond Jewellers
About Poggenpoel
We didn’t start as a jewellery store.
In 1998, Poggenpoel began in Johannesburg in the cutting and polishing of rough diamonds — working at the source, not the showcase. That evolved into operating as an international diamond tender house, buying and selling at a level most jewellers never see. Jewellery was always part of the mix, but over time it became the focus. Three studios later — Pretoria, Sandton, Cape Town — that foundation still shapes everything we do. When we talk about diamonds, we’re not reading from a brochure.

Why Poggenpoel
We actually care about your experience
Buying an engagement ring is one of the most emotional purchases you’ll ever make. Everyone here has a genuine passion for what they do — you’ll feel the difference from the first conversation.
No sales pressure. Ever.
We’d rather show you options and have a designer sit in to help you think through your ideal ring than push you toward a decision. The work speaks for itself.
Our prices are excellent
Twenty-eight years in the diamond trade means deeply established supplier relationships. That translates directly into pricing that’s hard to beat without compromising on quality.
We’re not trying to be the cheapest
When price is a jeweller’s only competitive advantage, something has to give — inexperienced designers, outdated equipment, compromised diamonds. We have no interest in any of that.
We go beyond the 4Cs
Cut, carat, colour, clarity — necessary but not sufficient. We advise on grading certificate accuracy, fluorescence, diamond lustre, colour hue, and laboratory pedigree. We work primarily with GIA and IGI certified stones — two of the most respected grading laboratories in the world.
Everything is made-to-order
Your ring should be yours. Our designers are among the best in the country and are genuinely excited by briefs that push them.
We manufacture on-site
Every ring is made in our own studio and quality-checked at multiple stages throughout manufacturing — not just at the end. Resizings are usually completed the same day, and a check-up polish takes thirty minutes.
We use cutting-edge 3D technology
We’ve invested in the best modern manufacturing technologies available — because the quality of the finished piece depends on more than just the diamond inside it.
We stand behind everything we make
If the finished piece doesn’t match what you approved, we’ll fix it. If we can’t fix it, we’ll refund you in full. We’ve been doing this for 28 years and we’ve never walked away from a product.
We’ll credit your old jewellery
Bringing in old pieces? We’ll give you as close to the gold price as the refinery pays us — no lowball offers.
What our clients say
“My husband and I recently had the pleasure of working with Poggenpoel Jewelry to create a special wedding band to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the experience.I highly recommend Poggenpoel Jewelry for anyone looking for a truly personalized and meaningful piece of jewelry.”
“We had an excellent experience working with Poggenpoel for an engagement ring and resizing a family wedding band. They were knowledgeable, transparent and very accommodating on both occasions, making the entire process easy and stress-free. We highly recommend them!”
“I worked with Storm on a 3ct ring and a 2ct necklace — an absolute joy from start to finish. The expertise, customer service and end product are world class. I’ve been recommending Poggenpoel to everyone and I’m already working on a third piece.”
