Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Bought a pendant and ring with an over 1 carat tanzanite. They had to resize the ring. So we returned after lunch to pick it up trusting this place. Later, when we examined the ring and pendant stones together we see a complete different quality on the brilliancy and colors of both stones. I sent an email questioning that and they tried to tell me something else and ignored any emails afterwards. No responsibility and they do not care!!! I would NOT Recommend this place to ANYONE especially a tourist as they know the person would leave the country and would not notice any changes on stones.

The free tour about the Diamond mining process is quite short. They have nice product but it seemed like the staff were unwilling to help our group, despite multiple parties being interested in purchasing. Not only was staff hard to track down, their selection was extremely limited to choose from. Considering they are a retailer visited by what seems like a number of tour groups, it was a disappointing and a little shocking that they did not have a good selection nor stock of basic items such as chains.

For a jewelry retailer that sells precious gems, the service and selection was appalling, especially considering customers are there to spend hundreds, if not thousands of dollars on an item.

Hi F S. I'm very sorry to hear that you were not completely thrilled with your trip to Jewel Africa, but we appreciate you letting us know your thoughts and allowing us the opportunity to the address the points you have raised. Since your review, we have taken the time to look into each point individually and assess what we can improve to ensure we only offer the best experience possible. We are sorry you felt the diamond talk was a bit on the short side. It is always a challenge to ensure that we are able to time the talk to be concise and remain interesting, without going on too long. Our staff are available to talk through more of the interesting story of diamonds and gemstones when requested. We have made an effort to make it more clear to visitors that this is an option. We are very glad that the content was interesting and that you would have liked it to be longer. With regard to the stock level at the time of your visit. I believe we were in the middle of a revamp of the showroom, which was the reason for the construction sheeting covering certain areas of the store and coffee bar. Due to the movement of cabinets, we did not have all of our stock out on display, which is why the selection may have been sparse in certain ranges. We are sorry you didn't get the chance to find something to take home. If you are still looking for something we would be more than happy to do anything we can to find and deliver an article to you with a discount. Regarding the sales-staff: We pride ourselves in not being a 'hard-selling' environment. We want our guests to share in the love of African Diamonds, Gemstones and Jewellery, without sales-people pushing aggressively for purchases. It's part of the magic that got us to be South Africa's most loved Diamond and Jewellery experience. Having that said, we have taken your review of the staff most seriously and have been redoubling our efforts to make sure that our sales team are more available to customers, such as yourselves in the future. Thank you again for your review. We appreciate any information that can help us improve our experience. Please don't hesitate to reach out if there is anything further we can do. Kind regards, The Jewel Africa Team.

This is one of the stops on the Red City Tour Bus and it was on of the best.
There is a free tour and speech about how diamonds are made and every step of the process, this is very interesting to hear.

Went here based on recommendation from the hotel and from the Hop On and Hop Off tour-looking for a nice piece of jewelry. I ended up buying a pair of Tanzanite earrings and a pendant. I paid more than I wanted but it was more affordable than what I looked at a shop on the Waterfront. The salesperson was very nice and professional. I really don't know the monetary value of Tanzanite, so I have no idea if I was taken over the hurdles but I feel good I have a Tanzanite set that I like and is from Africa. I believe they give a tour about diamonds but I skipped this. After my purchase, I got a complimentary ride back to the hotel, which I thought was nice.

Our guide took us here after a rainy wine tasting day. Probably best not to go after several glasses of wine but we totally enjoyed our shopping spree. The sales people were knowledgable and seemed to enjoy their jobs, which was sharing beautiful jewelry with the visitors. We had not planned on purchasing but boy am I glad we did.

We had a great presentation through the entire process of how diamonds are made and then we browsed through the beautiful showcase!

Staff very friendly and extremely honest. The honesty came to the fore when they advised me to buy an item quoted by another jewellery company and also from a mix up with a pair of earrings.
The quality of the products on sale are of a very high standard and would recommend with hesitation.

I was so pleased to visit this establishment, I didn't intend to buy anything but relented, and have now a lovely ring, the staff were so helpful, but not at all pushy.

We like to bring some jewellery home from countries we visit and Jewel Africa was recommended to us. A car was sent to our hotel to collect us and take us to Jewel Africa for a wonderful experience. We were looked after by Vanessa Bird who was very knowledgeable, we never felt pressured into buying anything, but of course we did. She also recommended a diamond and setting for an engagement ring which our son had asked us to look at. On returning to our hotel we had numerous phone calls with our son which resulted in another visit to Vanessa to purchase the diamond engagement ring which I am pleased to say was loved by everyone.
