Prins & Prins Diamonds has a museum within a museum, which is worth visiting even if you are not a natural shiny lover. The warm reception and assistance might just entice you to walk out with a shiny item, because it’s always handcrafted to any of your desires.
A must visit when you are in my beautiful Cape Town.

We visited this "jewelry" centrally situated in the heart of Cape Town. The charming establishment is in the historical, authentically restored Huguenot House (circa 1752).
The welcome and service is warm, welcoming, knowledgeable, and honest.
Beautiful displays of hand crafted jewelry, diamond and other magnificent stones and rings, necklaces and earrings are on offer for reasonable prices. The museum in the basement is a memorable attraction.
If you are looking for a professional jeweler, look no further than Prins & Prins.

We were in Capetown for a long weekend and visited Prins and Prins to buy a ring to replace an old one as the stone had fallen out.
The service was so warm and helpful and in a beautiful old building which made it special. We loved Leonard’s opinions and knowledge (and humour) and he helped me to find the perfect ring and for far less money than we were expecting to pay. I am absolutely delighted and this is bearing in mind I felt sad about my old ring and wasn’t especially looking forward to this process. I am now planning to have my old engagement ring repurposed into an eternity ring and there is only one place I will be going to for the stones ...
Thank you for a memorable experience. Having visited a other establishments in CT this really was the best one.
