Who are we
At the heart of CS Diamonds is not only its founders but also a committed, values-driven team, a collective of professionals who believe deeply in the company’s vision and uphold its principles of honesty, transparency, and quality.
Generational knowledge remains a cornerstone of the business. Today, the next generation follows in the footsteps of the founders, learning the trade firsthand while introducing new technologies, systems, and efficiencies to strengthen and refine the tender process.
Innovation shapes the future. Integrity remains the foundation.
CS Diamonds is not merely a diamond trading company. It is a legacy carried forward with responsibility and vision.
A Legacy built on Integrity
Founded in 1998 in the historic diamond city of Kimberley, CS Diamonds (Pty) Ltd began with a simple yet powerful partnership, two brothers-in-law combining complementary strengths. One brought firsthand mining experience and deep production knowledge. The other contributed financial expertise and strategic discipline.
What began with five offices and a fully manual tender process, paperwork prepared by hand, and transactions overseen with meticulous care has evolved into one of South Africa’s respected diamond tender houses.
Through perseverance, transparency, and principled leadership, the founders earned something far more valuable than growth: trust.
Exceptional Relationships
Over more than 28 years, CS Diamonds has cultivated long-standing and trusted relationships with local diamond producers throughout South Africa, as well as with buyers across the globe, including Israel, India, Belgium, the United Arab Emirates, the United States, Russia, and beyond.
These relationships are built on mutual respect, consistency, and transparency. Even amid challenging global and economic conditions, CS Diamonds has maintained active, resilient international trade.
The company’s thorough selection process, inviting only top-tier, licensed dealers, ensures a competitive and fair bidding environment aligned with market realities while consistently maximising value for producers.
Enduring partnerships are not incidental. They are the result of consistent integrity.
