Black diamond rings have gained popularity in South Africa for their unique elegance and dramatic contrast compared to traditional colourless diamonds. Leading jewellers like Katannuta Diamonds offer bespoke engagement ring design and manufacture services, customised to each client’s preferences. They specialise in both men’s and ladies’ black diamond rings, sourcing stones from reliable South African suppliers and offering significant savings by adopting a wholesale approach[1].
Shimansky, another well-respected name, features a diverse collection of black diamond rings. Their selection includes solitaire, halo, and microset engagement rings, as well as statement pieces combining both black and white diamonds for bold visual appeal. The brand highlights that black diamonds are graded differently from colourless stones due to their opaque nature, typically classified as “Fancy black” with GIA reports confirming their colour and natural or treated status[3][4].
The Diamond Box showcases modern black diamond rings and jewellery, such as 9ct rose gold wedding bands and halo engagement rings, blending sophistication with the boldness of black gemstones. Pricing can range from approximately R8,999 for simpler bands to over R23,000 for elaborate engagement rings, often with significant savings compared to traditional high street pricing[2].
Customisation is a hallmark of many South African jewellers, with stores like Glamira and Afrogem allowing clients to select from various metals, settings, and black diamond shapes. This approach caters to a wide range of budgets, with prices varying based on carat weight, design complexity, and accompanying gemstones[5][8].
If searching for a truly distinctive engagement ring, options such as cushion halo or classic solitaire styles are available from premium jewellers like Jack Friedman, who can create pieces tailored to individual style and price requirements[6].
