Last updated: 8 August 2024 

Shimansky’s new boutique is a dazzling feast for the senses with innovative diamond, Tanzanite, platinum, gold and silver jewellery creations. Plush carpets, marble finishes and sparkling displays of diamond jewellery beckon you in, where you can browse jewellery from one of the most revered diamond brands in South Africa.

IT JOINS THE LIKES OF GUCCI & BURBERRY

Shimansky’s boutique, with its exterior dressed in the classic Shimansky grey, sits fittingly in the strip of luxury stores like Louis Vuitton, Burberry, and Gucci. 

Shimansky, founded by Yair Shimansky 30 years ago, is one of the most recognised and revered jewellery brands in South Africa. The brand welcomes hundreds of tourists to Cape Town with its unique jewellery and experiences.

TIMELESSLY ELEGANT BOUTIQUE   

The showroom is a lush capsule of timeless elegance, with luxurious couches and chairs centred on a plush carpet, ideally positioned for focused, private consultations. 

Perfectly placed throughout the store and boutique space are magnificent displays of necklaces, earrings and, of course, rings.

Rare Tanzanite jewellery creations, Shimansky’s patented and famous My Girl diamond, bracelets, yellow diamond earrings and sparkling seven carat diamond rings sparkle in the displays. 

It’s a truly elevated shopping experience. Image: Shimansky 

DIAMONDS, TANZANITE, FANCY DIAMONDS & MORE   

The new boutique holds a range of jewellery options, from pieces that allow you to own your very first Shimansky creation, to dazzling one-of-a-kind jewellery pieces that are exclusively handcrafted.

Shimansky’s My Girl diamond is the first internationally patented diamond cut to originate from South Africa. The square cut with a diamond-shaped table reflects light from every angle. It’s a signature feature of Shimansky’s exquisite jewellery. 

Other in-demand pieces include the Millennium (two bands that delicately hold a diamond) and Evolym rings (named “my love” spelt backwards). Both are iconic designs that set Shimansky apart.

You’ll also discover Tanzanite jewellery, a striking blue or purple hued gemstone that is 1 000 times rarer than a diamond, and the stunning love letter to Cape Town, the Cape Town Ring.
