Diamond earrings · matched pairs · Bedfordview, Johannesburg
Diamond earrings in South Africa, matched pairs made to order.
Diamond earrings from Prodiam start with the pair: two certified natural diamonds of one shape, one colour and one clarity, matched on our Bedfordview bench and set as studs, halo studs, drops or hoops in the metal you choose.
Some stones we cut ourselves, as a De Beers beneficiation cutting house; most we source to order from the certified trade at a landed rand price with VAT and insured delivery. Below: pieces from the bench, the settings we can make, and real matched pairs on the bench today, priced.

Diamond earring settings: examples we can make
Diamond earrings are made to order on our Bedfordview bench, so there is no tray of finished pairs to photograph. These are rendered examples of standard settings, in the metal of your choice: point at one and say that, with this pair.
Four-claw studsThe everyday pair. Nothing to catch.
Six-claw studsThe classic crown setting, in miniature.
Bezel studsA smooth rim all round. Sleeps in.
Martini studsThree claws, a tapered cone. Sits low.
Halo studsA ring of small stones. Reads twice the size.
Princess studsSquare stones, sharp corners.
Pear dropsA stud above, a pear hanging below.
These are examples, not a catalogue
We are a working bench, so we can make essentially anything: a design off this page, one of these changed, a piece you have seen elsewhere, a drawing, a photograph, or an heirloom reset into something new. Bring the idea in whatever form you have it and we will tell you what it takes and what it costs, before any work starts.
Message Prodiam on WhatsAppor send it through the contact page
Renders are illustrations of a design, not photographs of a piece in stock. The stones in the pictures are stand-ins; yours is the one you choose, certified, with its own report.

Diamond earrings: common questions
How much do diamond stud earrings cost in South Africa?
The two stones set most of the price, then the setting and the metal. On 2 September 2026 the matched pairs on our bench ran from R14 200 for two quarter-carat stones to R146 400 for two one-carat stones, VAT and insured delivery included, before the setting. We quote the setting and posts as a separate, firm rand figure before any work begins, so you see the stones and the making priced apart.
Can you match two diamonds into a pair?
Yes, that is the job. A pair reads as one when the two stones share a shape, a colour grade, a clarity grade and a cut grade and sit within a few percent of each other in weight; we select them that way from the certified trade, or from stones cut on our own bench, then check them side by side under loupe before they are set.
The grades come from the GIA or EGL report on each stone; the match is ours.
Do you make diamond earrings for men?
Yes. Single studs and matched pairs for men are made the same way, most often a round brilliant between a quarter and one carat in a four-claw, bezel or martini setting with a screw back. Tell us whether you want one stud or a pair when you brief us.
Can I buy diamond earrings from Cape Town or Durban?
Yes. Buyers outside Johannesburg choose the pair from the stone reports and a live video viewing, approve the setting and metal by WhatsApp or email, and receive the finished earrings by insured overnight courier anywhere in South Africa, with the certificates and an insurance valuation.
Are the diamonds certified?
Every stone is a natural diamond with a GIA or EGL report, and the report travels with the earrings. You can verify a GIA report number yourself on the GIA report-check service before you settle.
The Prodiam promise
The quote is free. So is walking away.
Ask us to quote any stone or ring and you get a firm figure in writing within 24 hours, VAT inclusive, with the trade-offs explained in plain English. It costs nothing and commits you to nothing: no deposit, no account, no follow-up campaign. Worst case, you learned the honest number and bought elsewhere better informed.
We actually want you to compare. Buying well means weighing options; it is how we buy rough at the viewings, and it is how you should buy a diamond. Bring any written quote and we will price it like-for-like, and if we cannot beat it, we will tell you so bluntly. Either way you leave knowing where you stand.
One more thing worth knowing: this site shows a selection of our stock, never the full range. Far more passes across the bench than we ever list, so if the exact stone or design you want is not here, ask us for it. It is usually one message away.
