Proudly South African beneficiation

D and D Diamonds CC (Reg. 2002/018001/23), trading as Procut DCW, is a proudly South African beneficiation company. We hold a Beneficiation Licence under the Diamonds Act 1986. Every rough parcel that arrives at the bench is Kimberley Process documented. Most rough is South African-mined, sourced through DBCM viewings, the State Diamond Trader, and SA tender houses; the source of any individual parcel is identified on the rough invoice and made available to the buyer of the polished stone on request.

Goods are sourced directly from De Beers viewings in Johannesburg, from tender houses in Kimberley, Wolmaransstad, and Schweizer Reneke, and from the State Diamond Trader. We maintain long-standing relationships with independent diggers nurtured over twenty years. The rough purchased moves directly to our cutting benches in Bedfordview. No middlemen. No markups. No provenance gaps.

Training the next generation

At Procut Diamond Cutting Works we take pride in providing opportunities to previously disadvantaged South Africans. By equipping them with internationally recognised diamond polishing skills, we secure their financial futures and contribute to the long-term beneficiation of the South African diamond industry.

This is not a marketing position. Maintaining a SADPMR-inspected manufacturing facility staffed by skilled SA diamond polishers is a condition of our DBCM EBC status. The economic uplift to the country is built into the contract.

What we cut

Polished diamonds from 0.30 to 10 carats, in many shapes, colours, and clarities. Every stone polished to GIA Excellent / AGS Ideal cut grade, the highest cut grade available, which maximises brilliance, fire, and scintillation. We also offer repolishing services to GIA specification or to customer requirements, and recutting of inherited or insurance-replacement stones.

Why this matters for what you buy

Most diamond buyers in South Africa transact through layers of wholesalers, each adding a margin. When you buy from Prodiam, you buy from the manufacturer. We cut them. You pay wholesale. That is a logistical fact, not a marketing line. Every step from the De Beers viewing room to your hand happens inside the Etkind operation.

The official Procut DCW website

Procut DCW maintains its own manufacturing-side website at procutdcw.co.za. That site is the cutting works seen from the bench: rough-buying, the cutting floor, the SADPMR audit trail, the EBC contract. This page (prodiam.co.za/procut/) is the same operation seen from the retail side, where the polished stones meet the customer. Same legal entity, same address, same director, different vantage point.
