Procut Diamond Cutting Works
Where every Prodiam stone is made.
Procut DCW is the trading name of D and D Diamonds CC. A South African diamond manufacturing works in Bedfordview. A De Beers DBCM Emerging Beneficiation Customer since 2019. Every stone Prodiam Trading sells is manufactured at our bench.
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. We guarantee that every rough diamond is South African-sourced and Kimberley Process compliant.
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.
