Wholesale diamonds in South Africa, common questions
Where can I buy loose diamonds wholesale in South Africa?
Wholesale loose diamonds in South Africa are best bought direct from a cutting house with a trade account. Prodiam, in Bedfordview, Johannesburg, supplies wholesale loose diamonds to approved SA jewellers, dealers and manufacturers straight from a De Beers DBCM Emerging Beneficiation Customer. Trade pricing is visible behind login once your account is approved, and most of your competitors are buying from wholesalers who bought from a house like ours.
How do I open a diamond trade account with Prodiam?
Email Darren directly with your trading name, registration number, store address and a short introduction. We then run standard FICA / KYC, company registration, directors’ IDs, proof of address and jewellery-trade evidence. An optional credit application (two trade references and a recent financial standing letter) unlocks Net 30 and memo terms. Once approved, your diamond trade account goes live and wholesale pricing is unlocked.
Do you supply wholesale diamonds to jewellers across South Africa?
Yes. As a wholesale diamond supplier we serve SA retail jewellers, dealers and manufacturers nationwide, dispatching insured anywhere in South Africa. Buying direct from the cutter in Johannesburg means one step from the rough rather than several, so your margin improves. We are a member of the Diamond Dealers Club of South Africa, verifiable in the public DDCSA directory at diamonds.org.za/members.
Are you a wholesale diamond supplier or a dealer reselling stock?
We are the manufacturer. Procut DCW cuts and polishes the stones in-house in Bedfordview, and Prodiam supplies them wholesale, so we are a trade diamond supplier at the source rather than a dealer reselling someone else’s parcels. We buy rough at De Beers DBCM viewings in Johannesburg and cut it on our own benches to GIA Excellent grade. That is what lets us offer terms most SA wholesalers cannot.
What are the terms on a wholesale diamond trade account?
Once your trade account is approved, memo terms are standard and Net 30 is the default for vetted accounts. We also finance qualified buyers, because the supply chain is internalised at the Etkind operation, which lets us structure terms most SA diamond wholesalers cannot. Memo allocations begin after your first transaction settles. Wholesale prices are quoted per stone on application against current bench stock.
