The experience with Mark Salomon was amazing from the moment we stepped into the shop, to the moment we’ve collected our hand written (!) diamond certificates. The advice and customer service we received was exceptional. The ladies in the shop were helpful, calm and read our needs and expectations perfectly. I could not recommend Mark Salomon Jeweller/gemologist enough and we’ll be back there for further purchases in the future.

Going to highly recommend to many!Posted on Melina GeorgeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Walked by this shop a few times and decided to go in to see their selection of jewelry. I like to buy small pieces on different trips and I was looking for a bracelet for myself. Ingrid was a fabulous salesperson, helped me by showing me everything she had that I was describing, assisting me to try on anything that caught my eye. I ended up with a beautiful dainty chain bracelet with a few small diamonds. I really appreciated that she tried to keep me within my budget! The shop gave me everything I needed packaged nicely for the tax free forms at the airport - which will be a breeze given the documentation package they provided me. Overall really pleased with this place and will be back on my next trip to Cape Town!!!
