THE HISTORY BEHIND THE DESIGN
A Symbol of Eternity
Originally known as eternity bracelets, these iconic pieces have been the symbol of endless love since the 1920s. The simple, yet elegant eternity bracelet features a continuous line of diamonds or gemstones, creating a sparkling band that wraps seamlessly around the wrist.
Modern tennis bracelets, necklaces, and earrings continue to embody this timeless symmetry, offering versatile elegance that complements any occasion, from everyday moments to life’s most celebrated events.
A CLASSIC ORIGIN STORY
The Tennis Bracelet Tale
While eternity bracelets were popular among the affluent in earlier decades, their fame surged thanks to 18-time Grand Slam champion Chris Evert. During the 1978 US Open, Evert’s diamond bracelet famously snapped mid-match, causing her to pause the game to retrieve it—a moment that captured the public’s attention and led to the style’s enduring nickname: the tennis bracelet.
THE DIAMOND STANDARD
The 4C's
Understanding the 4 C’s—Cut, Colour, Clarity, and Carat—is key to choosing the perfect diamond. At Mark Solomon Jewellers, we prioritise the Cut above all, as it unlocks the diamond’s brilliance and sparkle. Colour, Clarity, and Carat further define a diamond’s rarity and beauty, and our expert team is here to guide you through each element to ensure your selection is nothing short of exceptional.
WHY WE CHOOSE NATURAL
Natural Diamonds vs. Lab Grown Diamonds
At Mark Solomon Jewellers, we celebrate the enduring legacy of natural diamonds, treasures formed deep within the Earth over billions of years—a process as awe-inspiring as the diamonds themselves. Unlike lab-grown alternatives, natural diamonds hold their value over time, making them not only timeless symbols of love but also sound investments.
By contrast, lab-grown diamonds may share similar physical properties, but they are subject to rapid depreciation and lack the intrinsic value that defines their natural counterparts. Let us assist in guiding you when selecting a diamond that reflects your values, tells a remarkable story, and holds its worth for generations to come.
OUR PROMISE
Commitment To Excellence
At Mark Solomon Jewellers, we uphold the highest standards in every facet of our work. With over four decades of expertise, we bring an unwavering commitment to excellence and precision in each piece we manufacture.
Choosing Mark Solomon means choosing a legacy of quality, and the assurance that your diamonds and jewellery will be treasured for generations to come.

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.

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!!!
