Why a Botswana diamond

A diamond with a country behind it

Botswana is one of the world's largest producers of natural diamonds by value. Its diamond revenue has helped pay for schools, roads and clinics across the country.

50 / 50Debswana is owned in equal shares by the Government of Botswana and De Beers.
Kimberley ProcessBotswana has taken part in the scheme that keeps conflict diamonds out of trade since it began in 2003.
TraceableEvery Origin Africa stone comes with documents tracing it back to Botswana.

Who you'll work with

A Botswana team, a London design house

Origin Africa was founded in 2024 in Gaborone by a team with connections to Debswana and the Okavango Diamond Company. We look after sourcing: buying, sorting and documenting the stones.

Our partner Sylvera London is a bespoke jewellery house. Its designers and goldsmiths, working from Dubai and Botswana, turn your stone into the finished piece.

  • You deal directly with the people who source the stone
  • No retail middlemen between the mine and your piece
  • Aftercare from the same team once it's yours

Questions

Before you get in touch

Are your diamonds natural?

Yes. Every diamond we offer is a natural diamond mined in Botswana.

Will my diamond come with a certificate?

Your stone comes with documents showing its Botswana origin. An independent grading report from the GIA or IGI can be provided on request.

Where is the jewellery made?

Sylvera London's goldsmiths make each piece by hand in their workshops in Dubai and Botswana.

What happens after I send an enquiry?

We reply within two business days to arrange a private consultation. Tell us as much or as little as you like about what you have in mind; we'll take it from there.

Can I just see the stones before deciding?

Yes. You can start with a private viewing or a masterclass, where you handle loose diamonds and compare them before committing to anything.
