Remember Your Trip Forever with The Southern Cross Collection

For centuries adventurers and sailors have looked to the Southern Cross to guide them through unknown waters, an iconic symbol to remember your ocean adventure to Southern Africa. Only visible from the Southern Hemisphere, the four points of this constellation are said to represent the virtues of justice, fortitude, temperance and prudence, while the fifth star leads you to your destiny.

Containing diamonds older than the constellation they represent; the wonder of this shining star formation is perfectly captured in Shimansky’s Southern Cross Collection. Each piece is masterfully crafted from the finest white, yellow or rose gold with breathtaking diamond, tanzanite and tsavorite combinations. Explore these and other collections in person by booking an exclusive diamond experience, whilst in Cape Town.
