A Father’s Vision, A Son’s Devotion

Learn more about our mission, vision, and the team behind our success.

What set Nick Rideal apart wasn’t just his skill with diamonds — it was his unwavering patience and quiet determination.

Born in the UK and raised in South Africa, he brought with him a quiet strength and an eye for beauty shaped by both worlds. He spent hours at the bench, studying each stone as if it had a story to tell.

Outside the workshop, Nick found joy in horse racing — owning a few horses himself. It was a passion he took to heart, drawn to the elegance, spirit, and discipline of the sport.

Clients often said they didn’t just buy a diamond from him — they trusted him with a moment that would last forever. Every cut, every setting, was done with care, because for Nick, this wasn’t just jewelry. It was his way of honoring love, legacy, and the lives those pieces would touch.

Since 1982

Founded in 1982 in Cape Town, South Africa, lovefinejewelry began as a small workshop where a young diamond cutter—driven by passion and precision—refined his craft. With years of dedication and an eye for detail, he quickly earned a reputation for exceptional quality and timeless design. What started as a modest operation grew into a celebrated name in fine jewelry, built on a foundation of artistry, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

The legacy he built has since been passed down to his son, who continues to honor that vision with the same devotion to craftsmanship and beauty. Though the hands have changed, the heart of the company remains rooted in the same values.

Today, lovefinejewelry upholds those standards through an exclusive collection of fine jewelry that celebrates life’s most precious moments. With personalized service, we guide our clients in finding the perfect piece—whether it’s an heirloom to be passed down through generations or a contemporary design that reflects modern elegance.

At lovefinejewelry, we don’t just create jewelry—we craft memories that last a lifetime.
