Development
Advancing our vision and contributing to the industry
Safdico is constantly embracing change within the diamond industry.
Recently we have contributed to the development of the industry in Botswana with the building of the Diamond Technology Park.
Here, we are training and educating the people of Botswana in the entire diamond cutting and polishing process.

We are also cutting and polishing the world's most expensive rough diamond; The Light of Letseng, a 478ct white diamond from the Letseng Mine in Lesotho.
