Lesotho's NO.1 Diamond dealer.
We purchase rough diamonds with honesty, expertise and discretion. From inspection to secure payment, our process is built on transparency, fair pricing and the trust of the Basotho community.
A standard of trading the Basotho can trust
Six commitments that define how we do business — every day, with every stone, with every client.
Licensed Business
Fully licensed and registered with Lesotho Ministry of Mines. Operating within every legal and regulatory framework.
Fair Pricing
Offers anchored to current international market indices — transparent, competitive and defensible on every carat.
Honest Evaluations
Independent expert grading of clarity, colour, carat and cut, explained to you in full before any offer is made.
Fast Payments
Secure settlement on the same day of agreement, via trusted banking channels — no delays, no hidden deductions.
Professional Service
A discreet, courteous experience led by seasoned gemmologists who respect your time, your stone and your privacy.
Confidential Transactions
Every enquiry and transaction is handled with strict confidentiality, safeguarding your identity and your assets.
Purchasing natural rough diamonds
We specialise in the acquisition of natural rough diamonds sourced from across the Mountain Kingdom, evaluated with integrity and paid for fairly.
Every stone, considered with care
We assess each rough diamond on its individual merits. We consider carat weight, clarity, colour and natural form — then explain our reasoning clearly so you understand exactly how your offer was reached.
Carat Weight
We weigh every stone precisely on calibrated, certified scales — from sub-carat crystals to exceptional large stones.
Clarity & Colour
Each diamond is graded for clarity and colour under controlled lighting, with results shared openly with the seller.
Natural Origin
We purchase natural rough diamonds of all shapes — octahedra, macles, dodecahedra and broken fragments alike.
All Qualities
From gem-grade to near-gem and industrial, every parcel is considered and honestly categorised on the spot.
Every diamond is examined by hand, graded with discipline, and valued with integrity — because the trust of the Basotho is the only currency we cannot afford to lose.
From first contact to secure payment
A clear, six-step journey designed around clarity, discretion and your complete confidence at every stage.

Kingdom of Lesotho
The Mountain Kingdom
Rooted in the Mountain Kingdom
Grandela (Pty) Ltd was founded in 2026, in Maseru Lesotho, born from a simple conviction: that the people of Lesotho deserve a diamond trading partner who is fair, honest and entirely transparent.
We have worked alongside miners, finders and families across the Lesotho highlands — evaluating each stone on its own merits and paying a price that reflects true international value, not opportunism.
Today we are proud to be one of Lesotho's most respected names in rough diamond acquisition, trusted for our expertise, our discretion and our unwavering commitment to ethical trade.
Our Mission
To give every diamond seller in Lesotho a fair, honest and professional route to market — returning real value to the communities where these stones are born.
Our Vision
To be the most trusted diamond trading house in the Mountain Kingdom — recognised internationally for integrity, expertise and ethical conduct.
Ethical Trading
We deal only in Kimberley Process-certified stones, reject conflict sourcing, and reinvest in the Basotho communities that shape our industry.
