Dubai Gold Souk or Gold Souk is a traditional Gold market in Dubai comprising of over 300 retailers selling everything and exclusively only in jewellery. Tourists haven’t really seen Dubai if they give this place a miss. At any given point of time, ten tons or more of gold is present in this gold market collectively. Although offering cheap but the best quality gold, retails stores in the Souk also offer Platinum jewellery and occasionally silver too. You can be assured of genuine purchases as the government keeps tight control over the quality of all merchandise. You will be charged as per the latest prices in the world market and according to weight of the gold, but workmanship charges vary. A great thing about buying jewellery in Dubai is that these souks do not have fixed charges for workmanship and if you bargain well you may get a reasonable discount.

The Gold & Diamond Park located close to the First Gulf Bank Metro Station is another fantastic place to buy jewellery in Dubai. To be on the safer side, it would be in the best interest of buyers to be wary of people selling gold jewellery on the pavements as it is most likely to be fake.

Diamond Jewellery: A Memorable and Impressive Gift

The lustre of diamond jewellery is unmistakable and never goes unnoticed at a party, event or occasion! Formed at depths of 90-240 miles below the earth’s crust, diamonds take billions of year to form under heat and pressure. Diamond is the hardest substance on the earth so it isn’t so surprising why the term ‘diamonds are forever’ was coined. Yes, diamonds last forever and have come to represent eternal love.

The Romans used diamond rings as a symbol of their commitment during ancient history. Diamond rings were specifically worn on the left hand on the third finger because it was their belief that the vein from this finger goes right up to the heart. Large diamonds were so rare that they were only associated with the rich, upper class or royalty.

In fact, diamonds are still so rare that one-carat good quality stone could need the processing of 250 tons of ore from a mine. Nearly 80% of diamonds extracted from ores are industrial variety and not suitable for jewellery.

Diamond jewellery is the first choice of gift for wedding, engagement, or anniversaries! When you gift a piece of diamond jewellery, you know you are gifting something incredibly precious created by nature over billions of years. Although having immense monetary value, diamonds together with their rich history, long-lasting qualities, brilliance and lustre do make for an outstanding gift.

The next is the colour as usually diamonds are completely colourless, but sometimes they come in all shades like pink, blue, yellow, brown, etc. The cut gives the diamond its intensity and brilliance and the one that has a great quality finish, symmetry, polish and proportion are really pricey. To put it simply as experts say, the four C’s of a diamond are very important colour, cut, clarity and carat.

Crafting diamond jewellery is a complex and skilful task and a master craftsman needs years of training and practice to perfect it. Dating back to thousands of year, today diamond jewellery is created by master craftsmen with the latest techniques and technologies and set in different precious metals like platinum and gold. Platinum is now the first choice as like the diamonds, it is a very hard and durable metal.
