Is the Jewellery Business Dying or Thriving in Dubai? Darshan Shah Reveals the truth

“Jewelry has to add value to the person’s beauty — not take the beauty away from them.” — Darshan Shah

In this illuminating episode, we step into the shimmering world of fine jewelry with Darshan Shah, the visionary behind NGopalDass Jewelers. With decades of legacy and a keen eye for timeless elegance, Darshan redefines what it means to design with purpose, passion, and personality. His philosophy goes far beyond gold and gemstones — it’s about identity, emotion, and societal evolution.

From witnessing how jewelry mirrors social change, to revealing the business dynamics between boutique creators and bulk producers, this conversation is a rare gem. Darshan unpacks how the designer’s personal touch is disappearing in today’s high-speed market and why authenticity still wins hearts (and wallets). He also gives insider tips on how clients can truly judge the quality of what they’re buying — and whether “cheap jewelry in Dubai” is fact or fiction.

Whether you're a designer, entrepreneur, or simply someone who appreciates craftsmanship, this episode is a treasure trove of insight into one of the world’s most emotionally powerful industries.
