Our house.

Shri Zaveri Lal arrived at Johari Bazaar in the summer of 1958, at the age of seventeen, with a small roll of drawings tied in a cotton cloth. He apprenticed for four years with Devkaran Sethi, the last of a line of Mughal-era karigars who worked only in polki and kundan.

In 1962, with a loan of eighteen hundred rupees from his elder brother, he took a two-table workshop in a side lane of Johari. He called it Zaveri & Sons, though his first son was born only eleven years later. The name was a wish.

For sixty years we have been making jewellery one piece at a time, by hand, in this city. We now employ forty karigars. Our eldest artisan, Manohar-ji, has been with us since 1974. Our youngest apprentice started last winter.

We do not chase fashion. We have not opened a chain of stores. We have resisted the temptation to cast, machine, or outsource. A Zaveri & Sons piece is the same piece it would have been in 1962, in every way that matters.

We make jewellery that your daughter will wear, and your granddaughter will inherit.
