Zaveri Bazaar, Mumbai

Zaveri Bazaar, Mumbai

For all the shopaholics at heart, Mumbai is just the place to be. Filled with age old markets, weekly bazaars and high-end air conditioned stores, Mumbai is a paradise for shoppers of all stripes.

Cramped with people in small alleys and dotted with shops all along the road, the Zaveri Bazaar, is a must visit if you love jewellery. Located just north of the Crawford Market, the Zaveri Bazaar, is one of the most famous jewellery markets in the whole country. It is estimated that a chunky 65% of all the gold trading in the country is done at this place. Along with gold, precious metals and stones, it is an excellent place for imported, custom made toys, high end dinner sets and other luxurious items.

One of the country’s most celebrated jewellers - Tribhovandas Bhimji Zaveri (TBZ), first established their business at the Zaveri Bazaar in 1864. Spread across India and venturing into the overseas market, their main headquarters is in Zaveri Bazaar. It is the perfect place to get lost in the glitz and bling of the jewellery.

Although the market may be the place to get carried away, it is best to do a little research before purchasing any item. Brush up on your communication and don’t be shy to do a little haggling yourself, tenacity is encouraged here!
