Prakash Gems

You can find us at Shop Plot No. 1 in Pandav Nagar. We are right across the road from the Mother Dairy on Patparganj Road. It's a handy landmark for people trying to find us for the first time. The shop is a bit small, but it’s ours and we’ve been here quite a while. Every morning starts with me rolling up the shutters and wiping down the glass counters. Being so close to the main road means there's always a bit of dust to deal with. We have a lot of different stones tucked away in the drawers and cases. It's not a place with a lot of room to walk around, especially if we have more than two or three people inside at once. My brother helps me out most days. We don't really do any fancy sales pitches or anything. We just show what we have and let the stones speak for themselves. The walls could probably use a new coat of paint, but we haven't gotten around to it yet. We like the neighborhood here; it's got a nice, local feel to it. Most of our customers are from nearby or people who saw our sign while going to get milk. We keep regular hours and just try to be helpful to whoever stops by. It's a straightforward way to run a shop.
