Beliram Jain Silverware Manufacture Company

If you walk down Dariba Kalan in Old Delhi, you’ll find us in Piau Wali Street. It’s a narrow lane, like most places in this part of town, and our shop is tucked inside the street. We’ve been manufacturing silverware here for a very long time. It’s a family thing, really. The air in Dariba always smells a certain way, a mix of old buildings and metalwork. We spend our days sitting among the silver items, talking to people who wander in. It’s not a big showroom with bright lights and fancy carpets. It’s more of a traditional workspace where you can see the history in the walls. We take our time with the pieces. Sometimes it’s quiet, and we just sit and polish things or look over the new stock. Other times, the street outside is so loud you can’t hear yourself think, especially during the festival seasons. People come to us because they know where we are, not because of some big advertisement. We don’t really do things the modern way with fancy websites or apps. We prefer to talk to people face to face. Dealing in silver in a place like Piau Wali Street means you get to see all sorts of folk. We just keep the shop open, follow the old ways of making things, and hope the craftsmanship speaks for itself when someone picks up a spoon or a plate. It is hard work, but we like being part of the history here.
