Yuvraj Gems

Yuvraj Gems is situated at No. 34A Khandelwal Nagar, right on Agra Road. It’s not a large place, just a simple office where we deal with different kinds of stones. Most of my day is spent under a bright desk lamp with a magnifying glass, looking at the small details of whatever has come in that week. Agra Road is quite busy, so there is always the sound of trucks and cars passing by outside, but inside we try to keep things a bit more focused. We have small packets of gems everywhere, and I have to be careful not to knock anything over. It’s a family-run sort of thing, so there isn't any corporate feeling to it. We just talk to people who are looking for stones for jewelry or other reasons. Sometimes a customer comes in with a specific request, and I have to spend time looking through our stock to see if we have anything that fits. I don’t use a lot of fancy equipment; just my eyes and a few basic tools I’ve had for years. The floor is simple, and the walls have a few old calendars on them. People find us because we’ve been at this address for a long time. It’s a quiet, steady kind of business where we just do our work day after day. We don't put on a show; we just show the stones as they are and talk to whoever walks in. It’s just how things are here.
