Heena Jewellers

You can find us up on the first floor at Plot 249 in Zaveri Bazar. If you know the area, you know it is always packed with people and there is a lot of noise from the street below. We are in Ward 12 B. Heena Jewellers has been here for a bit now, and we just go about our work every day. The stairs are a bit narrow, so you have to watch your step when you are coming up. Inside, it’s a bit quieter than the market outside. We spend our time looking at small pieces of jewelry and talking to folks who come in. It’s not like those big showrooms you see in the malls. We have our counters and some chairs for people to sit while we show them what we have in the lockers. We do some repairs too, which keeps our hands busy. The light in the shop has to be just right so we can see what we are doing with the gold and stones. Sometimes the fan makes a bit of a clicking sound, but we don’t mind it much. Zaveri Bazar is a place where everyone knows each other, so we often see familiar faces passing by the window. We open up in the morning and stay until the market starts to quiet down in the evening. It’s steady work and we like being part of this neighborhood.
