Jewels fit for a maharani

Word to the wise: The store is for seriously elite shoppers - budgets are routinely broken here.

Diamonds are a maharani's (Indian princess) best friend. Even the most sumptuous wedding sari would lack razzle-dazzle unless it was paired with some exquisite traditional jewels, and Tribhovandas Bhimji Zaveri offers the best of the best, if only you can afford it.

Opened in 1865, Tribhovandas Bhimji Zaveri (known as TBZ) enjoys an unparalleled reputation for adorning Mumbai's extremely well-heeled men and women with exquisite traditional gold, platinum and diamond jewellery. Making NYC's Tiffany & Co. store on NYC's 5th Avenue look like an afterthought, this gigantic store stretches over five floors; don't miss the traditional bridal jewellery - it's divine.
