We meet Mr Farooq and was a remarkable experience. Not only the warm welcome but the attention to details. Farooq has a fantastic knowledge of gems and the manufacturing is of perfect quality. He also can quickly understand the customer preferences and direct us to the sweet spot. Of course that when back in Europe, I took the jewells for assessment. Feedback was perfect. Definitely a reference to have... and if you want a perfect jewell, that is the place.
