Mr Young went on to add that a dedicated workshop for bespoke customized jewellery, repairs and sizing, polishing and rhodium, for white gold, diamond setting, pearl stringing, pearl fixing and engraving is now available in Dubai.

"Having a dedicated workshop brings peace of mind to our customers. We want our customers to enjoy ultimate satisfaction, not only from the beautiful diamonds, pearls and jewellery they own, but also in the knowledge that a full after-sales service is available for them," he said.

Al-Futtaim Jewellery's products include a wide variety of pearls under the Minato brand name, precious stones set in 18 ct gold, certified loose diamonds from Europe as well as the Nanis Collection and Titanium and Tanzanite jewellery.
