Our story begins in the enchanting city of Dubai, where the art and energy of trade captivated a young boy.
“As a child, I loved everything about the Arabian Souks; the sights, the sounds, the bartering, but above all, the sparkling windows lined with jewellery.”
Thousands of kilometers away, another child with a similar vision experiences a bustling metropolitan for the first time.
“My family and I have made Mumbai our home. It’s big and fast-paced with so many people! The only way to stand out is by proving yourself.”
Fast-forwarding a few years and this young boy now has a successful career as a banking professional.
“I’ve achieved quite a bit professionally but is this what I truly enjoy doing?”
On the other end, an opportunity to learn and develop presents itself within the complex world of gemstones.
“This apprenticeship for diamond cutting can be my first step into the industry that I’m truly passionate to succeed in!”
Travelling the world brings new experiences. The urge to follow his passion keeps growing stronger with each passing day.
“I’m done with my desk job. Jewellery is a part of my culture, but I want to do things differently and break away from traditional designs.”
The steep learning curve and experience strengthened his values and beliefs, setting up a strong foundation for the future.
“No! No! No! There is no point in making something fast if you’ve not done it right. Quality is everything! Now steady your hand…”
Taking the bold step forward, the goal became to stand out through unrivaled quality of craftsmanship and gemstones.
“I have to ensure my clients get the best quality. I’m going to create a brand that does everything from start to finish in-house. I’m meeting someone who has just arrived from Mumbai.”
Having established himself back home, it was time to discover what opportunities awaited him outside India.
“Like my parents made their home in Mumbai, I’ll make mine in this City of Gold. With diamonds of such exceptional quality, I have faith that I’ll succeed here as well.”
Forming a strong bond was easy as they always shared the same principles. After a few successful years, it was time to elevate their partnership to a greater level.
“We’ve worked together for many years. It’s time we join hands and take La Marquise to new heights.”
Having built strong foundations and operations set up a pass on to the next generation, mixing time-honoured business acumen with a fresh modern-day approach.
“It's time to pass the baton to the future generations and let them take our dream forward. They will uphold our promise of quality, craftsmanship, and client satisfaction without losing sight of their roots.”
