Escalating prices, introduction of VAT, economic uncertainties in the region during the first half have not hampered the spirit of the people of UAE and the Gulf region. UAE is growing and becoming an economically strong economy albeit the roller coaster ride that is taking them towards the EXPO 2020. Strengthening policies regarding taxation, identifying scope for expanding the business canvass, up keeping Dubai and UAE as an ultimate destination is an important task for the policy makers to sustain and build the emirate into a new sunrise for the future generation.

So this Ramadan and onwards what do we look at; a robust and friendly Banking system for consumers and businesses alike, ease in filing tax returns, introduction of new age technology, and most importantly bringing back the sheen into the gem and jewellery sector. Yes, the gems and jewellery sector of the emirate that had been experiencing a road block will spring back with offerings that will be unmatched and extraordinary. Education is destined to take center stage not only in the jewellery sector, but also in general.

Jewellery Designer's of the Gulf region would become the flag bearers, not only for the growth of jewellery sector, but also sort of ambassadors to safeguard the rich tradition and culture of the Arab world. Their jewellery creations are second to none and is no surprise that the most creative jewellery designers from the region are expanding beyond boundaries and their respective creations are applauded and accepted globally. The intricate craftsmanship and quality of the precious stones and metals used is an attraction t the high net worth customers, irrespective of the price demanded. The New Jeweller UAE bureau has selected some of the finest jewellery designer's from the region and profiled them including their work of art that is for sure a reader's privilege. Our team salutes the hard work, determination and an eye for detail that the designers have, that has resulted in such exquisite creations.
