Gemstones - Dubai
First, all sorts of gemstones are used in the manufacturing of jewellery. Gemstones are all very special, and much liked in jewelleries, as well as alone. We all know though that gemstones are quite expensive and harder to find than the ordinary gold or silver metals. Due to the huge development and attention toward the diamond business, Dubai has decided to put higher emphasis on the coloured gemstones as well.


Certain gemstones, especially the coloured ones or half-gems are still said to give certain healing powers to their wearers. There is the gem astrology as well, saying which gem is the best for which astrological sign. Also interesting to know, that in the Arabic world, still many rich families, even the royal families have their own gemstone collections, in case of any trouble. It is no wonder that the total rate of bought jewelleries in Dubai makes 55% out of the total selling of gemstones globally.

Dubai is famous for its former pearl and present gold and diamond industry. The organization responsible for this growth of business in Dubai is mainly the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC), which also deals with the new Diamond and jewellery complex of Dubai, the Al Mas Tower and its other skyscrapers, where the seat of jewellery trading has been moved. Now, the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) that has also allowance to operate as a Free Zone (not paying taxes at all) has created a club and organization in one called the Dubai Gems Club (DGC), which gives its members exclusive opportunities in trading with all sorts of gemstones. This club offers exclusive trading platform in order to network with the international gemstone companies and societies. Those who belong to this club get preferences and better rates above the ordinary buyers. Only a maximum number of 25 companies can be the members of this exclusive Club though, with the priority for those who are members of the DMCC.

The Dubai Gems Club (DGC) offers its member the following services
• secure trading rooms with the full respect of privacy toward traders
