SINCE 1981

Born in Mombasa,
Crafted for Generations


In 1981, Taj Gems & Jewellers first opened its doors in the winding alleyways of Mombasa's Old Town — a neighbourhood steeped in centuries of trade, culture, and craftsmanship. Surrounded by the aromatic spice markets and the rhythms of the Indian Ocean, our founder Mr Abdul Aziz Elias began with a single vision: to create jewellery that transcends adornment and becomes a living memory.

Four decades later, that vision endures. From our flagship showroom at Two Rivers Mall, Nairobi, we serve a discerning clientele who understand that true luxury is not purchased — it is commissioned, crafted, and cherished for generations.

FROM MOMBASA TO NAIROBI

A House Built On Craft, Trust, And Rare Stones

Taj Gems and Jewellers began in Mombasa's Old Town in 1981, shaped by a family tradition of careful stone selection, precise hand craftsmanship, and long-standing client relationships.

Today, from Two Rivers Mall in Nairobi, that same heritage guides every engagement ring, heirloom redesign, gemstone consultation, and bespoke commission.
