THE BEGINNING
Born in Mombasa's Old Town
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.
"Jewellery is not bought.
It is commissioned into memory."
