Sweta Art Jewellers
Zaveri Bazaar
Imitation jewellery wholesaler
Sweta Art Jewellers is an imitation jewellery wholesaler at Center House, 247 Sheikh Memon Street, next to TBZ, Mumbai.
The gold and jewellery market of India, in a few dense lanes off Kalbadevi Road, trading here since the 1860s. Several thousand firms work in this cluster — manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, refiners, hallmarking centres and the angadia couriers who move goods and cash between them. A very large share of the gold jewellery sold in India passes through these lanes.
It is not a tourist market. It is a working trade district, and the retail shops on the main road are the visible edge of a much bigger wholesale business behind them.

- Weekdays only for the trade. Many shops shut on Sunday.
- Wedding season — roughly November to February, and around Akshaya Tritiya — is when it is busiest.
