Zargarzada Gem & Jewelry

Zargarzada Gem and Jewelry specializes in high-quality handcrafted jewellery from stones and gems native to Afghanistan. Hujjat ullah zargarzada founded the first Zargarzada Gem and jewelry location in Peshawar, Pakistan in 1990. And it was not until 2002 that Zargarzada was established in Kabul, Afghanistan. Currently, Zargarzada has three branches in Kabul, making it one of the most franchised jewellery brands in the city.

Hujjat ullah, who has a degree in lithology from Mumbai, in which he focused on the properties of rocks and gems, has decades of expertise in studying the quality of rock and gemstone materials. He has been working as a professional goldsmith having learned from years of family tradition. Combining his education in lithology with his training as a goldsmith, Hujjat ullah produces quality jewellery with a focus on stones and gems native to Afghanistan.

He has built his business so his operations are both sustainable and economically impactful. Zargarzada purchases Afghan gems in bulk, processing them and crafting them into beautiful pieces of jewelry to sell in domestic and foreign markets. By sourcing locally, as opposed to sourcing gems from Iran or India, Hujjat ullah empowers local Afghan gemstone vendors, in addition to employing jewellers from his local Kabul community.
