As the population of the Indian community in New York has grown, so has the number of Indian jewelers selling precious gold and diamond bangles, necklaces, rings and other shiny baubles. Jackson Heights in Queens is of course the epicenter of the Indian jewelry market in New York although there are Indian jewelry stores even in Long Island. These days it seems like you can't walk even a few yards in Jackson Heights without spotting yet another jewelry store and a glittering showcase with eye-catching jewelry. In Jackson Heights, 74th Street and its surrounding roads like 37th Avenue, Roosevelt Avenue and Broadway of New York are choc-a-bloc with Indian jewelry stores. These jewelry stores sell gold biscuits as well as a wide variety of finished gold jewelry, beads, gemstones and silver jewelry. Some Indian jewelry stores cater to men as well with watches, cuff links, tie pins and gold rings. These days some of the Indian jewelers in Jackson Heights even offer gift items, statues of Hindu Gods like Ganesha and astrological stones. While the weekends are the busiest times for the Indian jewellers here, it's fairly common to see Indian women on weekdays also at these jewelry stores shopping for glittering ornaments for weddings and other festive occasions. |
