ABOUT THE CRAFT

Crafting Handmade Jewelry With Heart, Heritage & Purpose

At DORI, we believe jewelry should feel personal, meaningful, and rooted in craftsmanship. For nearly 10 years, we’ve been creating handmade jewelry in Dubai that bridges traditional Indian artistry with contemporary design. Our pieces are artisanal, handcrafted, gold-plated, and made in small batches—built to last, and made to be loved.

If you’re searching for high-quality artisanal jewelry, handcrafted Indian jewelry, or ethical jewelry made by skilled artisans, DORI is where craft meets soul.

Handcrafted, Not Mass-Produced

Every DORI piece is made slowly and intentionally by skilled karigars from across India, using techniques passed down through generations.
 We do not mass-produce.
 We do not outsource to factories.
 We do not compromise on quality.

Each piece of jewelry is:

  • Hand-shaped and hand-soldered

  • Hand-stitched and hand-polished

  • Crafted one piece at a time, ensuring individuality and uniqueness

  • Made by master artisans in Jaipur and Rajasthan

This is what sets handcrafted jewelry apart from machine-made accessories—the warmth of human hands and the beauty of natural, intentional imperfections.

Stones Sourced From Sri Lanka, Jaipur & India’s Finest Markets

Our jewelry features a carefully curated selection of semi-precious stones, sourced from:

  • Sri Lanka

  • Jaipur’s world-famous gemstone markets

  • Artisanal stone-cutters across India

Every stone is chosen for its shape, color, clarity, and natural character. Whether you choose raw ruby, rose quartz, aquamarine, sapphire, peridot, or kundan, you are wearing a piece of nature crafted with tradition.

Brass & Silver Jewelry With 18K Gold Plating

DORI jewelry is primarily made from brass and pure silver, shaped into elegant forms and finished with premium 18K gold plating. This gives each piece:

  • A luxurious, long-lasting finish

  • High shine and durability

  • A premium feel without compromising wearability

  • Better resistance to everyday use

If you're looking for gold-plated jewelry in Dubai that balances artistry with accessibility, this is exactly what DORI was created for.

Slow Craftsmanship, Thoughtful Design

Every stage of our process reflects our commitment to ethical, slow, small-batch production. We create intentionally—never in bulk—to ensure exceptional quality and reduced waste.

Our artisans spend hours (sometimes days) perfecting each design, giving it texture, structure, and personality. No two pieces are ever identical, making each one a collectible that tells its own story.

Sustainability at the Heart of Our Craft

DORI is proud to be a sustainable jewelry brand with circular practices built into every collection. We follow a strict no-waste philosophy:

  • Unsold jewelry is melted down at the end of each season

  • Metals are recycled and reused

  • Stones are re-set into new handmade designs

  • Production is kept small-batch and ethical

This process ensures that every piece has a long life—and nothing ends up as waste.

Jewelry Made With Purpose, Worn With Love

When you wear DORI, you wear:

  • A decade of craftsmanship

  • Generations of artisan knowledge

  • Slow-made, sustainable artistry

  • A piece touched by many hands and many stories

Each design is created to be worn, cherished, layered, loved—and passed on.
