Luxury is not simply crafted — it is inherited, refined, and reimagined.
A family house of fine jewellery in Dubai, founded in 2002 and led, today, by a second generation who grew up at the bench.
It began at a father's bench
ISTANA was founded in Dubai in 2002 by Danny Mukhi, after a lifelong apprenticeship beside his father. What he learned there — patience, precision, and a deep respect for the stone — became the foundation of the house.
Over two decades, that devotion grew into an internationally respected jeweller, with reach to London and Hong Kong and partnerships across the world of fine jewellery. Yet the way we work has never changed: personally, patiently, one client at a time.
Two generations, one standard
Danny Mukhi
Founder
A jeweller's jeweller. Danny founded ISTANA in 2002 and still sets the standard for every piece that carries the name — measured by one question: would I be proud to pass this down?
Roxanne Mukhi
Partner
The next generation. Roxanne carries the family legacy forward — pairing the house's craftsmanship with a contemporary eye, and a belief that great jewellery is deeply personal.
The house principles
Natural & certified
We specialise in GIA-certified natural diamonds and fine coloured gemstones, with full disclosure of origin — honesty you can hold.
Generational craft
European artisans and Far-East master workshops, generational skill, and an obsession with how a piece is finished — inside and out.
Personal & private
No counters, no pressure. We welcome you to a private salon, by appointment, and take the time your decision deserves.
Rooted in Dubai, known beyond it
ISTANA is proudly of Dubai — with two salons in the city — and connected to the wider world of fine jewellery through our presence in London and Hong Kong and partnerships with houses we admire.
It means the rare stone, the unusual commission, the perfectly-matched pair — wherever it is in the world — can find its way to you.
