Our heritage
Three GENERATIONSone EYE
From the spice-and-gem ports of Kerala to the global crossroads of Dubai, Zodiac Temple has carried one family's standard across three generations.
The Founder
The first generation began trading gems along the Malabar Coast, learning to read a stone by eye and by hand.
The Laboratory
The second generation brought formal gemological training and built the Kerala laboratory, which set the house standard.
The Global House
The third generation opened the Dubai client house and vault, taking the Kerala standard to collectors worldwide.
