The Kurbani (Sacrifice) Of Durjini

Kurbani Durjini’s lifespan has arisen from unique circumstances, driven by the ingenuity of Durjini, a combination with detail and a innovation of beauty. Since Durjini established our company in London in 2021, his fascination with the emotional power of gemstones has transformed Durjini into a global hallmark of innovation, creativity, and craftsmanship.

An intense passion for diamonds has been the driving force in Hussan Durjini’s life since he first sat, over 60 years ago, at a jeweller’s bench in Hatton Garden, London’s jewellery quarter. His story of metamorphosis is very similar to that of a diamond – transformed from raw, rough carbon into a precious, ravishingly refined gem. ‘I have always been fascinated and mesmerised by diamonds,’ he says; ‘I remember looking at them, studying them closely to understand their purity, and the way they had been cut. It was an inherent feeling that has turned in to a lifelong passion.

On his journey for his passion for precision and fine eye to detail has translated to jewellery. Durjini founded his first company at the tender age of 21, when he began working alongside a more experienced jeweller. ‘I suggested we set up in business and we formed a partnership, repairing western jewellery.’ Durjini’s entrepreneurial flair, opportunistic nature and courage in taking risks all contribute to his business trajectory. One such occasion occurred early on: Durjini proceeded to sell rings to a jewellers in the north of England in Nottingham, who called me immediately after my return to London to say he had sold the rings and wanted to order another.’
