SURREY, BRITISH COLUMBIA – Malabar Gold & Diamonds, the world’s fifth-largest jewelry retailer, has inaugurated its second Canadian showroom at the Payal Business Centre in Surrey, British Columbia. The showroom was officially opened by Niki Sharma, Deputy Premier and Attorney General of British Columbia.
The new location features a curated collection of over 20,000 jewelry designs in 18K, 21K, and 22K gold and diamonds. The range includes bridal, occasional, daily, and office wear across more than 25 exclusive brands. Additional amenities include customized jewelry design services and ample parking.
“This expansion reflects our growing footprint in the international jewelry market,” said Malabar Group Chairman M.P Ahammed. “Our mission is to deliver exceptional shopping experiences through quality, service, and trust. We remain committed to becoming the world’s No.1 jewelry retailer.”
The launch in Surrey follows the company’s first Canadian showroom, opened in Mississauga in 2023. International Operations Managing Director Shamlal Ahamed noted that the brand has quickly become a key player in Canada’s jewelry market.
“With this second showroom, we’re closer to our customers and better positioned to help them celebrate life’s special moments with timeless elegance,” Ahamed said. “We’re planning rapid expansion—Ajax is next, followed by Calgary, Vancouver, and Montreal.”
In celebration of the Surrey showroom opening, Malabar is offering a zero-deduction exchange on 22K gold jewelry, valid until June 30, 2025. Customers can bring in old gold jewelry purchased anywhere and exchange it for new designs from the brand.
