At PVA Bazaar, we give you something rare in today’s gemstone market: a direct, transparent, and personal connection to one of the world’s most important rough gemstone hubs — without the layers of middlemen, without the uncertainty.
We are the exclusive online platform and international partner of U.S.K Gems, a respected wholesale dealership owned and run by Mr. Umar Shahzad Khan in the legendary Namak Mandi Market, Peshawar, Pakistan.
Why serious buyers and wholesalers choose PVA Bazaar
As Close to the Mines as You Can Get (Without Traveling Yourself) Namak Mandi Market in Peshawar is the historic first stop for nearly all rough material coming out of Afghanistan — Panjshir emeralds, Jegdalek rubies, Nuristan tourmalines, pink and hiddenite kunzite, spodumene, apatite, lapis lazuli, and more. Afghan miners and dealers bring their fresh production straight here, just 40–50 km from the border. Umar and his team are on the ground every day, hand-selecting parcels before they ever reach Bangkok, Jaipur, or anywhere else.
A Real, Verifiable Family-Run Operation Umar comes from multiple generations of gem traders. After finishing his education and professional gemology training, he started working with his father and then launched his own independent company, U.S.K Gems, in 2018. Today he personally buys at the mines and from trusted Afghan suppliers, oversees cutting and grading, and manages every order himself with a small, dedicated team of 10–12 specialists.
