The quality is good, however it’s expensive to purchase at DF. Purchasing locally from Gold Souk or any Dubai market will be considerably cheaper

I did. Brought a few gold chains. Was much cheaper than if I had brought them in India. As for quality, I am not an expert, but they seemed absolutely fine on the surface. Two years later, they are still pretty solid

I'm also going to be going on maternity leave in about 5 months (company offers it). I'm not sure if taking FMLA now would somehow impact my maternity leave. Thoughts?
