He opened his first jewelry store, D&D Wholesale Jewelers, in 1981 in Park City against the advice of a small group of Fayetteville friends. They highly discouraged him for two reasons: he was not originally from the area, and the conflict surrounding the Iranian hostage crisis was still fresh in Americans\u2019 minds. The combination would make for a dangerous situation, in their opinion. But Sabghi believed otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His father taught him to value others and himself as equals, encouraging him to treat others the way he wanted to be treated. In Sabghi\u2019s eyes, everyone was and is his friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf you have a million friends, it\u2019s not enough, and one enemy is too many. So try to be friends with everybody, no matter who they are. The more friends you have, the better you are in life,\u201d Sabghi said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sabghi quickly moved from Park City to the old Winn-Dixie building, where he stayed until the purchase of his present location in 1985, changing the name to Sabghi Jewelers. From here, he has served generations of friends and family just as he always believed he would.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said, \u201cMy best asset is my wife, Nasrin, who started helping me in my business in 2001. If it weren\u2019t for her, I wouldn\u2019t be in my current shape. She\u2019s the smartest person I\u2019ve ever seen in my life. She is the best wife, my best friend, and the best advisor that I have in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n David and Nasrin married in 1988, and their family grew to three with the birth of their daughter, Roxanna, in 1989. In 1993, their second daughter, Nina, was born, completing their family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nasrin, who holds Bachelor of Science degrees in electrical engineering and business management, joined David in the company in 2001. \u201cI couldn\u2019t do what I\u2019m doing now without her. She\u2019s awesome in advertising and management,\u201d David told the Elk Valley Times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Roxanna is a medical doctor (M.D.) and married to Alex Denton, also an M.D. The couple is parents to twin sons, Sam and Eli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nina, a Doctor of Physical Therapy, is married to Frank Priola, a realtor broker\/owner, and the couple is expecting their first child, a boy, giving the Sabghis their third grandson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Life in a small town where everyone knows your name drew Sabghi to Lincoln County and has kept him here. He and his family have been a part of area celebrations for over 40 years. The familiarity of a close-knit community enables Sabghi to capture customers\u2019 vision for the unique pieces he designs for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhen I talk to customers, and they tell me what they\u2019re looking for, I know exactly what they want nine times out of ten,\u201d said Sabghi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Friendship does that. And it\u2019s that friendship that will keep him here far into the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPeople say, \u2018How long do you want to do this?\u2019 I tell them, as long as I can stay on my feet, I want to stay in business.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s to a future of healthy feet.
