Amrapali is here

Bright hoops. Bling beads. And bangles that carry plastic rainbows in them. You’re just doing this cause the fashion mag told you, right? We know the true you still loves her silver.

And the latest outlet of the Jaipur-based Amrapali makes you fall in love with silver all over again. And with gold, uncut rubies and precious stones. And age-old designs that made Rajput princesses sigh collectively. Today, they do that to JLo and Beyonce.

Peek into the glass-enclosed cupboards and get all dreamy-eyed at the array of ethnic jewellery. Some enamelled, some inspired by the Rajputs and Toda and Bonda tribes, and some starkly contemporary.

Necklaces that cling to your neck in all their glory, bracelets that delicately clasp slender wrists, jhumkas that shine brighter than your eyes, eardrops that kiss petal soft ear lobes and a whole range of rings in uncut stones and traditional designs.

Amrapali is named after a beautiful courtesan, whose mystique, grace and drop-dead good looks were inspirational. You’ll feel her presence after stepping in.
