Leonardo da Vinci once said, “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” In this world of chaos, minimal and fluid spaces make way for statements in understated luxury. Though when designing a home for jewels, how does one embellish spaces that behold sparkles of diamonds and the gleam of gold? Crafted with care and precision, Renu Oberoi Luxury Jewellery Store designed by Zaki Shaikh, Principal Architect of Parthenon Architects, is all things gold and glimmer against a canvas of grey.

Located at Nariman Point, Mumbai, this store emanates modern elegance with a side of finesse. Captivating colours, alluring lighting and a selection of materials are cleverly utilised to command attention. The store features numerous elements—a Serip chandelier with glass icicles in the centre, illuminated and sleek cabinets housing the brand’s jewellery and intricate rose motifs embodied in handles and wallpaper.
