Zoya, the exquisite diamond boutique from the House of Tata opened its sixth boutique at the Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai, a destination synonymous with luxury. The atelier is known for its rare creations, distinguished by design innovation and impeccable craftsmanship.

The boutique’s feminine interiors are styled with thoughtful consideration, reflecting the atelier’s approach to its jewels. A symphony of pastels in white, beige and blush is brought alive by architectural elements like floor accents and decorative plasterwork on the walls, creating an intuitive path for the discovery of Zoya’s many treasures. Signature chandeliers handcrafted from the sustainable pulp of banana leaves in white and blush weave their way through the store, adding a flowing feel to one’s journey through the boutique. Display windows are adorned with finely crafted paper art echoing the fables of inspiration behind each resplendent piece.

This exclusive space allows customers to explore Zoya’s bespoke services, interact with the brand’s jewellery designers, and co-create custom pieces of jewellery that are truly one of a kind while being indulged by Zoya’s signature hospitality.
