Zariin Jewelry, known for its impeccable craftsmanship and enduring designs, proudly inaugurated its flagship store in DhanMill, marking a significant milestone in the brand's 13-year journey.

Established in 2010 by sisters Mamta and Vidhi Gupta, Zariin has been deeply committed to the art of creating artisanal everyday jewelry. This new phase in the brand's history underscores its steadfast dedication to spreading joy through self-expression. The flagship store symbolizes Zariin's transformation from an online presence into a comprehensive omni-channel brand.

The grand opening of the Zariin flagship store pays homage to the brand's mission of adorning individuals with jewelry that becomes an integral part of their identity, much like a second skin. Mamta Gupta, Co-Founder said, "Zariin’s flagship store furthers the pursuit of our brand’s mission: to spread joy through our jewelry, that is sure to grace you like a second skin."

The store is poised to revolutionize the jewelry shopping experience with the introduction of a healing counter, a pioneering concept in the jewelry industry. Co-Founder Vidhi Gupta remarked, "This is the space that Zariin has pioneered and is committed to growing further into the spiritual realm of jewelry with meaning."

Over the past 13 years, Zariin Jewelry has garnered global recognition, with products available in more than 200 stores across 21 countries, including prestigious outlets such as Saks 5th Avenue, Anthropologie, Free People, and Hankyu Department Store Japan. The flagship store represents a significant stride forward for the brand, bringing its unparalleled offerings closer to its devoted clientele.

Innovation lies at the heart of Zariin's identity, and the brand is poised to introduce live video shopping experiences from its store during the upcoming festive season. This unique physical shopping experience will seamlessly merge the tactile allure of Zariin's jewelry with the convenience of online shopping.

The design and architecture of the store eloquently embody the brand's philosophy, harmoniously blending Eastern and Western influences, mirroring the timeless designs that Zariin is renowned for.

Inspired by the Fusion of Cultures: Zariin’s store facade takes cues from the fundamental design principles that underlie our jewelry, celebrating the fusion of East and West, steeped in Indian craftsmanship, catering to the global woman's aesthetic sensibilities.

Mamta Gupta said, “We went back in history to look over millennia of Hindu, Islamic, and vernacular inventions and to seek out common themes which can be blended well with the modern minimal interiors. Thus the concept of a congruous arched display window in the façade surfaced as our compelling theme. This can be correlated to the old monuments which have repeating themes. The store interiors complement and softly serenade with the narrative of the facade. The walls are pristine white, providing a clean canvas for our creations to express themselves. Amidst this simplicity, a graceful tree stands, its branches and foliage extending through the ceiling into the sky”. In the words of Ms. Vidhi Gupta, “ It’s like the store came to life around the tree, and its personality became one with the tree- organic and real. Arch-shaped niches carved into the walls in one of the corners, create subtle alcoves that cradle our best sellers… music playlists are those curated personally by the team, Mamta and me.”
