APALA JEWELLERY
Retailing fashionable, contemporary jewellery, the Apala jewellery store features collections which are inspired by the cultural heritage of the capital city. Their collections like the tomb inspired collection and monastery collection attempt to fuse the contemporary with the spiritual as well as portray traditional charm through their designs. Owner and designer of Apala, Sumit Sawhney learnt the craft from the Gemological Institute of America and started his first flagship store in Gurgaon in 2006. The second store followed in 2008 at Hauz Khas Village. Apala is stocked with jewellery that is handcrafted in silver and embedded with precious and semi- precious gemstones on top of a layer of gold. Sawhney uses motifs in contemporary forms and textures to create exclusive jewellery pieces. The décor at the store is conventional yet elegant with two elegant figurines set up outside to make the store more inviting. The latest Buddhism inspired monastery collection has already become a rage and is a rare combination of thread with silver and gold which also adds a unique charm to the pieces. The most popular items from the monastery collection are their Nirvana Earrings, Buddhist Mystique Pendant and the Bodhisatva Pendant. COST Rs 2,500 onwards WHERE 6, Hauz Khas Village; SG 66, DLF Galleria, Phase – IV, Gurgaon
