Founder and creative director Prerna Rajpal has carved a distinct identity for Amaris over the past decade, blending bold aesthetics, heritage craftsmanship, and storytelling in its jewellery pieces. The Hyderabad store marks the beginning of Amaris’ national retail expansion, with more locations planned across India in the coming year. Attending the launch event were some of the city’s glitterati, such as Sudha Reddy, Bobby Kandhari, Archie Paranji, Dr. Manjula Anagani, Dr Kamala Anagani, Dr. Kavitha Kovi and Sumana Paruchuri.

“Launching our flagship in Hyderabad is both a strategic and deeply personal milestone,” says Prerna Rajpal. “This city’s design legacy, discerning clientele, and celebration of individuality in luxury make it the perfect place to begin our next chapter. With our new space and the debut of ‘Hyphen’, we’re inviting clients to experience fine jewellery not just as adornment, but as personal storytelling—bold, refined, and timeless.”
Heritage Statement at the Amaris boutique
Spread across 2,750 sq. ft., the Hyderabad boutique is designed as a fully immersive experience. More than a retail space, it reflects the Amaris woman—modern, expressive, and unapologetically herself. The store is thoughtfully divided into three key segments: On The Go: Elevated essentials for everyday wear; Glitterati: Cocktail jewels that make a statement; Heritage: Bridal and heirloom pieces steeped in tradition

An invitation-only VIP Lounge offers a private styling space with early access to limited collections and bespoke design services. The store also features interactive digital touchpoints, a curated campaign showcase, and the iconic Amaris Blue Wall, tying together the brand’s digital-first and design-led philosophy.

To commemorate the launch, Amaris debuts ‘Hyphen’, a capsule collection available exclusively at the Hyderabad boutique. Inspired by the meeting of worlds—North and South, heritage and innovation—the collection features Zambian emeralds, kunzites, tourmalines, and F-G color diamonds, each piece balancing drama with finesse.

Lifestyle Insider is a kind of junction point, connecting people with diverse interests that touch on the more luxurious aspects of lifestyle – fashion, design, travel, food and spirits, art, watches and jewellery, cars, yachts, and aviation, and technology. People today don’t fit into boxes and categories. In our individual ways, we are interested in diverse themes, products, and the challenges that face our world today. You will judge how well this effort of mine caters to your passions and proclivities.
Lifestyle Insider is a showcase of all that is beautiful and luxe. Behind every creation, is a designer, chef, entrepreneur, or a design maison. I have delved into my own appreciation for objetsde luxe that I have admired over the years – be it a love of fashion from the world’s top Parisian and Italian fashion maisons and their ’90s muses, or the care that goes into sari and Indian textile collections in my own family. Growing up on four continents, as the daughter of a former Indian Ambassador, I’ve seen a remarkable array of historic places and met a myriad people. My aim is to bring my world view into this website, a curation of what I find particularly stunning, unique, and newsworthy.
It’s an exciting time for brands all over the world. With change comes opportunity. With the global ‘reset’ and uncertainty on many fronts, there is a chance to write a new script. Let’s be those pioneers.
