House of Amrapali, Evoluzione, and SR Artefacts launch joint flagship store in Mumbai
Jewellery label House of Amrapali, fashion curator Evoluzione, and silverware specialist SR Artefacts have launched a joint flagship store in Mumbai, marking a collaborative venture in experiential luxury retail. The 4,200 square-foot space spans two levels and merges fine jewellery, designer fashion, and heritage artefacts in a setting designed to evoke both a gallery and a temple.
'With the launch of our new flagship store in collaboration with Evoluzione and SR Artefacts in Mumbai, our vision was to bring together culture and craftsmanship in their purest forms," said Amrapali Jewels' creative director Tarang Arora in a press release on May 9. "From design to detailing, every element has been thoughtfully curated to celebrate Indian artistry in a setting that feels both intimate and grand."
Each zone of the store, dedicated to jewellery, fashion, and collectibles, has been designed to have a distinct ambiance, unified by a design narrative rooted in Indian craftsmanship. The interiors feature polished marble flooring, warm lighting, and a combination of antique-inspired furnishings and modern architecture. A notable design element is a staircase wrapped in Thikri mirror work, echoing the Sheesh Mahal style, while the jewellery room is accessed through an archway crafted over a period of 1,200 hours by Jaipur-based artisans.
The store houses over 1,000 handcrafted fine jewellery pieces from Amrapali Jewels and 1,500 silver jewellery designs from Tribe Amrapali. Evoluzione presents a selection of over 35 Indian designer labels, and SR Artefacts showcases more than 500 handcrafted items including silverware, idols, and restored heritage pieces. A curated collection from London-based Ananya Fine Jewellery is also on display.
The collaboration aims to offer a retail experience that reflects the shared ethos of the three brands. "At Evoluzione, we've always believed in redefining luxury through meaningful curation, and this collaboration brings that belief to life in its most dynamic form," said Evoluzione's co-founders Tina and Atul Malhotra. "This flagship store brings that philosophy to life by offering a space where fashion, tradition, and modernity co-exist effortlessly."

German and French industry united on US aircraft sector tariffs
The German Aerospace Industries Association (BDLI) wants only US completed products aircraft and helicopters to be targeted by the EU for retaliatory tariffs - leaving the market for the supply of parts unscathed - if trade negotiations between the EU and the US founder, the group has told Euronews. It's position aligns it with the French sector's stance. 'If the EU must respond, counter-tariffs should focus strictly on fully finished aerospace end products – such as complete aircraft and helicopters – and explicitly exclude spare parts or critical products,' BDLI said in an email to Euronews. 'This is essential to avoid unintended harm to European and global production networks.' US aircraft are included in the European Commission's draft list of €95 billion worth of US products that could face duties if ongoing negotiations fail. The list was open for industry consultation until 10 June and now awaits approval by EU member states. BDLI's position mirrors that of Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury, who also chairs the French aerospace association GIFAS. Speaking to French media in May, Faury backed tariffs on finished aircraft but warned against measures affecting spare parts, to avoid disrupting the global supply chain. A source familiar with the matter told Euronews that the French government supports the stance of its aerospace industry. In response to the EU's inclusion of aircraft in its draft retaliation list, the US has launched an investigation that could pave the way for the Trump administration to impose additional tariffs on the EU aerospace sector. Trade tensions between the EU and the US risk reigniting the long-standing rivalry between aerospace giants Boeing and Airbus. However, the two economies' production systems are tightly intertwined. For instance, the LEAP engine, used in both Airbus and Boeing jets, is co-produced by US-based General Electric and France's Safran. Aircraft remain a central issue in ongoing EU-US negotiations. Following a discussion with US President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Canada on Monday, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said both leaders had directed their teams to accelerate negotiation. EU Trade Commissioner Maroš Šefčovič also met with US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer on Monday, on the margins of the G7. A follow-up meeting with US counterparts is scheduled to take place in Washington on Thursday and Friday, an EU spokesperson confirmed. The US currently imposes tariffs of 50% on EU steel and aluminium, 25% on cars, and 10% on all other EU imports. President Trump has warned he will raise tariffs on all EU imports to 50% if no 'fair' agreement is reached by 9 July.

Romania's new president nominates centre-right former mayor as PM
Romania's new pro-Western president, Nicusor Dan, on Friday nominated a centre-right former mayor to be prime minister. The nomination comes as Romania, a European Union and NATO member state, seeks to usher in a new government to end a protracted political crisis that has gripped the nation since last year. Dan nominated 56-year-old Ilie Bolojan of the centre-right National Liberal Party, or PNL, after a fresh round of talks Friday following weeks of deliberations. Bolojan had previously served as acting president from February to May, when Dan defeated a hard-right opponent in a heated presidential election rerun. The closely watched vote came months after the previous election was annulled by a top court, which plunged Romania into a deep political crisis. Dan described Bolojan as the 'most suitable person' for the job, which includes tackling a budget crisis. 'It is in Romania's interest for the government to be supported by a solid majority, and the parties have understood this,' he said. 'Romania's urgent priority is economic recovery, but ... you need a solid foundation.' Nomination will need to be approved by lawmakers Bolojan's nomination will need to be approved by parliament, and his government is expected to be comprised of the leftist Social Democratic Party, or PSD, the PNL, the reformist Save Romania Union party, and the small ethnic Hungarian UDMR party. The PSD has pushed for a power-sharing agreement that would see a rotation of the prime ministerial post. Responding to his nomination, Bolojan said he's 'fully aware of the great responsibility' the role will bring and acknowledged it 'will not be an easy undertaking.' 'I will continue discussions with political parties to secure a parliamentary majority, finalise the government, and define the governing program,' he said. 'I will pursue three priorities: to restore order to the country's finances, to work toward good governance that creates conditions for development in Romania, and ... to show proper respect to the Romanian people.' Reducing Romania's considerable budget deficit—one of the greatest in the 27-nation EU bloc—will be one of the main challenges facing a new government. Deep social divisions in the nation were also made clear by the controversies that surrounded the presidential election. According to Cristian Andrei, a Bucharest-based political consultant, the new government will face the challenge of reaching a longer-term consensus over already delayed state reforms. 'There is only a disputed agreement on very short-term measures for the economic and budget crisis,' he told The Associated Press. 'If the short-term measures come with a social cost, inflation ... (and) will not be met by profound changes in policies and institutions, then the political crisis will loom over the next years and (future) elections.' In the wake of the May presidential election, Bolojan, acting as president, named PNL's Catalin Predoiu to lead the cabinet after Marcel Ciolacu resigned when his coalition's candidate did not advance to the runoff.
