The Celebrity Designer – Renu Manjunath

Born in Mumbai and shaped by India’s rich cultural heritage, Renu Manjunath comes from a lineage of jewelers dating back to pre-Independence India. This inherited appreciation for craftsmanship, ornamentation, and detail became the foundation of her creative identity.

Blending Indian heritage with Middle Eastern elegance and a contemporary global perspective, Renu’s design language is defined by femininity, individuality, and timeless sophistication. Inspired by nature, art, architecture, and culture, she founded LABELRM to create distinctive handcrafted jewelry where every piece carries a story.

Her creations have been showcased on international platforms and embraced by celebrities, VIPs, collectors, and jewelry connoisseurs. Her journey has also been recognized with several prestigious honors, including the Woman of Stature Global Awards – Dubai 2022, Woman Entrepreneur of the Year, Gem of India, and Best in Innovation at IWES 2021.

Beyond design, Renu is a mentor, educator, co-author of Falling in Love with India, and a member of the Industry Advisory Board for Fashion Design at Amity University Dubai.

For Renu, jewelry is more than adornment it is heritage transformed into art, and an intimate expression of individuality.

“Jewelry is one of the oldest forms of art and expression. Its significance across cultures and generations continues to inspire me—and I believe this is my calling.”
