VENDOME AOYAMA Daimaru Shinsaibashi Store at Dotonbori, Osaka

Refined Japanese jewellery counter on the 1st floor of Daimaru Shinsaibashi.

VENDOME AOYAMA is a Japanese jewellery brand whose Daimaru Shinsaibashi counter sits on the first floor of the department store's main building, in the heart of the Shinsaibashi-suji covered arcade. Launched in 1973 under the Vendome group - a house whose name nods to the Place Vendôme in Paris - the brand is built on three keywords: "intellectual, elegance, basic." Its pieces are designed as everyday jewellery for Japanese women, with clean lines and modest proportions that sit well under office wear as easily as they dress up an evening outfit. The Daimaru counter carries the standard collection of necklaces, earrings, rings and bracelets, the seasonal collection (such as the Brise-légère summer line), and the newer luxury "The Elevate" line of high-end pieces. Birthstone options and bridal engagement and marriage rings are also available, and the department store's tax-free counter on the ninth floor of the main building handles refund paperwork for overseas visitors. It suits shoppers wanting a refined, wearable memento of an Osaka trip, couples comparing engagement rings in a calm setting, and gift buyers after a piece with a recognisable Japanese design pedigree. Among the international luxury counters of Daimaru's ground floor, VENDOME AOYAMA stands as a quietly confident home-grown alternative - jewellery that understands Japanese proportions, lifestyles and aesthetics from the inside out. A single Vendome piece, worn daily, becomes a small, personal thread connecting you to the afternoon you chose it.
