THE COLOUR OF MEMORY

ZOYA’s Her Again High Jewellery collection, with sitarist Anoushka Shankar as its muse, translates India’s spices into a vivid language of rare gemstones.

The golden warmth of turmeric. The deep red of mace. The green of cardamom, the richness of saffron and rose. For its new High Jewellery collection, Her Again, ZOYA, the luxury jewellery atelier from the Tata Group, turns to one of India's most enduring cultural languages, its spices, and treats them as keepers of memory.

The collection follows a woman returning to herself, drawing on the rituals and recollections that connect us to our past. Colour becomes the doorway: curious, playful, spontaneous, expressive and deeply feminine. Rubellite, emerald, Madeira citrine, Orissa rose garnet, golden heliodor and yellow sapphire form an unexpected, saturated palette, set in intricate compositions shaped over thousands of hours of craftsmanship.

A MUSE BETWEEN WORLDS

The campaign finds its voice in sitarist and composer Anoushka Shankar, who has built a distinctive musical language across cultures and genres while carrying her Indian heritage into a practice that is personal and unmistakably her own.

"What I love about ZOYA is the way it takes what we inherit and allows it to evolve through colour, gemstones and craft," she says. "I've always believed you can be deeply rooted in a culture and still speak to the world in a way that feels relevant, simply through the lens of your own experience. ZOYA captures that beautifully, creating pieces that feel timeless in spirit, yet fresh, inventive and entirely their own."

For Arun Narayan, Chief Executive Officer, Jewellery, Titan Company Limited, India is an extraordinary source of design inspiration, from its colours and cultural heritage to the craftsmanship that has shaped its visual language over centuries. "At ZOYA, we see an opportunity to reinterpret these influences through a distinctive design lens, creating High Jewellery where meaning and emotional resonance are as integral as rarity and artistry," he says. "Her Again reflects this approach, drawing from India's richness and diversity while expressing it in a way that is contemporary, personal, and unmistakably our own."

INSIDE THE COLLECTION

Eternal Ember Necklace

The centrepiece of the collection translates India's palette of colour and spice into 748 stones sculpted into movement. At its heart sits a 5.4-carat cabochon Mandarin garnet in saturated orange, recalling turmeric and marigold. Sapphires, rubellites and citrines surround it, and 102 individually crafted elements, brought to life over 2,112 hours, form a fluid, three-dimensional architecture. In motion, the diamonds set within its sculptural forms catch the light, revealing shifting layers of brilliance and colour.

Eternal Ember Earrings

Two rubellites totalling 7 carats glow in rich shades of pink, intensified by diamonds and intricate settings. Inspired by the fiery depth of mace, they capture an ember held close and ready to glow again.

Afterglow Ring

A vivid 2.7-carat rubellite is set within custom-cut matte rock crystal and framed by sculptural tendrils inspired by mace, while Zambian emeralds echo the form of cardamom. Stone-on-stone craftsmanship gives the ring its layered depth, a dialogue of crimson, green and translucent light.

Unbound Bangle

Here, 6.4 carats of deep crimson rubellites, Orissa rose garnets and diamonds are shaped by clove buds and unfurling mace. Fine fretwork and sculpted detail create a jewel of exuberant depth, made for a woman who knows herself and wears her freedom with confidence.

Amber Bliss Necklace and Earrings

A 38-carat Madeira citrine takes centre stage in the necklace, surrounded by pink tourmalines, orange and yellow sapphires and diamonds, with sculpted marigold forms flowing around the stones. An open-back setting reveals the citrine's inner fire, and more than 1,000 hours of craftsmanship bring the piece to life. The matching earrings carry 22 carats of Madeira citrine accented with pink tourmalines, sapphires and diamonds, their open backs letting light filter through the stones.
