Akoirah by Augmont Celebrates The Family We Choose With A Thoughtfully Curated Friendship Day Gifting Edit
Akoirah By Augmont’s “For The Family We Choose” Edit Celebrates Friendship Day With Timeless Jewellery That Honours Chosen Family, Meaningful Connections, and Lasting Memories.
Not every family is inherited. Some we find in late-night conversations that stretch into sunrise, in celebrations both big and small, and in the quiet certainty of knowing someone will always stand by you. These are the friendships that become our constants, our confidants, and, over time, a family we choose.
This Friendship Day, Akoirah by Augmont shines a light on these cherished bonds through For the Family We Choose, a thoughtfully curated edit of jewellery pieces that make for meaningful gifts for the people who have become an integral part of our lives. Rather than a collection created for a single occasion, the edit brings together timeless designs that celebrate friendship, connection, and belonging in a way that extends well beyond one day on the calendar.

Featuring delicate layers, sculptural silhouettes, and understated everyday essentials, the selection is designed for those who appreciate jewellery that feels personal rather than performative. Each piece is versatile enough to become part of a daily uniform, yet meaningful enough to commemorate the relationships that shape us. The edit reflects a quiet, contemporary approach to gifting, where thoughtful design and lasting sentiment take precedence over grand gestures.
Namita Kothari, Founder, Akoirah by Augmont Said:

“For generations, jewellery has been gifted to mark relationships we inherit. I believe it’s equally meaningful to celebrate the relationships we choose.”
“Friends become our sounding boards, our biggest cheerleaders, and often the people who witness our lives in the most authentic way. Those bonds deserve to be honoured with the same thought and permanence we reserve for life’s traditional milestones. At Akoirah, we see jewellery not simply as something to wear, but as something that carries memory and meaning. The most treasured pieces are rarely the most extravagant—they’re the ones that instantly remind you of a person, a conversation, or a chapter of your life you’ll always want to hold on to.”


Crafted in recycled gold and set with lab-grown diamonds, each design reflects an emotional approach to modern luxury, one that values meaning as much as craftsmanship. Whether exchanged between lifelong friends, chosen family, or the people who have stood beside us through life’s defining moments, these pieces serve as lasting reminders of bonds built on trust, shared memories, and unwavering support.
Because some of life’s most meaningful relationships aren’t the ones we’re born into, they’re the ones we choose, every single day. This Friendship Day, customers can discover these thoughtfully curated gifting pieces across Akoirah by Augmont stores to celebrate the people who have become family by choice.

Indriya, Aditya Birla Jewellery Unveiled India’s Largest Sustainable Jewellery Rangavalli
The Installation Transformed An Iconic Jewellery Design, From Indriya’s Festive Collection Padmika, Into A Magnificent Rangavalli, A Grand Celebration For Vijayadashami.
Indriya, Aditya Birla Jewellery, on unveiled India’s Largest Sustainable Jewellery Rangavalli, crafted from grains, at Orion Mall and Shri Sathya Ganapathi Shirdi Saibaba Temple on in Bengaluru, as a tribute to our rich cultural heritage and enduring festive traditions. Spanning 400 sq. ft. at Orion Mall and 1,600 sq. ft. at the temple, the large-scale Rangavalli installations, inspired by an iconic jewellery design from Indriya’s latest festive collection, Padmika, transform the intricate artistry of fine jewellery into magnificent expressions of a cherished cultural tradition steeped in devotion, craftsmanship and community spirit.

Padmika crafted in 22KT gold celebrated the revival of Gulabi Meenakari, a rare pink enamel craft, and the necklace featured an intricate nakshi floral detailing alongside the auspicious motif of Goddess Lakshmi seated on a lotus, symbolising prosperity, abundance and new beginnings. Reimagined as a magnificent Rangavalli using eco-friendly materials including rice, millets and seeds, the installation translated the intricate artistry of the necklace into a large-scale tribute to our cultural heritage. Bringing together thousands of individual elements, the artwork reflected the precision, patience and craftsmanship shared by both jewellery-making and Rangavalli creation. Created using grains, millets and seeds, the installation celebrated the enduring beauty of traditional art forms while offering visitors a distinctive and immersive festive experience.


Rooted in cultural authenticity, the initiative drew on the expertise of the renowned Rangoli artist Shikha Sharma popularly known as the “3D Rangoli Queen” and creator of record-breaking Rangoli artworks. By translating the detailing of an iconic temple jewellery design into Rangavalli, Indriya celebrated two art forms that shared a deep appreciation for intricate patterns, craftsmanship and the coming together of individual elements which created something extraordinary.
Sustainability was integral to the initiative and it extended the purpose of the installation beyond the festive celebration. Following Vijayadashami, the rice, millets and seeds used in the artwork were responsibly repurposed through feeding drives for birds and animals in partnership with Akhil Karnataka Prani Daya Sangh Gaushala.
Speaking about the initiative, Shantiswarup Panda, Head of Marketing & Visual Merchandising at Indriya, said:

“At Indriya, our endeavour is to celebrate India’s rich cultural heritage through meaningful and contemporary expressions. The Jewellery Rangavalli is an extension of that vision, reimagining an iconic Padmika design through a beloved festive tradition that resonates deeply with our audiences. As a brand inspired by culture and craftsmanship, we wanted to create an experience that not only showcases the artistry behind our jewellery but also invites consumers to engage with it in a memorable and immersive way. Through this initiative, we celebrate heritage, craftsmanship and the spirit of togetherness that lies at the heart of Vijayadashami.”
