Azzallure unveils sculptural engagement ring collection in response to changing bridal preferences
Azzallure, a custom jewellery design firm with headquarters in Dubai, has released a new collection of engagement rings with striking, sculpture-like patterns. The launch is part of a larger trend among women who are choosing rings that symbolise identity, change, and personal growth over traditional, delicate styles.
From January 2024 to March 2025, Azzallure conducted internal client consultations and found that about 38% of new bridal inquiries asked for a non-traditional custom piece or a redesign of an existing engagement ring. Compared to 22% the year before, this represents a discernible increase. In contrast to the traditional solitaire or symmetrical halo rings, clients are increasingly choosing design elements like bold gold bands, offset or stacked diamond settings, and asymmetrical compositions.
Previously regarded as unusual or niche, these design preferences are now creating a unique category within Azzallure’s custom portfolio, especially among women between the ages of 30 and 45 who are looking for jewellery that fits with their changing identities and stages of life.

“We at Azzallure have witnessed a significant change in the way that women view bridal jewellery. It now signifies personal growth rather than merely a relationship milestone. We have observed an increase in the number of customers who want rings that represent what they are today rather than their initial selves. These works are daring, deliberate, and intensely intimate. It is our privilege to translate their stories into timeless design—jewellery that doesn’t just sparkle but speaks.”Azzallure Chotani, Founder and CEO of Azzallure.
“We’re designing for a generation that values meaning as much as aesthetics,” said the Azzallure Chotani. “These women are not just choosing a ring—they’re choosing a reflection of their journey, and our role is to bring that to life through thoughtful, personalised craftsmanship
Azzallure’s findings are consistent with more general patterns in the Indian and international jewellery markets. Over 42% of urban female consumers indicated interest in customised or redesigned bridal jewellery, citing factors like personal development, lifestyle adjustments, or changing aesthetics, according to a 2024 report by the Jewellery Trends Council India. Women between the ages of 28 and 40 have a particularly strong preference for jewellery that strikes a balance between modern design and symbolic meaning.
Unlike traditional engagement rings, which typically favour minimalism and symmetry, Azzallure’s new line embraces form-forward silhouettes, irregular diamond placements, and a blend of materials including natural and lab-grown stones. Each piece is created through the brand’s bespoke design process, which includes one-on-one consultations, CAD mockups, and handcrafted finishing.
The new engagement ring line reflects Azzallure’s category-fluid design philosophy, which brings together natural diamonds, lab-grown stones, and high-end costume jewellery within a single curated platform. The brand aims to redefine traditional boundaries in bridal jewellery by offering designs that are emotionally resonant, stylistically diverse, and functionally versatile.
Each custom piece, like lab diamond necklaces or engagement rings, is developed in close collaboration with clients, combining storytelling with material precision. The design process typically spans three to six weeks from consultation to delivery, ensuring both technical quality and symbolic relevance.

P N Gadgil & Sons Unveils Featherlite With Sonali Bendre: Gold Jewellery That Looks Grand and Feels Light
The 194-Year-Old Jewellery House’s Festive Collection Is Made For Women Who Want To Shine Through Long Celebrations Without Being Weighed Down By Their Jewellery
P. N. Gadgil & Sons Ltd (PNGSL), one of Maharashtra’s most trusted jewellery houses with a legacy that began in 1832, has launched Featherlite, a collection of lightweight gold jewellery that offers a rich, festive look while staying easy to wear all day. The collection arrives with a new campaign starring brand ambassador Sonali Bendre, built around a simple line: Looks Grand. Feels Light. In Marathi, the campaign puts it as दिसायला ब्राइट, वजनाला light.


The festive season is one of the busiest stretches of the year for women: pujas, family gatherings, weddings, office celebrations and late evenings, often one after another. Traditional statement jewellery looks beautiful, but wearing it for hours can be tiring. Featherlite is PNGSL’s answer to that. The pieces keep the scale, detailing and finish people expect from heritage gold jewellery, and are crafted to be noticeably lighter, so the look stays grand while the wearer stays comfortable.
A campaign about choosing light

The campaign film follows Sonali through one day before an evening event. She clears her packed schedule to keep the day easy, reaches for an apple instead of a heavy breakfast, and asks her makeup artist to keep the look natural because she wants to look like herself. In the evening a jewellery box opens to reveal an elaborate gold necklace. She braces for its weight, then lifts it and is pleasantly surprised: “It’s so light.” The stylist answers with one word: Featherlite. Sonali looks rich and luxurious in the mirror, yet she barely feels the necklace is there. The voiceover closes the story: When everything feels light, you shine brighter.
The campaign will run across digital and social media, print and outdoor through the festive and wedding season.
The collection
Featherlite brings together necklace sets, earrings, bangles and pendants in 22kt gold, designed with traditional motifs, drops and filigree-inspired detailing in contemporary proportions. Pieces are made for festive dressing, gifting and the wedding season, and for women who want jewellery they will actually wear, not just keep in a locker.
Speaking on the launch, Aditya Modak, Director, P N Gadgil & Sons, said:

“Our customers tell us they love grand jewellery but don’t always enjoy wearing it for long hours. Featherlite comes from listening to them. For 194 years, PNGS has stood for purity and craftsmanship, and with this collection we are bringing that same promise to the way women live today: busy, celebratory and always on the move. Sonali embodies that grace effortlessly, which made her the perfect face for this story.”
