Gemfields and PureJewels Launch ‘Zariya’ Emerald Collection to Celebrate May and 75 Years of Craftsmanship
Emerald is the fitting birthstone of May, the month when green shoots burst forth and fields turn green. Coinciding with this highpoint of spring is a new partnership between Gemfields and PureJewels, a fine jewellery label dedicated to quality, craftsmanship and heritage, with roots in India and Africa. The PureJewels x Gemfields Zariya collection puts emeralds from Gemfields’ Kagem mine in Zambia front and centre in designs inspired by the fresh buds of May. PureJewels was founded in 1950 in Nairobi by Indian-born Bhanji Gokaldas, who followed in the footsteps of his forefathers — master goldsmiths and metallurgists — into the world of jewellery. Today, the brand is run from an atelier in London, where it remains faithful to its cultural heritage and to preserving traditional techniques and artisanal excellence: honouring the past while embracing the future – in other words, celebrating journeys.
As we mark 75 years, PureJewels remains dedicated to preserving heritage crafts. Partnering with Gemfields for this milestone allows us to reinforce our commitment to a responsible supply chain and to showcase the real impact of responsible sourcing – a value deeply embedded in our brand,” says Jayant Raniga, CEO and third generation of PureJewels, speaking of the collaboration. Gemfields is a world-leading responsible miner and marketer of coloured gemstones, always striving to work with transparency, legitimacy and integrity and adhering to the principle that gems should bring tangible benefit back to their countries and communities of origin.
“ The Kagem mine – majority owned and operated by Gemfields in partnership with the government of Zambia – has been the source of some of the world’s most exceptional emeralds, while its profits have positively impacted health, education and livelihoods projects in the local area. Each piece from PureJewels carries a story, and those in the Zariya collection are no exception. Taking its name from the Hindi word “Zariya”, meaning a medium, source, or pathway, the collection was inspired by the concept of introspection and designed to usher the wearer into a space of reflection, alignment and balance. The designs are handcrafted in London using traditional techniques such as wire-drawing, forging and stressing gold, using the brand’s signature 22k Sunrise Gold, whose regal golden glow pairs perfectly with the majestic green of Zambian emeralds.
“Thought to symbolise hope, growth and the natural world, emeralds couldn’t be more appropriate for a collection dedicated to introspection and balance. The calming green hue of Zambian emeralds sings in PureJewels’ clever settings, flowing light through the gemstone facets so that they dance when worn.
The PureJewels x Gemfields Zariya collection lends itself equally to stacking for a modern look, or a single, elegant statement with a pleasing pop of green,” says Emily Dungey, Gemfields’ Marketing and Communications Director. Highlights from the Zariya collection include a Shooting Star Emerald Cuff and Dropper Earrings with a twisted design exuding timeless charm. There is also an elegant Solo Emerald Pendant and Horizon Emerald Necklace with an intricate twist-wire design, and two show-stopping rings.
“Each PureJewels creation is a testament to tradition and innovation. Whether it is a cherished heirloom passed through generations or a new piece that marks a personal milestone, we craft with purpose – to honour history, elevate artistry, and celebrate the journey of every wearer,” says Raniga.
Indriya, Aditya Birla Jewellery, announces the launch of its new bridal campaign, crafted to be a true partner in every bride’s journey and enable her to become the bride she has always imagined.

A beautifully crafted launch film brings the campaign to life, set in the precious moments just before the wedding ceremony. Intriguing at first, the vibrant plotline delivers a powerful and contemporary point of view of a modern bride, beautifully rooted in the brand’s core idea of “Dil Abhi Bhara Nahin.” Crucially, the bride’s ‘inner circle,’ her closest family who have known her dream and see it almost as vividly as she does, are integral to the story, making it very relatable in the bridal context.
Commenting on the campaign, Sandeep Kohli, CEO, Indriya, said, “This bridal campaign brings alive the deeply held belief that every bride envisions herself long before her wedding day arrives. At Indriya, our commitment is to walk alongside her on that journey, partnering with her as she brings her bridal dream to life.

Shantiswarup Panda, Head of Marketing & Visual Merchandising, Indriya, added, “Indriya intends to be the destination for bridal jewellery, and this campaign has been crafted with that vision at its core. Built on deep consumer insight, it reflects every girl’s dream of becoming the bride she has always imagined. Indriya steps in as her trusted ally on this milestone occasion, offering an exquisite bridal collection.
The campaign tells a soulful story of a bride who pauses to savour her look when she is finally ready, feeling her most beautiful and radiant, even as the world waits for her to show up for the wedding. It celebrates a bride’s profound love for her bridal jewellery in a meaningful, intimate way that hasn’t been explored before, and that is what draws you in.”
Abhishek Rastogi, Head of Design, Indriya, said, “Indriya’s bridal collection is crafted for brides who value artistry that seamlessly blends India’s cultural richness with contemporary elegance. Each piece reflects our commitment to preserving heritage while embracing modern sensibilities. From region-inspired masterpieces, anchored in hyperlocal design references, like Anantara, Padma Ranjini, Raasvi, and Rajashree to timeless classics, we offer an unparalleled assortment for every discerning bride. E
very creation is born from meticulous craftsmanship and intricate kaarigari—hallmarks of Indriya’s legacy. Among our signature designs is Saptapadma, an extraordinary necklace inspired by the lotus and the seven sacred vows of marriage. Featured in our campaign film and worn by Aditi Rao Hydari, it captures the sacred essence of a bride’s journey. Through thoughtful detailing and deep cultural inspiration, we’ve crafted jewellery that embodies not just beauty, but the heritage, emotion, and timeless spirit of India.”
With this campaign, Indriya strengthens its position as a complete bridal jewellery destination, offering exquisitely crafted pieces for every wedding moment. Celebrating heritage, individuality, and personal expression, the campaign is amplified across OOH, digital, print, and Connected TV to make Indriya part of every bride’s journey this wedding season.
