Industry leaders, public figures and family members gathered in Mumbai last week for the unveiling of Heero, a book chronicling the life and values of  Arunkumar Ramniklal Mehta, founder of the Rosy Blue Group. Hosted by Rajnika Arun Mehta and the Mehta family, the book was unveiled by Shri Sharad Pawar, former Chief Minister of Maharashtra, in the presence of Shri Mukesh D. Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director of Reliance Industries.

Drawn from over four decades of Shri Mehta’s handwritten Gujarati journals, Heero departs from the conventional business biography. It reflects on leadership shaped by restraint, ethics and long-term thinking. The Gujarati edition is authored by Chirantana Bhatt and the English edition edited by Salil Tripathi, based on interviews with more than 150 individuals.

Family members — including Amita Mehta, Mona Mehta, and  Dilip Mehta — shared deeply personal reflections that revealed the human core behind the public figure.

Curated over five years by  Russell Mehta, the book also highlights Shri Arunkumar Mehta’s role as a philanthropist and an institution builder, including his contribution to the Bharat Diamond Bourse. Released through private circulation, Heero positions his life as a guide for ethical decision-making beyond business.

Devotion, Heritage & Diversification: The defining trends of SSI Delhi’s 3rd Edition

From sacred artistry to lifestyle-driven expansion, how top exhibitors bridged timeless tradition with modern market demand.

Published

on

Spirituality as a design anchor

Devotional and spiritual artistry emerged as the single strongest thread of the show. Ricchezza’s Idols Collection, SILORA’s Shrinathji timepiece, Purple Jewels’ Balaji idols and Shiva Lingam, and Anmol Jewellers’ extensive range of silver and gold idols (Vishwarupa, Panchmukhi Hanuman, Ram Parivaar, and more) together show that sacred and devotional pieces are no longer a niche category but a mainstream, premium-positioned offering across exhibitors.

Antique, oxidized and heritage finishes

SILORA’s glorious Antique Finish Collection and Oxidized Silver Jewellery reflect a broader pull toward deep patina, folk-tribal textures, and traditional Indian artistry — a counterpoint to high-polish contemporary pieces and a signal that heritage aesthetics remain commercially strong.

Rose gold’s continued momentum

Rose gold surfaced across multiple product types — not just jewellery but also timepieces — as seen in SILORA’s Luxe Rose Gold Finish Jewellery and rose-gold-finished watches, reinforcing its position as a staple modern finish rather than a passing trend.

Category expansion beyond traditional jewellery

Exhibitors are widening their range beyond rings, chains, and bangles. Ricchezza’s Anamitra line targets infants, while SILORA’s Exclusive Timepieces extend a jewellery brand into horology — both pointing to lifestyle-driven diversification as a growth strategy.

Gender-Specific Design Lines

Distinct masculine and feminine lines were a notable feature, exemplified by Ricchezza’s Cuban Collection (bold, masculine) alongside Tixty (chic, feminine) — indicating that targeted, gender-specific collections continue to be a deliberate merchandising strategy rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Mastery in Silver Artefacts and Idols

Both Purple Jewels and Anmol Jewellers demonstrated the depth of skill in silver idol-making, from the Saptashwa Vase’s mythological detailing to the technical complexity of Vishwarupa and Panchmukhi Hanuman forms, underscoring silver artefacts as a distinct and thriving craft category alongside wearable jewellery.

Balancing tradition and modernity

Taken together, the exhibitors at the 3rd edition of SSI Delhi painted a picture of an industry balancing tradition and modernity — where antique finishes and devotional artistry sit comfortably alongside rose gold sophistication, gender-targeted lines, and category extensions such as infant jewellery and timepieces. This blend of heritage craftsmanship and contemporary lifestyle relevance appears to be the defining character of the show.
