Published

ZOYA, the luxury jewellery atelier from the Tata Group, unveils Her Again,a new High Jewellery collection that reinterprets one of India’s most enduring cultural languages,  its spices – through ZOYA’s distinctive design lens. Drawing from the rituals and memories that connect us to our past, the collection explores the intimate journey of a woman returning to herself. ZOYA brings this essential Indian craft story to life through gemstone mastery and a distinctive design language, in an alchemy of expressive colour, unusual stones and intricate craftsmanship. ZOYA transforms a familiar part of India’s cultural landscape into a distinctive expression of High Jewellery.

The golden warmth of turmeric, the deep red of mace, cardamom green and the richness of saffron and rose become passages into memory. Colour awakens the many facets within her: curious, playful, spontaneous, expressive and deeply feminine.  Rubellite, emerald, Madeira Citrine, Orissa rose garnet, golden heliodor and yellow sapphire create an unexpected, saturated palette that echoes the colours of spice and memory. Set in intricate compositions and shaped through thousands of hours of craftsmanship, these natural gemstones reimagining familiar cultural references into High Jewellery.

The campaign finds a cultural voice in Internationally acclaimed sitarist and composer Anoushka Shankar. Having shaped a distinctive musical language across cultures and genres, she carries her Indian heritage into an evolving creative practice that is deeply personal and unmistakably her own.

Speaking about the collection, Anoushka Shankar said:

“What I love about ZOYA is the way it takes what we inherit and allows it to evolve through colour, gemstones and craft. 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.”

Arun Narayan, Chief Executive Officer – Jewellery, Titan Company Limited said:

“India offers an extraordinary source of inspiration for jewellery design, from its rich cultural heritage and vibrant colours to the materials and craftsmanship that have 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.”

“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. Anoushka Shankar embodies this vision through a creative journey that has continually found new and imaginative expressions of her Indian influences, bringing them to global audiences with authenticity and artistic depth.”
