Jewels of Legacy: People, Emotions, Histories behind four iconic Indian jewellery houses
In India, jewellery has never been just an accessory. A necklace can hold the echo of a wedding song, a grandmother’s whispered blessing or the quiet dignity of a family tradition. These are the sentiments at the core of Jewels of Legacy, Edstead’s latest docu-series now streaming on JioHotstar. The show offers a cinematic exploration of the stories, memories and human connections that make jewellery an intimate part of our identity.

Edstead has built a reputation for emotionally resonant, documentary-led storytelling. With Jewels of Legacy, the studio brings the same depth, authenticity and visual intimacy to the world of Indian jewellery. This jewellery project was done in collaboration with Preeta Agarwal, a renowned jewellery specialist who worked with Edstead as a Brand Partnership Consultant.
A Series That Goes Beyond Glitter
Rather than focusing solely on design and technique, Jewels of Legacy delves into the lives and philosophies of four legendary jewellery brands. It highlights the generational knowledge they carry, the traditions they uphold and the values that shape their artistry. History and personal storytelling flow effortlessly together, offering viewers an experience that is both heartfelt and deeply immersive.
Four Legendary Brands. Four Distinct Journeys. One Shared Heritage.
• Kishandas & Co.
The keepers of Hyderabad’s heritage jewellery, known for reviving royal craftsmanship and heirloom artistry.
• Mahesh Notandass Jewellers
A label revered for its couture fine jewellery—defined by symmetry, subtlety and timeless sophistication.


• VBJ Since 1900
A heritage house built on temple-inspired design, authenticity and over a century of unwavering trust.
• Abaran Timeless Jewellery
A family legacy grounded in purity, precision and a thoughtful blend of tradition with modern style.
Through archival footage, family recollections and the meticulous work of master artisans, the series shows why these brands continue to shape India’s enduring romance with jewellery.

Speaking about the vision behind the series, Shekhar Bhattacharjee, Founder of Edstead, shares: “Heritage and trust matter more today than ever before. Jewels of Legacy celebrates not just the beauty of jewellery, but the emotions, stories and cultural roots that give it meaning. In India, jewellery has always been about belonging—about wearing a memory. Jewellery Is an Emotional Inheritance”

Heer by GIVA Launches ‘She Is Not a Campaign’, Celebrating Women Beyond Performative Empowerment
Heer by GIVA launches a thought-provoking campaign that shifts the focus from performative empowerment to the authentic, everyday realities of modern womanhood
Heer by GIVA, GIVA’s gold and lab-grown diamond jewellery brand, has unveiled its Women’s Day campaign titled “She Is Not a Campaign.” The initiative challenges the performative narratives often associated with Women’s Day, choosing instead to celebrate the quiet, honest realities of womanhood.
Every year, women are expected to embody inspiration, strength, and limitless ambition on cue. But real women don’t wake up every day to perform empowerment. Through this campaign, Heer by GIVA shifts the focus from idealized portrayals to authentic expressions of individuality, softness, contradictions, and everyday choices.

Instead of portraying women as constantly strong or inspirational, the campaign humanizes them, embracing their unfiltered moments, personal choices, and quiet confidence. Because real empowerment isn’t always loud and women don’t exist to become a headline, a hashtag, or a campaign brief.
At the heart of the campaign is a series of thoughtful digital films and visual stories released across Heer by GIVA’s social platforms. The content embraces minimal visuals and emotionally intelligent messaging, capturing moments that feel honest and relatable rather than performative. The campaign has also been amplified through influencer collaborations, where creators share their own interpretations of the message, reflecting on the everyday realities of being a woman rather than presenting curated notions of perfection.
Extending the campaign beyond digital storytelling, Heer by GIVA introduced an interactive out-of-home installation, transforming a routine public space into an experiential campaign touchpoint.
The bus shelter was redesigned using the campaign’s visual language and messaging. At the centre of the installation is a mirror integrated into the display, allowing people waiting at the bus stop to see their own reflection within the artwork.
With She Is Not a Campaign, Heer by GIVA hopes to move the conversation beyond symbolic gestures and toward a more meaningful acknowledgement of women’s experiences.
