Nature’s Elegance, Reimagined: Lotus Arts De Vivre’s Cape Gooseberry Earrings Continue To Captivate
Nature-Inspired Gooseberry Designs Showcase Lotus Arts De Vivre’s Signature Blend Of Artistry, Craftsmanship and Timeless Elegance.
Inspired by the delicate beauty of the cape gooseberry, Lotus Arts de Vivre’s Cape Gooseberry Earrings with Diamonds & Black Agate and Gooseberry Earrings with Gold Leaf have become two of the brand’s most sought-after creations, celebrated for their sculptural design, exceptional craftsmanship, and timeless appeal.

The Cape Gooseberry Earrings with Diamonds & Black Agate are meticulously handcrafted in sterling silver and adorned with rich black agate and brilliant-cut diamonds, creating a striking interplay of light, texture, and contrast. Offering a refined interpretation of the botanical form, the earrings effortlessly blend contemporary elegance with artistic craftsmanship.
Complementing this design are the Gooseberry Earrings with Gold Leaf, where each gooseberry is painstakingly hand-moulded in copper, accented with delicate 24K gold leaf, and finished with 18K gold hooks. Lightweight yet distinctive, they transition seamlessly from weekend brunches and summer evenings to festive occasions and cocktail gatherings, lending every look an understated sophistication.



The inspiration behind both creations lies in the captivating beauty of naturally ageing hops and berries. As the fruits mature, their lace-like outer shells reveal intricate veining and sculptural textures that have long fascinated Lotus Arts de Vivre’s designers, sculptors, and artisans. These fleeting natural forms are meticulously reimagined into jewellery that celebrates the harmony between nature, artistry, and exceptional craftsmanship.
Handcrafted using time-honoured techniques and precious materials, each pair embodies Lotus Arts de Vivre’s philosophy of “slow creation,” where every detail is thoughtfully executed and every piece tells a story. Blending artistic expression with luxurious craftsmanship, the Gooseberry collection has become one of the brand’s enduring signatures, admired by collectors and jewellery connoisseurs alike.

With every creation, Lotus Arts de Vivre transforms the extraordinary details of the natural world into timeless jewellery designed to be worn, treasured, and passed down through generations.

Zi Launches As A Modern Indian Design House Redefining Everyday Luxury
The New Jewellery Brand Makes Its Debut With 925 Sterling Silver, With An Expanding Design Vocabulary Across Titanium, Gold and Lab-Grown Diamonds
Zi, a new Indian design house, has launched with its debut collection of 925 sterling silver jewellery, bringing contemporary, everyday designs to a category traditionally shaped around occasion and ceremony. Starting at Rs 3,500, the collection marks the first chapter of Zi’s ambition to build a modern jewellery house where luxury is defined by design, material and wearability rather than spectacle.
Zi begins with a simple shift in how jewellery is approached: pieces need not be saved for a particular occasion. Its debut collection is designed to become part of an everyday wardrobe, with clean forms, considered detailing and versatile silhouettes that can be worn repeatedly, styled differently and carried across settings.



The collection is divided into three edits: Staple Edits, featuring everyday essentials; Forever Favourites, comprising versatile pieces designed for repeat wear; and Evening Elegance, bringing a more elevated expression to after-dark and occasion dressing. Across the edits, the pieces are designed to work independently or together, allowing customers to build a personal jewellery wardrobe rather than buy around individual occasions.
925 sterling silver forms the foundation of the launch, chosen for its versatility and as the starting point for Zi’s design language. The collection also incorporates other considered metals across select designs and is finished with premium rhodium plating. The jewellery is nickel- and lead-free, with a focus on material quality, finish and everyday wearability.
But silver is only the beginning for Zi. The brand is developing its next phase around more considered, design-led jewellery, including upcoming collections such as The Classics and The Atelier. These collections will build on the restraint of the debut while introducing greater depth and design expression, expanding the idea of what everyday luxury can look like over time.
The house is also developing jewellery across a broader material palette, including titanium fused with gold and lab-grown diamonds. Each material has been selected for a distinct role: titanium for its strength and lightness, gold for its warmth, and lab-grown diamonds as a contemporary interpretation of an established luxury material. The move reflects Zi’s intent to build a design house with a considered material philosophy, rather than remain defined by a single category or metal.
Beyond jewellery, Zi is exploring future lifestyle categories, with design continuing to anchor the brand’s approach. The long-term ambition is to create a design-led house that evolves across materials, products and categories while maintaining a consistent point of view.
The debut collection is available exclusively through Zi’s online platform from 24 August 2026, with prices starting at Rs 3,500.
With its launch, Zi is introducing a different proposition to India’s jewellery landscape: luxury designed not only for the moments that call for it, but for the everyday ones that make up a life. The debut in silver is the starting point; the larger ambition is to build a house with a design language that can evolve with the way modern India wears luxury.
