Tanishq, the jewellery brand from the Tata Group, has launched one of India’s largest gold exchange drives with the support of cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar. The campaign urges households to recycle their existing gold and reduce the country’s dependence on imports.

India is estimated to hold nearly 25,000 tonnes of gold within households, while 99% of the country’s annual gold demand is met through imports. Tanishq aims to address this imbalance by encouraging families to exchange old jewellery for new designs, thereby unlocking value at the individual level while strengthening the national vision of self-reliance.

For the first time, the company has introduced a 0% deduction exchange offer across all karatages, including as low as 9 KT, valid until October 21, 2025.

Ajoy Chawla, CEO – Jewellery Division, Titan Company Limited, said, “Every gram of old locker gold exchanged not only brings personal joy but also contributes to reducing imports. With our first-ever 0% deduction offer, we are making it simpler for every Indian to be part of this nation-building effort.”

Over the years, more than 30 lakh customers have participated in Tanishq’s gold exchange programme, leading to the recycling of nearly 1.7 lakh kilos of gold. The initiative now contributes nearly 40% of the brand’s overall business.

Sachin Tendulkar, brand ambassador for the campaign, said, “Gold is deeply woven into Indian culture and passed down generations. Tanishq’s exchange initiative offers families a transparent and trustworthy way to renew this legacy while reducing India’s dependence on imports — which is a win for every Indian.”

With a presence across 500+ boutiques in over 300 cities, Tanishq continues to position itself as a trusted name in jewellery, combining craftsmanship, purity, and contemporary design with social impact initiatives like the gold exchange movement

Prada has unveiled its latest fine-jewellery offering, ‘Couleur Vivante,’ a 2025 collection that deepens the fashion house’s commitment to the global high-jewellery segment. Introduced across international markets this month, the line blends bold colour narratives with contemporary design sensibilities, marking another significant step in Prada’s jewellery evolution.

Co-created by Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons, the collection spans staples such as solitaire rings, rivière necklaces, line bracelets and drop earrings. True to its name, Couleur Vivante places coloured gemstones at the center of its identity, diverging from the traditional diamond-led aesthetic of many European maisons. The curated palette features amethyst, aquamarine, madeira citrine, morganite and oro-verde peridot — all selected for their chromatic intensity and expressive appeal.

Design elements draw inspiration from Prada’s signature geometric language, including angular silhouettes and asymmetric details that echo the brand’s iconic triangular motif. The pieces are crafted to create a balance between architectural form and gemstone vibrancy.

One of the defining features of the collection is its commitment to transparency. Each jewel is digitally registered through the Aura Blockchain Consortium, allowing consumers to trace gemstone provenance from source to finished piece. In addition, items are accompanied by grading reports from independent gemological laboratories, reflecting the growing demand for verified authenticity among modern luxury buyers.

Industry observers note that Prada’s colour-led strategy aligns with a broader market shift, particularly among younger consumers who favour expressive, non-traditional stones over classic heirloom styles. For retailers, the launch underscores increasing commercial traction in the coloured-gemstone category.

With Couleur Vivante, Prada continues its expansion beyond fashion into high-value jewellery, signalling long-term ambitions in a sector where craftsmanship, innovation and provenance are becoming increasingly crucial.
