The Season’s Haute Pick: Rahul Desai Brings Luxury Learning On The Go With Loupe Insight Season 4
As luxury and premium Jewellery become increasingly important growth categories, the industry is also confronting a fundamental question, What does luxury truly mean today?
Is it an expensive product? A beautiful store? Highly personalized attention? Or an experience that customers cannot find elsewhere?
Addressing these questions, jewellery industry mentor, coach, and business strategist Rahul Desai has announced the fourth season of his podcast, Loupe Insight. Titled The New Code of Luxury Jewellery, the season brings focused luxury education to professionals on the go, translating an often abstract subject into practical sessions for the jewellery industry.
Today, the terms premium, luxury and ultra-premium are frequently used interchangeably. At the same time, many experiences positioned as luxury are simply examples of good service. This lack of clarity can influence everything from store design, merchandise selection and pricing to communication and customer engagement.
Through the new season, Rahul aims to help jewellers understand these distinctions and build a more relevant approach to luxury.
Rahul Desai, CEO & MD of IIG, and Founder of RD consultancy Said:

“Luxury is becoming a game changer for jewellery businesses, but the word itself is often misunderstood. A larger store, a more expensive collection or better hospitality does not automatically create a luxury brand. Luxury begins when every element, from the product and environment to the conversation and after-sales relationship, delivers a distinct sense of value”
Across the season, Rahul examines how the meaning of luxury is changing from distant aspiration to greater emotional and lifestyle relevance. The episodes explore subjects such as the difference between premium and luxury, the role of experience in creating perceived value, changing customer expectations, personalization, exclusivity and the new codes influencing modern jewellery retail.
The fourth season of Loupe Insight is supported by Sanghi Jewellers, Finestar Diamonds, Polygon, Jwero.ai and Svar, bringing together respected names from across the jewellery industry to support accessible, future-focused learning for the sector.
The season also challenges the belief that luxury is created only through elaborate interiors, chandeliers or champagne. Instead, it asks jewellers to look more closely at the complete customer journey: how a client is welcomed, how a jewel is introduced, how confidently its value is communicated and how the relationship continues after the purchase.
Designed as short, focused episodes, Loupe Insight makes these conversations accessible to business owners, retailers, manufacturers, designers, sales professionals and students. The “luxury on the go” format allows industry professionals to engage with important business ideas while traveling, working or moving through their day.
Drawing on more than 25 years of experience in jewellery education, retail strategy and industry mentoring, Desai brings together global luxury thinking and the realities of operating within India’s relationship-driven jewellery market.
Loupe Insight Season 4: The New Code of Luxury Jewellery continues the podcast’s larger purpose: helping the industry look beyond products and understand the forces shaping the future of jewellery business.
The new season will be available across Loupe Insight’s digital and podcast platforms.

Rivaah By Tanishq Launches Wedding Signatures, Complete Bridal Jewellery Trousseaus Across Seven Indian Bridal Communities
Created Around The Way Today’s Bride Curates Her Wedding, With Jewellery For Every Moment and Celebration, Brought To Life Through A Wider Wedding Ecosystem
Rivaah by Tanishq, the wedding jewellery focused sub brand from the house of Tanishq, has launched Wedding Signatures, a collection of complete bridal jewellery trousseaus across seven distinct Indian bridal communities representing Tamil, Telugu, Bihari, Rajasthani/Marwadi, Gujarati, Marathi and Pan India/Metro. The collection is rooted in Rivaah’s insight that today the modern Indian bride celebrates her cultural roots but in her own unique way.
Over 8 to 12 months, a bride makes choices across the destination, venue, functions, fashion, photography, decor, beauty and jewellery that together shape her wedding. This has also changed the way she approaches bridal jewellery, with a move towards selecting pieces for individual occasions rather than relying on a single set. Wedding Signatures responds with a complete jewellery wardrobe designed to cater to the different functions and celebrations of the wedding.

Each bridal look has been developed through its own distinctive jewellery vocabulary. The Marathi trousseau draws on key elements such as the Vati Mangalsutra, Tushi necklace and Vajra Teek Choker, the Rajasthani/Marwadi trousseau includes the Borla, Tevta, Aad and Panchlada Haar, while the Gujarati trousseau draws on forms such as Chandan Haar, Dodi, Mor and Keri. The Tamil and Telugu trousseaus explore distinctive South Indian forms and temple inspired vocabulary. The Pan India/Metro trousseau offers a contemporary expression for brides influenced by multiple cultural and stylistic references. The collection further expands Rivaah’s jewellery vocabulary with Kaleeras, Matha Patti, Vankis, Surya and Chandra, Nethi Chutti and Mattal, alongside contemporary interpretations of established regional jewellery codes.
Developed by Tanishq’s Design Excellence Centre (DEC), Wedding Signatures brings together regional understanding, design expertise and craftsmanship across the seven bridal worlds.
The collection is brought to life through the campaign “One Wedding. Many Stories.”, extending the idea into the wider wedding ecosystem through destination, photography and film. Celebrated wedding photographer Joseph Radhik captures select bridal looks at Taj Jai Mahal Palace, Jaipur, while acclaimed filmmaker Shoojit Sircar brings the stories to life through a series of regional films. For the South market, actor Anupama Parameswaran is the face of Rivaah, bringing the campaign to life for brides across the region. The campaign places the jewellery within the setting, atmosphere and storytelling of a wedding, creating a connected expression of the celebration around the collection.
Speaking on the launch, Pelki Tshering, Chief Marketing Officer, Tanishq, said:

“At Rivaah, we believe that marriages are crafted uniquely by every bride. As brides curate their weddings with greater intention, every choice right from the destination and celebrations to fashion, photography and jewellery, contributes to the experience they envision. We wanted to reflect this in the way we approached bridal jewellery. Wedding Signatures brings together complete jewellery wardrobes across seven distinct Indian bridal looks, with pieces designed for the different occasions that make up the wedding journey.
Through ‘One Wedding. Many Stories.’, we bring the collection into the wider world of destination, photography and film, creating a more holistic expression of the wedding around the bride.”
