Tiffany & Co. has set a new record with the acquisition of a rare 18k gold pocket watch for $1.97 million. The timepiece, once owned by Captain Arthur H. Rostron of the RMS Carpathia, was a gift from three Titanic survivors—Mrs. John B. Thayer, Mrs. John Jacob Astor, and Mrs. George D. Widener—who expressed their gratitude for his heroic efforts in rescuing passengers after the Titanic sank.

The pocket watch, purchased from Henry Aldridge and Son Ltd., is engraved with a heartfelt message from the survivors and features the monogram “AHR” on its caseback. This historic artifact honors Captain Rostron’s courage and pivotal role in saving hundreds of lives. Christopher Young, Vice President of Creative Visual Merchandising at Tiffany & Co., emphasized the significance of the acquisition, stating that it highlights the brand’s long-standing connection to history and its role in the luxury world.

Jagannath Gangaram Pednekar Jewellers Celebrates Jewellery as a Lifestyle with The Great Jewellery Festival

Month-long festival brings together diamond, gold and silver jewellery for everyday dressing, celebrations, gifting and special occasions

Published

Jewellery is increasingly becoming part of everyday life, moving beyond weddings and milestone occasions to find a place in everyday dressing, work, celebrations, gifting and personal expression. Reflecting this evolving relationship with jewellery, Jagannath Gangaram Pednekar Jewellers (JGP) is bringing together a diverse range of diamond, gold and silver jewellery through its month-long The Great Jewellery Festival, being held from October 15 to November 15, 2026.

Rather than focusing on a single jewellery category or collection, the festival celebrates the breadth of jewellery available at JGP. From lightweight gold and real diamond pieces to statement designs and wedding jewellery, the festival brings together options suited to different occasions, styles and preferences.

The changing role of jewellery is also reflected in how consumers are making their choices. While weddings, festivals and family celebrations continue to be important occasions for jewellery purchases, consumers are increasingly looking for pieces that can complement their everyday wardrobe. Lightweight earrings, rings and other versatile designs can move seamlessly from work and casual occasions to festive gatherings, while more distinctive pieces can mark celebrations and personal milestones.

The festival will feature real diamond jewellery starting at ₹25,000 onwards and gold jewellery starting at ₹10,000 onwards, offering consumers an opportunity to explore fine jewellery across different styles and price points. The gold offering includes everyday pieces such as rings and earrings, alongside designs suited to more special occasions.

The festival brings together some of JGP’s established collections, each reflecting a different facet of the jewellery experience. Amalia, the brand’s real diamond jewellery collection, has emerged as a hot favourite among consumers, offering diamond pieces that combine elegance with contemporary appeal.


For weddings, Sanvi, one of JGP’s wedding jewellery collections, reflects the enduring appeal of traditional bridal jewellery, while Amrapali, a longstanding bestseller, celebrates the timeless importance of traditional and occasion-led jewellery.

You & Me adds silver jewellery to the portfolio, offering contemporary designs for those looking to express their individual style.


Together, these collections reflect the diverse ways in which consumers engage with jewellery today. A customer may choose a lightweight gold piece for regular wear, a real diamond design for a personal milestone, or traditional jewellery for a wedding or family celebration. The choice is increasingly shaped not only by the occasion, but also by individual taste, lifestyle and the versatility of the piece.

With The Great Jewellery Festival, JGP aims to celebrate this wider role of jewellery while bringing its diverse portfolio together under one platform. The festival builds on JGP’s longstanding heritage and credibility while responding to the evolving expectations of today’s jewellery consumer — from those looking for everyday pieces and contemporary designs to customers seeking wedding jewellery, diamonds and statement pieces for significant occasions.

Speaking about the festival, Sanika Pednekar, Creative Director at Jagannath Gangaram Pednekar Jewellers, said, “

Jewellery today is no longer limited to a few big occasions. People are looking for pieces they can wear to work, for a celebration, as a gift or simply because they want to. With The Great Jewellery Festival, we wanted to bring that entire spectrum together and give customers the freedom to find jewellery that fits their occasion, style and personality.”
The Great Jewellery Festival will be held from October 15 to November 15, 2026, at Jagannath Gangaram Pednekar Jewellers.
