ZOYA Unveils ‘Her Again’ High Jewellery Collection Inspired by India’s Spices
Anoushka Shankar becomes the muse for ZOYA’s latest collection celebrating memory, colour and India’s rich cultural heritage
Hyderabad, October 2026: ZOYA, the luxury jewellery atelier from the Tata Group, has unveiled ‘Her Again’, a new High Jewellery collection inspired by India’s enduring cultural language of spices and the memories associated with them. The collection reinterprets familiar sensory experiences through ZOYA’s distinctive design vocabulary, bringing together expressive colours, unusual gemstones and intricate craftsmanship.
Drawing inspiration from the rituals and memories that connect people to their past, Her Again explores the intimate journey of a woman returning to herself. The collection transforms familiar elements of India’s cultural landscape into contemporary High Jewellery through a combination of gemstone mastery and detailed craftsmanship.
The golden warmth of turmeric, deep red of mace, cardamom green, and the richness of saffron and rose serve as visual pathways into memory. These colours reflect different facets of femininity – curiosity, playfulness, spontaneity, expression and individuality.
The collection features a rich and unexpected palette of natural gemstones, including rubellite, emerald, Madeira citrine, Orissa rose garnet, golden heliodor and yellow sapphire. Set in intricate compositions and crafted over thousands of hours, the gemstones reinterpret familiar cultural references through ZOYA’s contemporary design language.
Anoushka Shankar as the muse
Internationally acclaimed sitarist and composer Anoushka Shankar is the cultural voice of the campaign. Known for developing a distinctive musical language across cultures and genres, Shankar has carried her Indian heritage into an evolving and deeply personal creative practice.
Speaking about the collection, Anoushka Shankar said, “What I love about ZOYA is the way it takes what we inherit and allows it to evolve through colour, gemstones and craft. I’ve always believed you can be deeply rooted in a culture and still speak to the world in a way that feels relevant, simply through the lens of your own experience. ZOYA captures that beautifully, creating pieces that feel timeless in spirit, yet fresh, inventive and entirely their own.”
Arun Narayan, Chief Executive Officer – Jewellery, Titan Company Limited, said India offers an extraordinary source of inspiration for jewellery design through its cultural heritage, vibrant colours, materials and craftsmanship.
“At ZOYA, we see an opportunity to reinterpret these influences through a distinctive design lens, creating High Jewellery where meaning and emotional resonance are as integral as rarity and artistry,” he said.
According to Narayan, Her Again reflects ZOYA’s approach of drawing from India’s richness and diversity while expressing it in a contemporary and personal manner. He added that Anoushka Shankar embodies this vision through her creative journey and her ability to find new expressions of Indian influences for global audiences.
