ZOYA Unveils Spice-Inspired ‘Her Again’ Collection Featuring Sitarist Anoushka Shankar

ZOYA, Tata Group’s luxury jewellery brand, unveils ‘Her Again’, a high jewellery collection inspired by India’s spice heritage, featuring Zambian emeralds, rubellites, citrines, sapphires and diamonds in sculptural designs. Acclaimed sitarist and composer Anoushka Shankar, daughter of legendary musician Pandit Ravi Shankar fronts the campaign

Mumbai: ZOYA, the luxury high jewellery brand from the Tata Group, has unveiled its latest collection, ‘Her Again’, drawing inspiration from India's centuries-old spice heritage and its deep connection with culture, memory and identity. The collection features internationally acclaimed sitarist and composer Anoushka Shankar as the face of its campaign, bringing together artistic expression, Indian heritage and contemporary high jewellery craftsmanship.

Rooted in the sensory richness of Indian spices, Her Again reinterprets familiar botanical forms through a contemporary design language. The distinctive silhouettes of cardamom, clove buds, star anise, mace and saffron have been translated into sculptural jewellery, with each creation reflecting the intricate textures, organic movement and warm colour palettes associated with these ingredients.

Beyond its aesthetic inspiration, the collection explores themes of nostalgia, personal discovery and renewal. Through the symbolism of spices, ZOYA presents a narrative of a woman's evolving relationship with herself, drawing parallels between familiar cultural memories and the individuality expressed through fine jewellery.

The association with Anoushka Shankar strengthens the collection's narrative of heritage meeting modern expression. Recognised internationally for her ability to bridge Indian classical music with contemporary global influences, Shankar embodies the artistic dialogue at the centre of the campaign. Her participation reflects ZOYA's positioning of high jewellery as an expression of personal identity, cultural continuity and creative independence.

The campaign places Shankar within the evocative setting of an Indian spice market, where richly coloured surroundings complement the collection's warm-toned gemstones and fluid designs. The visual presentation draws on the relationship between light, movement and texture, highlighting the craftsmanship and sculptural character of the jewellery.

At the heart of Her Again is a carefully selected gemstone palette comprising Zambian emeralds, rubellites, Odisha rose garnets, Madeira citrines, golden heliodors, yellow sapphires, tourmalines and diamonds. The combination creates a spectrum of earthy golds, vibrant greens, deep reds and amber tones, reflecting the colours traditionally associated with saffron, turmeric and dried spices.

The collection incorporates open-back gemstone settings and stone-on-stone craftsmanship to enhance the passage of light and reveal the natural brilliance of individual stones. These techniques contribute to the dimensional quality of the pieces while reinforcing ZOYA's emphasis on precision, material expression and intricate detailing.

Among the collection's signature creations are the Eternal Ember Necklace, Amber Bliss Earrings, Afterglow Ring and Unbound Bangle. Each piece interprets the collection's botanical influences through distinctive forms, gemstone arrangements and contemporary proportions, balancing ornamental richness with modern design sensibilities.

Her Again reflects the growing emphasis on storytelling and cultural authenticity within India's luxury jewellery segment, where brands are increasingly drawing on indigenous artistic traditions and heritage references to develop distinctive design identities for a global audience.

With its latest launch, ZOYA continues to position Indian craftsmanship within the international high jewellery landscape, combining exceptional gemstones, contemporary design innovation and culturally rooted narratives. Through Her Again, the brand presents a collection that celebrates India's sensory heritage while exploring themes of individuality, self-expression and personal transformation.
