ZOYA, the luxury jewellery atelier from the Tata Group, has unveiled Her Again, a new High Jewellery collection inspired by India’s spices and their association with memory, rituals and cultural heritage.
The collection interprets familiar Indian references through colour, gemstones and intricate craftsmanship. Turmeric, mace, cardamom, saffron and rose provide the inspiration for a palette featuring rubellite, emerald, Madeira Citrine, Orissa rose garnet, golden heliodor and yellow sapphire.
According to ZOYA, the collection explores the idea of a woman reconnecting with different facets of herself through colour and jewellery. The pieces combine natural gemstones with detailed compositions developed through extensive craftsmanship.
Internationally acclaimed sitarist and composer Anoushka Shankar is the muse for the Her Again campaign. Her creative work, which draws on Indian heritage while engaging with different musical traditions and genres, forms part of the campaign’s cultural narrative.
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, from its rich cultural heritage and vibrant colours to the materials and craftsmanship that have shaped its visual language over centuries. 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. Her Again reflects this approach, drawing from India’s richness and diversity while expressing it in a way that is contemporary, personal, and unmistakably our own. Anoushka Shankar embodies this vision through a creative journey that has continually found new and imaginative expressions of her Indian influences, bringing them to global audiences with authenticity and artistic depth.”
Selected Pieces from the ‘Her Again’ Collection

Afterglow Ring
The Afterglow Ring features a 2.7-carat rubellite set within custom-cut matte Rock Crystal. Sculptural elements inspired by mace surround the central stone, while Zambian emeralds reference the form and colour of cardamom.
The design combines stone-on-stone craftsmanship with contrasting crimson, green and translucent tones.
Eternal Ember Earrings
The Eternal Ember Earrings feature two rubellites with a combined weight of 7 carats. Diamonds and detailed settings enhance the colour and depth of the gemstones.
Inspired by the warmth of Indian spices, the earrings use colour and form to reference the fiery character of mace and the collection’s broader connection to memory.
Unbound Bangle
The Unbound Bangle combines 6.4 carats of rubellites, Orissa rose garnets and diamonds. Its design draws on clove buds and unfurling mace, incorporating fretwork and sculpted details.
The piece continues the collection’s use of deep crimson tones and spice-inspired forms.
Amber Bliss Earrings
The Amber Bliss Earrings feature 22 carats of Madeira Citrine, complemented by pink tourmalines, sapphires and diamonds.
Marigold-inspired forms frame the citrines, while an open-back setting allows light to pass through the gemstones. The design draws on the golden colour associated with turmeric.
Amber Bliss Necklace
The Amber Bliss Necklace is centred on a 38-carat Madeira Citrine, surrounded by pink tourmalines, orange and yellow sapphires, and diamonds.
Sculpted marigold forms create the structure around the central gemstone, while the open-back setting highlights the citrine’s colour and depth. The necklace required more than 1,000 hours of craftsmanship.
Through Her Again, ZOYA uses India’s spice palette as a starting point for a High Jewellery collection centred on gemstones, colour, craftsmanship and cultural references. The collection brings these elements together through a contemporary interpretation of Indian design influences.
