An evening celebrating Zoya’s storied legacy with Gauri Khan

Design has long served as the cornerstone of identity for iconic houses of fine jewellery. From Cartier’s spirit of innovation epitomised by its pioneering use of platinum, to Bulgari’s bold, colorful creations, inspired by the grandeur of Rome and Van Cleef & Arpels intricate craftsmanship, jewellery design has shaped trends and influenced generations of designers with their unique design sensibilities. In India, Zoya, from the House of Tata celebrated its storied legacy over the last 15 years, raising a toast to its eternal muse, the Zoya Woman. 

“Zoya stands unwaveringly proud of its Indian roots and cultural legacy,” stated Amanpreet Ahluwalia. “Each Zoya creation seamlessly intertwines the richness of traditional Indian craftsmanship with a contemporary perspective and serves as a resplendent reminder to women everywhere that their true beauty lies in embracing their uniqueness.”

For this special evening, Zoya selected four exquisite collections of wearable art rich with meaning. Each rare creation, embodied the essence of the Zoya Woman, embracing her true self with grace and confidence.

Zoya’s Rooted drew metaphoric inspiration from the resilience of rainforests, honouring the inner strength of the Zoya Woman, with vibrant spirit. Inspired by the rich heritage of the eternal city, Zoya’s Banaras captured her fascination for the city’s cultural splendour. Incorporating rare materials and ancient techniques, such as engraving and intricate enamelling, Banaras paid homage to the city’s iconic rituals and landmarks, encapsulating their mystical allure in every piece. 

With a poetic narrative and exceptional gemstones, Zoya’s Beyond – A Boundless Journey, inspired by the majestic Indus river symbolised the feminine spirit as a force of nature, capturing the myriad stages of a woman’s existence. Zoya’s high jewellery collection, Her Becoming created a revolutionary look in white diamonds inspired by ancient Ikat patterns. Featuring unusual stone cuts like Cadillacs, trapezoids and custom-cut baguettes the collection celebrated the Zoya Woman’s journey to self-realisation, reimagining traditional silhouettes with contemporary flair while embodying the essence of modern femininity.

“I am delighted to join Zoya in celebrating its iconic collections that narrate stories from India to the world. The atelier continues to redefine luxury jewellery for the modern era with its collections,” said Gauri Khan. “Whether it’s a statement necklace or a delicate bracelet, every piece speaks volumes about the woman who wears it – confident, fearless, and unapologetically herself.”

In the world of Zoya, where every creation is a masterpiece and every woman a muse, the evening was a testament to the enduring allure of timeless beauty. And with friends like Gauri Khan by its side, this luxury atelier’s legacy shines brighter than ever.

At the event Gauri Khan wore a magnificent necklace from Zoya’s ‘Her Becoming’ collection titled ‘A Radiant Revelation’ crafted with mastery and elegance. This necklace seamlessly weaves 738 diamonds with 132 diversely cut natural rubies. A 1.00 Ct radiant-cut solitaire sits at its heart, magnified by vertically aligned baguettes inspired by the ancient art of weaving Ikat. This high jewellery necklace is a testament to Zoya’s expert craftsmanship setting the delicate, square-set rubies, and sophisticated assembly of diamonds to ensure fabric like fluidity for a flawless embrace to any neckline.
