Penélope Cruz Wears Zoya, Taking Indian Luxury Global at TIFF
Penélope Cruz wore jewellery made by the Indian brand Zoya at the Toronto International Film Festival.
The jewellery included a necklace, a ring and a bangle.
The necklace used a large golden heliodor stone and colourful sapphires.
Its colour was inspired by turmeric, a familiar part of Indian food and traditions.
The ring used a purple amethyst shaped with Zoya’s special Bloom Cut.
Zoya says its new collection is inspired by Indian colours, memories and rituals.
The company wants its jewellery to have a modern style that is recognisably its own.
Cruz’s appearance helped show that Indian luxury design can be presented on a major international red carpet.
Penélope Cruz wore Zoya’s Rekindle Necklace, Wildflower Heart Ring and Iconic Lattice Bangle at the Toronto International Film Festival.
The Rekindle Necklace features a 19-carat heliodor surrounded by yellow and pink sapphires.
The Wildflower Heart Ring contains a 13-carat amethyst in Zoya’s patented Bloom Cut, framed by pink sapphires and diamonds.
The jewellery previews Zoya’s upcoming high jewellery collection inspired by Indian spices, colours, memories and rituals.
Zoya says the TIFF appearance showcased an Indian design language internationally rather than simply adding Indian references to a global aesthetic.
