Zoya’s Her Again Collection Turns Indian Spices Into High Jewellery
Zoya is a jewellery brand that has made a new collection called Her Again.
It takes ideas from spices such as turmeric, saffron, cardamom, mace and cloves.
The colours and shapes of these spices are used to inspire jewellery, rather than copied exactly.
The brand says spices can bring back memories of home, celebrations and family traditions.
Musician Anoushka Shankar is the collection’s muse.
The jewellery uses colourful gemstones and detailed handwork.
Some pieces took thousands of hours to make.
The collection connects familiar Indian ideas with a contemporary jewellery style.
Zoya unveiled Her Again, a high jewellery collection inspired by Indian spices, memory and colour.
Sitarist and composer Anoushka Shankar is the collection’s muse.
The collection uses gemstones including rubellite, emerald, Madeira citrine, garnet, heliodor and yellow sapphire.
The Eternal Ember Necklace features 748 stones, including a 5.4-carat cabochon Mandarin garnet, and took 2,112 hours to craft.
Amber Bliss pieces draw on turmeric’s golden colour, while other designs reference mace, cardamom and cloves.
