Milind Mathur

When we had dreamt of Malka, we had a lot that we wanted to achieve. We knew from the very beginning that it wasn’t just one of our campaigns. The storytelling behind everything we do is special in its own way, but Malka—Malka has been like the most demanding child. It has been the longest in the making, it has seen seasons after seasons, and the idea always remained big, only getting bigger with time. The couture collection was always imagined with queens in mind… bridal opulence at its core, but also a sense of everyday royalty. Everything was measured, layered, and deeply influenced by the elements of the Indian subcontinent… its cultures, textures, and stories coming together in one world. But for jewellery, when we met @mathurmilind and @ankitammathur , the dream just expanded further, if it even could. They didn’t hold back anywhere. Making clothes is one thing, but jewellery is a completely different ball game. And they were passionate dreamers… deeply rooted in their craft. Every vision of ours was taken and elevated with an added layer of grandeur. There really couldn’t have been a better collaboration for this campaign. The Malka jewellery, each piece on its own, carries a sense of regality, but when you pause and really look, you realise how intricate and intentional every detail is. The world we built with Malka is now out there for everyone to see. And as we conclude Malka, we wholeheartedly thank the team at @kohinoorjewellersofficial_ , for being the best at what they do, and for bringing their magic so seamlessly into ours.

The jewellery on @radhikkamadan has a presence, a certain kind of regality to it, something that holds your attention and stays with you. At the centre is a tourmaline with a story of its own, collected by 𝐌𝐫. 𝐆𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐲𝐚𝐦 𝐆𝐨𝐩𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐮𝐫, almost fifty years ago. And that really shows. Stones like this carry time within them. The years add depth, character, and a kind of strength that newer pieces rarely hold. There is something beautiful about that continuity. A gem that has existed, travelled, and found its way here, still feeling relevant, still feeling powerful. On @radhikkamadan as moomal, it completes the look in a way that feels natural. Almost as if the entire story was waiting for this one piece to come in and settle everything into place.

𝐇𝐞𝐢𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐦 𝐢𝐧 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐦 Jewellery in the Indian context carries a lineage shaped by courtly traditions, trade routes, and evolving design movements. From the gem-set ornaments of royal ateliers to the structured compositions that emerged during the Art Deco period, each era brought a distinct vocabulary of form, colour, and setting. This necklace draws from that continuum, where symmetry, proportion, and gemstone placement follow a studied sense of balance. At its centre, a carved rubelite anchors the composition with depth and intensity, a stone long associated with vitality and emotional richness. Around it, mint tourmalines introduce a softened palette, while accents of apatite and green amethyst extend the tonal range with clarity and lightness. The arrangement reflects a careful understanding of gemstone dialogue, where contrast and gradation shape the visual rhythm. Diamonds, cut in rounds and baguettes, are placed through micro pavé, prong, flush, and channel settings, allowing variation in surface and reflection. This precision in setting carries forward a tradition of fine jewellery craftsmanship where technique defines character as much as design. Set in yellow gold, the piece holds warmth and continuity, echoing the enduring preference for gold within Indian ornamentation. A single, deliberate layer that brings the entire look into focus, an outcome shaped by the brilliance of @kohinoorjewellersofficial_ , where every detail finds its place with authority.

The jewellery for Sahiban comes together like a study in balance, where each stone carries its own weight, and yet the whole feels composed, almost intuitive. At its core, tanzanite… rare, geologically singular, found only in a narrow belt near Kilimanjaro, moves between deep blue and violet with the light, giving the piece a certain fluidity. Around it, emerald drops bring in that unmistakable density of green, long associated with regality and renewal, their pear cuts allowing the colour to fall, almost like a slow extension of the form. Tourmalines, in pink and green, introduce contrast while holding a gentle continuity, stones historically valued for their wide chromatic range, here easing transitions between tones. The diamonds, cut across rounds, princess, and baguettes… shape the structure, their varied settings guiding how light travels across each surface. Set in yellow gold, the entire composition settles into a quiet warmth, where colour, light, and form move in sync, arriving at a finish that feels both deliberate and deeply resolved.

Jewellery on men was never an afterthought… it was identity, power, and poetry worn on the body. Long before minimalism became a trend, Indian men adorned themselves unapologetically… strings of pearls resting on angarkhas, emerald-studded sarpechs crowning turbans, heavy kadas circling wrists that held empires together. In courtly portraits and miniature paintings, from the ateliers of the Mughals to the romanticised canvases of Raja Ravi Varma, men appear draped in jewels not as embellishment, but as an extension of their being. Look closely and you’ll see how every piece carried meaning. The navratna wasn’t just aesthetic, it was celestial alignment. The haar wasn’t just opulence, it was lineage. Rings, armlets, turban ornaments… they marked status, yes, but also devotion, protection, even love. Maharajas, poets, warriors, they all understood adornment as language. And somewhere along the way, that ease faded into quiet corners, archived in museums, remembered in portraits, revived only occasionally in cinema or ceremonial dressing. But the truth remains: Indian men didn’t just wear jewellery… they owned it, lived in it, and let it tell their story. Here in frame is Mr. Ghanshyam Gopal Mathur—the man behind @kohinoorjewellersofficial_ , who doesn’t merely preserve a legacy, but lives it. With an instinct for heritage and an eye for timelessness, he continues to shape a language of adornment.

Jewellery in India is a living tradition… a delicate blend of craft, heritage, and emotion passed down through generations. Across regions, techniques and styles differ, yet each piece carries stories… of love, celebration, memory, and identity, holding a sacred place in personal and cultural landscapes. For this collection, it is especially meaningful because we value this immersion, and the jewellery has been given as much thought and effort as the garments themselves. While we have always approached jewellery with care in our storytelling, this time every piece has been custom-made for every look, ensuring that each accessory complements the story we want to tell. This is our way of truly honoring the roots we wanted to portray, and we hope that it resonates with the intricate amalgamation of culture, craft, and emotion that shapes who we are!

The magic of this collection is in the way it’s built. @kohinoorjewellersofficial_ ’s process is meticulous… every gemstone curated, every layer crafted with intention. Each detail adds weight and texture to our story, turning ideas into something tangible. Seeing the pieces come together has been like watching a vision take shape, a shared space of dreaming about craft, design, and narrative. It’s precise, thoughtful, and layered… the kind of process that gives the final collection a presence and depth that feels effortless, yet completely earned!

Working with @kohinoorjewellersofficial_ for the first time felt so easy and natural. Even though it was our first collaboration, it didn’t feel like that at all, it felt like we were on the same page from day one. I tell my stories through clothes, and milind does it through jewellery, and the way he thinks about each piece, the story behind it, really inspired me. It made me want to dream bigger with him for Malka, to push the vision further, because it’s rare to find someone who really gets what you’re trying to do! The whole process felt kind of magical. Seeing the jewellery come together with the costumes, really makes the process more fulfilling. Every detail felt right, and it made the story even stronger. And the best part is, this is just the beginning… There's so much more to come. Collaborating with someone who shares that same passion and care makes all the difference, and I can’t wait to see where this journey takes us!
