Innovation was at its peak at the recently concluded COUTURE 2025 — from bold experiments with unconventional forms to the use of custom-cut gemstones—all anchored by strong narratives. Several standout pieces emerged for their striking use of colour, inventive forms, and everyday wearability.
It was equally heartening to witness two Indian high-jewellery maisons — MOKSH and Gyan Jaipur — win the COUTURE Design Awards this year, reaffirming India’s growing global recognition for jewellery aesthetics that resonate across cultures.
Studio Renn: Abstract Explorations
It was Studio Renn’s fifth outing at COUTURE this year, and true to the brand’s ethos, they unveiled a series of abstract collections in gold and diamonds inspired by everyday subjects. Delving deeply into traditional crafts, each piece served as an exploration of form, space, and content.
New additions featured silhouettes of cacti and seed-leaves, interpreted in an artistically nuanced manner. The Godna collection, drawing from indigenous tattoo motifs, was presented in striking three-dimensional forms, while the Vessel collection, inspired by utilitarian objects, pushed the boundaries with bolder shapes and innovative finishes — a play of matte and high-gloss textures in yellow and blackened gold.
The latest collections, all crafted in 18-karat gold and set with diamonds, spanned earrings, rings, bracelets, brooches, and pendants, with prices ranging from $10,000 to $50,000.
MOKSH: Delicate Delicacies
High jewellery brand MOKSH, known for its distinct design language, has a penchant for baguette-cut diamonds, fine gemstones, and intricately woven pearl backdrops. At the show, the brand presented diamond-studded cocktail rings featuring tourmalines in varied shapes as centre stones, along with delicate Bombay station chains adorned with pearls, tourmalines, and diamond motifs—each piece dainty yet rich in design detail.
Goshwara: Colour Crush
New York-based brand Goshwara by Sweta Jain offered a visual feast for gem lovers, with each piece adorned in bold, vibrant colours that infused a sense of playfulness into the sophisticated collection.
Unveiled at the show, the G-One collection reflected Sweta’s artistic vision—fusing architectural forms with fluid elegance to create striking silhouettes with a contemporary edge.
Farah Khan Atelier: Soulful Designs
Farah Khan approaches jewellery design with the eye of an artist and the sensibility of a storyteller. At COUTURE, she unveiled three collections: Rangeela (Colourful), a vibrant collection of earrings inspired by the colours of India, celebrating its cultural richness through a luminous blend of gemstones, including kunzites, morganites, chrysoprase, white opals, tanzanites, blue topaz, and citrines.
The second edition of the Amaira collection reinterprets its signature form with transparent ceramic and natural gemstones.
A harmony of style and spirituality underlined the I’m a Miracle collection, anchored by the “Aayat” monogram—Urdu for Miracle—reimagined as a four-leaf clover symbolising divine connection, hope, and individuality. The above pendant necklace is designed with diamonds and malachite.
GYAN JAIPUR: Art Meets Architecture
Built on the enduring legacy of generations, Gyan Jaipur takes pride in crafting handmade jewels that underscore India’s rich legacy of craftsmanship. They presented a wide range of collections from Reverie and Reva, to Sarai and Arch … traditional motifs reinterpreted in modern forms in a distinctly original way.
ANEKA: Artful Harmony
Aneka, the high jewellery house quietly reshaping modern luxury, distils stories into sculptural brilliance. Each collection, made with recycled gold—from Sero’s lace-like links echoing embroidery to Kaleido’s gemstone mosaics inspired by Istanbul’s harmony—reveals attention to craftsmanship. Diversa featured bold emeralds, while Limitless channelled urban ambition through architectural forms. Entwine and Poetry in Motion celebrated community and rhythm, blending ancient craft with avant-garde technique— weaving emotion into elegance.
SYNA: Future Heirlooms
In a world of fast-paced luxury, SYNA stands apart as a soulful, small-scale jewellery house built on friendship, family, and a shared love for meaningful design. Every Syna piece is a fusion of global inspiration and fine craftsmanship — a story told in saturated colour, intricate detail, and timeless form. There were many additions to the Mogul, Jardin and Cosmic collections.
