A first-of-its-kind in Indian Luxury: Zoya and Alice Cicolini Craft a Limited-Edition Capsule
In a defining moment for Indian luxury jewellery, Zoya– India’s leading luxury jewellery atelier from the Tata Group—unveils a limited-edition capsule in collaboration with globally acclaimed British designer and curator Alice Cicolini, marking the first international creative partnership for an Indian luxury jewellery atelier. Born out of deep mutual admiration of Indian craft, the capsule pays homage to enamel—one of India’s most poetic art forms in luxury
Inspiration and Collaboration
Inspired by the architecture of Lhasa, where every layer tells a story, this collection draws from a landscape rich in form, texture, and colour Zoya, known for its industry-shifting innovation in diamonds and coloured stones, brings that same pioneering spirit to enamel in collaboration with Alice Cicolini. In Alice—whose work traces the journey of motifs across cultures and thoughtfully weaves patterns from different geographies and eras—Zoya finds a kindred spirit: a revered artist whose mastery of enamel is both instinctively playful and deeply respectful of tradition.
Collection Design
The collection has a deeply feminine soul—redefining the category through colour and craftsmanship. A palette of sage green, rose, and dew—delicately expressed through cherry blossoms, chevron patterns, and intricate enamel work—brings freshness to Alice Cicolini’s master craftsmanship. Each piece, set with uncut diamonds and finished in satin-soft 18k gold, is designed to stir the creative soul and makes her feel alive.
Artistic Legacy
A confluence of richly researched artistic legacies, this collaboration—five years in the making—merges Zoya’s contemplative, design-first ethos with Cicolini’s globally lauded practice, rooted in cultural memory, intricate craftsmanship, and the timeless power of storytelling. “When Zoya approached me with the idea of a collaboration celebrating uncut diamonds and enamel, I felt an immediate connection,” shares Alice Cicolini. “Here was a house that honoured craft, story, and soul—design that dares to be different, yet deeply meaningful.”
Reinterpreted Forms
The 19-piece capsule reinterprets classic Indian forms like balis and jhumkis through a refined architectural lens, resulting in jewellery that is time-travelled, yet entirely in the moment.
Lhasa Influence
From sculptural rings to reimagined jhumkis, yard chains, and bangles, the capsule draws from the layered mystique of Lhasa. The collection also traces the journey of Alexandra David-Néel—the first Western woman to enter Lhasa—celebrating a muse whose fearless passage across borders mirrored an even deeper journey within, much like the Zoya woman.
Chief Design Officer’s Insight
Revathi Kant, Chief Design Officer, Titan Company, adds: “At Zoya, five years of deep, deliberate enamel craftsmanship laid the foundation for this collection. In Alice, we found a true partner—someone who shares our devotion to celebrating India and helped us create a capsule that is both boundary-breaking and redefiniing. Inspired by the architecture of Lhasa, this first-of-its-kind international collaboration in Indian luxury jewellery reflects a woman who wanders freely, carrying multitudes by design—brought to life through sculptural silhouettes and feminine energy.”
Availability
Zoya and Alice Cicolini limited-edition capsule will be available by private appointment at select Zoya boutiques.
