Since the launch of Sabyasachi Jewellery, it’s been my mission to make and showcase the finest of Indian jewellery craftsmanship across the world. I think it was finally time for my first High Jewellery show in India,” says ace designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee. “I wanted it to be an intimate and focused affair for my customers in India. The collection combines the best of craftsmanship, aesthetic exuberance, and the most exclusive of gemstones. I really wanted to push the boundaries of Sabyasachi Jewellery.”

The maximalist designer known for his single-minded focus on building a brand —he sold a 51 per cent stake to Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Ltd (ABFRL) in 2021 to ensure longevity and global growth of his brand—timed his first high jewellery show in the country as a fitting end to a year filled with many highlights, including the opening of his 25,000 sq ft flagship store in Mumbai, and his Animal Ball presentation at London’s Lancaster House.
