Indriya, Aditya Birla Jewellery, in collaboration with designer Amit Aggarwal, unveiled its latest collection, ‘Orizon’, at Lakmé Fashion Week on March 21, the third day of the fashion week.
Indriya paid homage to India’s cultural heritage through polki and diamond, submitting a redefined, modern Indian expression. The show was envisioned to empower not confine; and inspire the modern Indian woman to move forward, staying rooted and carrying her heritage with pride. The rich ‘kaarigari’ will be complemented by Aggarwal’s handloom fabrics, vintage Banarasi textiles and contemporary mirrorwork thus creating a contemporary dialogue between tradition and innovation.
“Orizon” is conceived as a narrative of transformation. Light marks a rare moment of change, and the collection traces the shift from shadow to radiance -- an inner journey that moves from introspection to stepping confidently into the light. Through this progression, tradition awakens into modern expression, revealing form, feeling and purpose with renewed clarity.
Rooted in a shared reverence for innovation and emotional resonance, the collaboration between Indriya and Amit Aggarwal reflects a contemporary dialogue between heritage and evolution, structure and sensation, memory and modernity. At the heart of the partnership lies a shared belief that tradition does not confine creativity but equips it, serving as a living language that empowers new forms of expression.
The runway presentation unfolded as a visual narrative of light and form. It began with Indriya’s refined diamond pieces in minimal compositions capturing the first hints of illumination, gradually transitioning into statement Polki and gold creations where traditional forms were reimagined through contemporary geometry. The show echoed Indriya’s heritage stories of India to life through modern expressions of jewellery. Designed to empower the modern Indian woman — one who draws confidence and identity from her cultural roots - the runway brought together Indriya’s luminous interpretation of Polki and the sculptural silhouettes of Amit Aggarwal.
A defining highlight of the show was Indriya’s re-interpretation of Polki through the exploration of light, colour, and fluidity. Indriya’s master kaarigars brought exceptional craftsmanship to the forefront, moving beyond conventional techniques through the samosa dart setting — a distinctive method where the angular structure beneath each Polki stone enhances light reflection, creating a heightened brilliance and ethereal glow.
Further elevating the show was Indriya’s bold pairing of Polki with a captivating palette of tare gemstones including vivid tourmalines, deep tanzanites, rich sapphires, classic rubies and South Sea pearls. Even carved stones were layered with delicate “kissing” Polki elements, adding intimacy and dimensionality to each piece. This interplay of colour and light brought depth and individuality to every design, reinforcing the brand’s philosophy of jewellery as an experiential art to be experienced.
Innovative techniques such as wall-prong and corner-bezel settings minimised the visibility of metal, allowing gemstones to appear almost suspended — creating an aesthetic of weightless elegance. Through these distinct pillars of exceptional quality, reflective brilliance, innovative use of colour and modern fluid designs, the presentation redefined traditional Polki for the discerning, modern connoisseur as an evolving expression of legacy, artistry, and light.
At its core, Orizon traced a journey from introspection to radiance, where light became a metaphor for transformation. The presentation progressed from quiet brilliance to bold luminous expressions, mirroring the wearer’s evolution from inward reflection to confident self-expression.
Sandeep Kohli, CEO, Indriya, Aditya Birla Jewellery, said, “Lakmé Fashion Week was a powerful canvas to express how Indriya is redefining Polki and diamond for a new era through design superiority and modern intent. Our jewellery, elevated by design innovation, illuminated the runway, presenting a narrative where heritage is not a constraint, but a source of empowerment, one that allows tradition to evolve. This jewellery narrative came alive in dialogue with Amit Aggarwal’ sculptural
silhouettes, crafted from upcycled Banarasi weaves and mirror work, which set the visual language of the show. Together with Amit Aggarwal, we presented a new expression of Indian craftsmanship that feels modern and empowered, created for women who carry heritage forward."
Parallel to this narrative, Amit Aggarwal approaches design as a process of evolution. Titled “Orizon", the showcase unfolds as a carefully constructed visual journey. It begins in restraint and shadow, symbolising moments of inward reflection and quiet strength. Gradually, jewel tones, reflective surfaces, crystal embellishments and reinterpreted heritage textiles begin to emerge. As light interacts with form, the narrative evolves into one of confidence and self-expression.
The presentation culminates in softened metallics and luminous hues, evoking a refined, contemporary bridal sensibility where softness and strength coexist. Orizon becomes a metaphor for transformation—a moment where inherited tradition meets personal awakening, allowing the wearer to step into a more empowered self.
Speaking about the ensemble, Amit Aggarwal says, “Bringing ‘Orizon’ to life at Lakmé Fashion Week X FDCI was about capturing a moment of transformation. Conceived as a journey of evolution, seeing the collection unfold on the runway reaffirmed how craft continues to grow through emotion, innovation and collaboration. Working with Indriya, Aditya Birla Jewellery, allowed us to create a seamless dialogue between garment and jewellery, where both complemented one another to shape a unified narrative of transformation. The synergy between both the brands presenting ensembles is defined by precision, crafismanship, and modern allure.”
Disha Patani took centre stage as the showstopper, adorned in Indriya’s captivating jewellery, paired with Amit Aggarwal’s sculptural couture. Her presence brought Orizon to life, embodying a powerful expression of heritage reimagined, where tradition meets modernity in a luminous, contemporary form.
Within this evolving narrative, garments and jewellery remain in constant dialogue. Sculpted silhouettes and sensorial adornment complement one another, each carrying its own emotional and visual language while enhancing the presence of the other. The result is a series of ensembles that feel immersive, intentional and complete.
