In India, jewellery has always carried more than shine. A necklace often holds the laughter of a wedding, a grandmother’s blessing, or the quiet pride of a family tradition. These emotions form the heart of Jewels of Legacy, Edstead’s new docu-series now streaming on JioHotstar, a cinematic journey into the stories that make jewellery a part of who we are.

A Series That Looks Beyond the Sparkle

Jewels of Legacy goes deeper than craft and design. It explores the people behind four legendary jewellery brands, their philosophies, their inherited knowledge and the traditions they continue to honour. The series offers an intimate look at how artistry, memory and culture come together to create pieces that last across lifetimes.

The transition from history to humanity is seamless, weaving brand journeys with personal narratives to create a warm, immersive viewing experience.

Four Icons, Four Stories, One Heritage

• Kishandas & Co.: Hyderabad’s custodians of Nizami grandeur, reviving royal artistry and heirloom craftsmanship.

• Mahesh Notandass Jewellers:A name synonymous with couture fine jewellery, defined by elegance, restraint and timeless design.

• VBJ Since 1900: A century-old heritage brand shaped by temple-inspired design, authenticity and enduring trust

• Abaran Timeless Jewellery:A legacy rooted in purity and precision, blending tradition with contemporary style across generations.

Through archival moments, family memories and the hands of master artisans, the series reveals why these brands continue to shape India’s love for jewellery.

“Jewellery is an emotional inheritance,” says Shekhar Bhattacharjee

Reflecting on the vision behind the series, Shekhar Bhattacharjee, founder of Edstead, shares, “Heritage and trust matter more than ever. Jewels of Legacy celebrates not just the beauty of jewellery, but the stories, emotions and cultural roots that give it meaning. In India, jewellery has always been about belonging, a memory you wear.”
