De Beers sets its intentions high with a cosmic spin on diamond desire
MUMBAI: When the universe sends a sign, De Beers wants it worn around your neck. With a celestial wink at the booming culture of manifestation, De Beers Group has launched Love From Universe, an integrated campaign that reframes natural diamonds as modern talismans of clarity, intention and self-belief, rather than ornamental luxury.
At the centre of the campaign sits the Natural Diamond Intention Pendant, designed for women who see jewellery not merely as adornment but as an emotional ritual, aligned to purpose and personal visioning. It taps into a cultural moment where affirmations, vision boards and cosmic alignment have become part of the everyday vocabulary of ambition.
The hero film, starring Shreya Dhanwanthary, captures this shift beautifully. Set against the quiet focus of a 2026 vision-board ritual, the narrative follows a woman articulating her aspirations with intention culminating in the striking realisation, “To manifest my best life, a billion years of cosmic energy, from nature’s heart to mine; a natural diamond.”
What might once have been a gift now becomes a conscious choice rooted in self-worth.
To extend the universe further, De Beers has enlisted Tamannaah Bhatia, Athiya Shetty and Sania Mirza, each using the Intention Pendant to express their personal manifestation journeys. From athletic resilience to artistic reinvention, their creator-led storytelling underscores the campaign’s positioning: diamonds as companions in growth, not trophies.
Adding to the momentum is Manifestival 2026, an immersive IRL experience inviting creators to craft vision boards in a guided, shared environment transforming self-reflection into a social, cultural experience.
Love From Universe is no soft launch. De Beers is rolling out a 360° push across 16 cities, using television, print, radio, cinema, outdoor, digital and social formats. Mumbai and Delhi lead the pack with marquee print placements and premium outdoor, giving the campaign both cultural salience and top-funnel dominance.
The pendants will be available through 20 plus manufacturing partners’ national retail networks, with customisable campaign assets accessible on the INDRA (Indian Natural Diamond Retailers Alliance) portal, enabling retailers to tailor storytelling for their markets.
Running through January 2026, the campaign smartly aligns with the season of resets when consumers are already reflecting, re-evaluating and setting intentions. By positioning natural diamonds as symbols of personal clarity rather than festive gifting, De Beers signals a shift in luxury behaviour, inward, intentional, individual.
With Love From Universe, De Beers continues its effort to anchor natural diamonds in contemporary emotional language keeping them timeless, yet tuned into evolving codes of self-expression and modern spirituality.
The Natural Diamond Intention Pendants are now available across natural diamond jewellers nationwide.

Collective Artists Network reshuffles talent leadership
Fiona D’Souza, Jinal Jhaveri and Arjun Banerjee take expanded roles in core division.
MUMBAI: Collective Artists Network just handed the talent baton to its homegrown stars because when your agents have been building careers this long, it’s time to let them run the show. Collective Artists Network has announced the next phase of leadership for its talent management business, elevating senior agents Fiona D’Souza, Jinal Jhaveri and Arjun Banerjee to expanded roles within the division. The move strengthens the company’s foundational talent arm while it continues to grow into content creation and production-led ventures.
Each of the three has played a significant part in shaping artist careers across films, digital platforms and brand partnerships. Together they now represent the next generation of leadership for Collective’s talent operations, with a continued focus on long-term career building, strong partnerships and adapting representation to a fast-changing media landscape.
Collective Artists Network founder and Group CEO Vijay Subramaniam remains actively involved in guiding artist strategy and key relationships. He said, “Talent management has been the foundation on which Collective was built, and that philosophy continues to guide how we grow the company. As we enter this next phase, it’s important that the people leading this business have both deep context and long-term convictions.”
Collective Artists Network partner and head of talent Janahavi Rawal added, “Collective’s talent business has always been built on trust, long-term thinking, and a deep understanding of where artists want to go next. Fiona, Jinal, and Arjun have each played an important role in shaping the careers of the artists we represent, and this phase is about empowering our senior agents further while building the right support systems around them.”
The leadership evolution reflects Collective’s belief in promoting from within and creating clear ownership across verticals. In a talent world where yesterday’s agent is tomorrow’s partner, Collective isn’t just reshuffling chairs, it’s handing the spotlight to the people who’ve been quietly directing the show all along.
