CaratLane unveils festive edit and 22kt gold designs
Mumbai: CaratLane, an omnichannel jewellery brand, has launched its festive edit for Diwali, featuring a variety of jewellery designs for different styles. This curation includes pieces made from diamonds and gemstones, aligning with the brand’s philosophy – #KhulKeKaroExpress.
The designs celebrate individuality, encouraging women to express themselves through their jewellery choices. The range blends contemporary style with festive charm, making it easier for customers to find pieces that suit their preferences.
This year, CaratLane also aims to leverage growing consumer interest in gold jewellery following a customs duty drop in July. The introduction of ‘Everyday 22KT’ gold, designed for the modern woman, reflects CaratLane’s commitment to offering versatile and expressive pieces.
CaratLane CCO Atul Sinha shared, “At CaratLane, jewellery is not just adornment—it’s a means of self-expression. With Festive Edit, we’re offering a diverse selection of designs that allow every woman to showcase her true personality and style, whether through diamonds, gemstones, or our newly introduced ‘Everyday 22KT’ Gold. This modern take on 22KT gold is perfect for today’s women who want to blend tradition with modern style.”
To bring this concept to life, CaratLane has launched a Diwali film that simply, yet beautifully highlights how women use jewellery as a powerful tool for self-expression. The film’s message, “Suni sabki, par kari apne mann ki”, perfectly captures the spirit of the curation—inspiring women to be unapologetically themselves and being unfazed by societal expectations.
“To differentiate CaratLane during the festive season, we loved the idea of highlighting the purpose of its jewellery as a medium of self-expression. Each stunning piece of jewellery becomes a reminder to express yourself authentically, rise above any criticism or negativity, and do only what feels right to you. Continuing from the successful “Wear Your Wins” initiative a couple of months ago, we hope this narrative resonates with women,” said BBH India CCO Parikshit Bhattaccharya.
To make the season even more exciting, CaratLane is offering 100 per cent off on making charges on 4000-plus stunning diamond designs, making it the perfect time to turn festive wishes into reality.
NATIONAL: Amazon Ads has laid out a sharply tech-led vision for the advertising industry in 2026, arguing that artificial intelligence, streaming TV and creator partnerships will combine to turn brand building into a more precise, performance-driven business.
At the heart of the shift, the company says, is the fusion of AI with Amazon’s vast trove of shopping, browsing and streaming signals, allowing advertisers to move beyond blunt reach metrics to campaigns designed around real customer behaviour.
“The future of advertising is not about reaching more people, but the right people with messages that resonate,” said Amazon Ads India head and vice president Girish Prabhu. “By combining AI with deep customer insights, we help brands move from broadcasting campaigns to having meaningful conversations wherever audiences spend their time.”
One of the biggest changes, according to Amazon Ads, will be the collapse of the wall between media planning and creative development. Retail media, powered by first-party data, is increasingly shaping everything from brand discovery to final purchase, pushing marketers to design campaigns around audience insight rather than internal instinct.
AI is also moving from a support tool to a creative engine. Agentic AI, which automates and accelerates production, is expected to make high-quality creative accessible even to small businesses, compressing weeks of work into hours and giving challengers the ability to compete with larger brands on speed and scale.
Behind the scenes, AI-driven analytics will take on a bigger role in campaign optimisation, identifying patterns, spotting opportunities and recommending actions that would previously have required teams of analysts.
Streaming TV is another big battleground. With India’s video streaming audience now above 600 million and connected TV users at 129.2 million in 2025, advertisers are set to treat streaming not just as a branding channel but as a performance engine, measured increasingly by sales, sign-ups and bookings rather than just reach.
Finally, Amazon Ads sees creators and contextual advertising reshaping how brands tell stories. Creators will act less like influencers and more like long-term partners, while scene-aware ads on streaming platforms will allow brands to insert hyper-relevant offers into the flow of what viewers are watching.
Taken together, Amazon Ads argues, these shifts mark a move towards advertising that is both more human and more measurable, where AI handles the complexity, and creativity does the persuading.
