Senco Gold channels nature in sparkling new collection
MUMBAI: From forest to fire, Senco Gold turns nature into sparkle. Senco Gold & Diamonds, India’s leading jewellery house, has unveiled its latest collection and campaign, Elements of Nature, with Kiara Advani as the face of the campaign. The collection draws inspiration from the world around us, from the graceful curve of ocean waves and fiery glow of molten lava to the twinkle of stars and delicate forest blooms. Each piece translates these natural wonders into gold, diamond, and polki jewellery with a poetic touch.
Crafted by Senco’s master karigars, the collection celebrates strength, elegance, and the timeless beauty of women, marrying traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design. Kiara Advani embodies this elegance, reflecting the artistry and detail at the heart of Senco’s 85-year legacy.
Senco director and head of marketing & designs Joita Sen said, “With Elements of Nature, we wanted to tell a story as timeless as the earth itself. Jewellery is not just an ornament, it is a narrative. Each design captures the poetry of nature, made with devotion and detail by our artisans. This collection is for every celebration, every moment, not just weddings. We ensure every woman finds something aspirational yet personal.”
Timed for the festive and wedding season, Elements of Nature promises to be a versatile and unforgettable collection, offering brides and jewellery enthusiasts a perfect blend of heritage and modernity.
The campaign film featuring Kiara Advani is now live on Youtube and the collection is available at all Senco Gold & Diamonds stores and online at www.sencogoldanddiamonds.com.

Lululemon picks former Nike executive to be its next chief
Heidi O’Neill, who helped grow Nike into a $45 billion giant, will take the top job in September
CANADA: Lululemon has found its next chief executive, and she comes with serious credentials. The athleisure giant named Heidi O’Neill as its new CEO on Wednesday, ending a search that has left the company running on interim leadership since earlier this year. O’Neill will take charge on September 8, 2026, based out of Vancouver, and will join the board on the same day.
O’Neill brings more than three decades of experience across performance apparel, footwear and sport. The bulk of that time was spent at Nike, where she was a central figure in one of corporate sport’s great growth stories, helping take the company from a $9 billion business to a $45 billion global powerhouse. She oversaw product pipelines, brand strategy and consumer connections, and played a significant role in shaping how Nike spoke to athletes around the world. Earlier in her career, she worked in marketing for the Dockers brand at Levi Strauss. She also brings boardroom experience from Spotify Technology, Hyatt Hotels and Lithia and Driveway.
The board was unequivocal in its enthusiasm. “We selected Heidi because of the breadth of her experience, her demonstrated success delivering breakthrough ideas and initiatives at scale, and her ability to be a knowledgeable change and growth agent,” said Marti Morfitt, executive chair of Lululemon’s board.
O’Neill, for her part, was bullish. “Lululemon is an iconic brand with something rare: genuine guest love, a product ethos rooted in innovation, and a global platform still in the early stages of its potential,” she said. “My job will be to accelerate product breakthroughs, deepen the brand’s cultural relevance, and unlock growth in markets around the world.”
Until she arrives, Meghan Frank and André Maestrini will continue as interim co-CEOs, before returning to their previous senior leadership roles once O’Neill steps in.
Lululemon is betting that a Nike veteran who helped build one of the world’s most powerful sports brands can do something similar for an athleisure label that has genuine love from its customers but is still chasing its full global potential. O’Neill has done it before at scale. The question now is whether she can do it again.
