Senco Gold rethinks jewellery styling with face-shape technology
KOLKATA: Choosing jewellery has long been about matching outfits. Senco Gold and Diamonds wants it to be about matching yourself.
The jewellery brand has unveiled The Shape of You, a design-led and technology-backed concept that helps women choose jewellery based on the natural contours of their face. It is the first initiative of its kind in India to use face-shape analysis as a guide to jewellery styling, turning an instinctive feeling into a more confident choice.
Developed under the creative direction of Joita Sen, director and head of marketing and design at Senco Gold and Diamonds, the concept rethinks how jewellery is discovered. The idea is simple but smart: every face has its own rhythm of curves, angles and proportions, and the right jewellery can bring these into effortless balance.
At the heart of the experience is a face-scanning and analysis feature, available both in select stores and on the Senco app. The technology studies facial structure and recommends jewellery silhouettes that complement it. Elongated designs can refine softer features, fluid curves can soften sharper lines, while statement pieces can add harmony and presence where needed.
Many women instinctively know when a piece feels right, even if they cannot quite explain why. The Shape of You gives shape to that intuition. Round faces gain definition from angular designs, square faces are softened by curves, teardrops flatter triangular shapes, chandeliers suit oblong faces, and oval and heart-shaped faces enjoy near-universal freedom. The result is guidance that feels helpful rather than restrictive.
The recommendations focus on earrings and necklaces and are curated to encourage exploration, not rules. Instead of prescribing what to wear, the concept opens up new possibilities, helping women discover designs that feel natural and personal.
“Design is about understanding before it is about creation,” said Joita Sen. “Jewellery should feel right because it reflects who you are, not because it follows a trend. With The Shape of You, we have translated instinct into insight, creating a more intuitive jewellery experience where design works in harmony with the face and the woman wearing it.”
With this launch, Senco Gold and Diamonds shifts the spotlight away from trends and firmly onto the wearer. Backed by 85 years of craftsmanship, design integrity and trust, The Shape of You carries the brand’s legacy into a more personal, thoughtful era of jewellery choice.
The feature is now live across select Senco Gold and Diamonds stores and on the Senco app, offering a fresh, face-first way to find jewellery that feels just right.

Devika Prabhu returns to Spni as business head for Hindi movies
Former Disney executive comes full circle to lead Sony’s Hindi movie channels
MUMBAI: Devika Prabhu has come full circle in her media career. She has been appointed business head for Hindi movies at Sony Pictures Networks India, returning to a network where she once worked earlier in her journey.
Prabhu announced the move while reflecting on how careers often loop back to familiar places. She joins Sony Pictures Networks India after nearly 18 years at The Walt Disney Company, where she held several senior leadership roles across content, marketing and business strategy.
Most recently, she served as vice president and business head for kids, youth and infotainment television at Disney India. In that role, she oversaw brands such as Disney and National Geographic, managing a Rs 400 crore business while steering content strategy, partnerships and digital expansion. Her work involved leading teams across programming, acquisitions, marketing and localisation while collaborating with global stakeholders.
Before that, she headed content, marketing and product for the kids and youth television portfolio, overseeing strategy across 10 channels spanning Disney Kids, UTV Youth and UTV Hindi Movies.
Earlier in her career, Prabhu spent nearly eight years at Sony Pictures Networks India, then known as Multi Screen Media, where she worked as assistant vice president for strategic planning and research.
Her return to Sony, she said, carries a sense of familiarity and renewed purpose.
“Every story has its turning points, and sometimes journeys come full circle,” she said while announcing the move, describing the role as both a fresh start and a homecoming.
Over the past two decades, Prabhu has worked across multiple facets of the media ecosystem, from brand building and strategy to programming and franchise development. She believes movies remain one of the most powerful storytelling formats, capable of shaping culture and sparking conversations long after the credits roll.
At Sony Pictures Networks India, she will lead the Hindi movies business and work with the network’s teams to expand the reach and impact of its film channels as audiences increasingly discover cinema across multiple platforms.
For Prabhu, the move marks the start of what she calls “the next act”, one focused on bringing the magic of Hindi cinema to viewers across the country.
