In India, jewellery has never been just an accessory. A necklace can hold the echo of a wedding song, a grandmother’s whispered blessing or the quiet dignity of a family tradition. These are the sentiments at the core of Jewels of Legacy, Edstead’s latest docu-series now streaming on JioHotstar. The show offers a cinematic exploration of the stories, memories and human connections that make jewellery an intimate part of our identity.
A Series That Goes Beyond Glitter
Rather than focusing solely on design and technique, Jewels of Legacy delves into the lives and philosophies of four legendary jewellery brands. It highlights the generational knowledge they carry, the traditions they uphold and the values that shape their artistry. History and personal storytelling flow effortlessly together, offering viewers an experience that is both heartfelt and deeply immersive.
Four Legendary Brands. Four Distinct Journeys. One Shared Heritage.
* Kishandas & Co.
The keepers of Hyderabad’s heritage jewellery, known for reviving royal craftsmanship and heirloom artistry.
* Mahesh Notandass Jewellers
A label revered for its couture fine jewellery—defined by symmetry, subtlety and timeless sophistication.
* VBJ Since 1900

Through archival footage, family recollections and the meticulous work of master artisans, the series shows why these brands continue to shape India’s enduring romance with jewellery.
“Jewellery Is an Emotional Inheritance” — Shekhar Bhattacharjee speaking about the vision behind the series, Shekhar Bhattacharjee, Founder of Edstead, shares: “Heritage and trust matter more today than ever before. Jewels of Legacy celebrates not just the beauty of jewellery, but the emotions, stories and cultural roots that give it meaning. In India, jewellery has always been about belonging—about wearing a memory.”

Edstead has built a reputation for emotionally resonant, documentary-led storytelling.
