As the Legacy Emerald begins its transformation from raw crystal to finished gemstones, we speak to Liran Eshed of Eshed–Gemstar, a specialist in unlocking the potential of some of the world’s most extraordinary emeralds. He takes us into the high-stakes art of cutting, why provenance and responsible sourcing now matter as much as colour and clarity, and how India’s growing community of collectors is reshaping the global conversation around fine gemstones.

For the past year, I’ve been having what I like to call my superfood girlie era. What started with the very predictable avocado slowly escalated to walnuts, chia seed pudding, kale juice and, most recently, pecans. My first proper introduction to pecans was at my sister’s house, and clearly, I was impressed because my next move was buying myself an entire kilogram during my recent trip to Kashmir. So when an invite landed for PVR INOX’s seven-week Pecan Food Festival, it felt less like a sign from the universe adding to my latest obsession.

A week ago, I headed to the Buddh International Circuit for the immersive Johnnie Walker x Mercedes-AMG experience, not quite knowing that I was about to have one of the biggest adrenaline rushes I’ve had in a very long time.

LuxeBook caught up with Sebastian Atienza, founder and director of Tres Monos, to talk punk-rock hospitality, the obsession with cocktail theatre, Buenos Aires’ social drinking culture, experimenting with Indian ingredients like kokum, and what excites him about the future of India’s bar scene.

Opening on 25 August at The Citadel, One Style Mile, Mehrauli, the new 26,000-square-foot Sabyasachi flagship is more than twice the size of its previous Delhi home. And while, yes, you’ll find fashion, High Jewellery and accessories here, calling it a retail space feels like missing the point entirely.

If Singapore is calling your name (or you’re just one flight-search spiral away from booking those tickets), consider this your cheat sheet. Here’s our edit of the coolest places to stay, eat, sip and shop in the city.

From adidas Originals’ new pet collection landing in India to Sabyasachi’s new 26,000-sq-ft Delhi flagship causing a serious case of FOMO (and queues that seem to include everyone and their mothers), fashion has had quite the week. Here’s what’s been making the style circuit lately.

I look forward to doing my beauty wrap every month, but lately, keeping up with the beauty world deserves its own calendar invite. But who’s complaining? The market is booming, with global heavyweights and homegrown favourites bringing us some fun innovations. Fragrance is having a major moment, d’you and Kay Beauty are shaking things up with promising skincare drops, and there’s even a new cushion blush in town. So, before the next batch drops, let’s catch up on what’s new in beauty this month.

Geneva Watch Days has, since its 2020 debut, become something of a horological playground for connoisseurs. Every edition brings a fresh crop of complications, clever mechanics and designs to obsess over. The 2026 edition holds a special spot for us, with Pranav Saboo, CEO of Ethos, joining the GPHG jury and bringing an Indian voice to the global watchmaking conversation. That said, here are five standout launches we’re already mentally adding to the wishlist.

Apple Park had a lot going on last night. At its September 9 event, Apple launched five new products across the iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods line-up, but the one that had everyone sitting at the edge of the seats is the iPhone Duo, Apple’s first-ever foldable iPhone.
