Tribe Amrapali Unveils the Jewellery Behind Ram’s First Look in Ramayana

The official jewellery partner brings mythology, craftsmanship, and cinematic vision together for the epic’s first look

July 2026: As the world witnesses the first glimpse of Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram in Ramayana, one of Indian cinema’s most ambitious mythological spectacles, an extraordinary story of artistry, heritage, and craftsmanship unfolds behind the scenes. Tribe Amrapali, the official jewellery partner for the cinematic epic, has crafted the intricate jewellery that adorns the film’s characters, translating centuries of mythology, symbolism, and Indian craftsmanship into a visual language for a new generation.

Directed by Nitesh Tiwari and filmed for IMAX, Ramayana is a grand cinematic retelling of one of India’s most revered epics, set for a global release during Diwali 2026 and 2027. Drawing inspiration from one of the most celebrated epics of all time, Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana is set to recreate its timeless emotions and grandeur on a massive cinematic scale. The film features Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram and Sai Pallavi as Sita, while Yash takes on the powerful role of Formidable Ravana. Sunny Deol portrays the mighty Hanuman, with Ravi Dubey stepping into the role of Lakshman.

For Tribe Amrapali, this collaboration extends far beyond jewellery design; it is a tribute to a timeless cultural legacy. Over a period of more than 18 months, the brand’s design team, under the creative leadership of Tarang Arora and in close collaboration with the film’s creative team, undertook extensive research into mythology, ancient Indian ornamentation, temple art, sculptures, and symbolic narratives to create a jewellery language that feels authentic to the world of Ramayana while meeting the scale and visual grandeur of modern cinema.

At the heart of Ram’s first look is a 335-gram statement necklace inspired by Kodanda, Lord Ram’s divine bow, symbolising strength, righteousness, and divine purpose. Crafted in silver and brass, the ornament serves as a visual expression of Ram’s noble character, his Suryavanshi lineage, and his embodiment of dharma. The design incorporates a rich tapestry of symbolic motifs – circular medallions inspired by the Dharma Chakra, sun motifs representing the Solar Dynasty, lotus elements signifying purity and divinity, and intricate floral details drawn from the sacred gardens of Mithila and the Pushp Vatika, where Ram and Sita’s journey first intertwined.

The jewellery showcases a remarkable blend of traditional craftsmanship and intricate metalwork. Embossed relief techniques lend depth and dimension to the floral motifs and medallions, while fine engraving and chasing bring intricate surface textures to life. Filigree-inspired openwork adds delicacy to the central pendant, while granulation-inspired beadwork enhances the ornamental borders. The braided-chain construction creates a textile-like richness while maintaining structural integrity. Each component, from the motifs and chains to the central pendant, was individually crafted, assembled, and finished with meticulous attention to detail, resulting in a piece that reflects the regal grandeur and spiritual essence of Lord Ram.
