Sooonar Annual
The year, bound.
Every Designer of the Week, every shortlist, every Journal essay, every Atelier Visit transcript — collected into a single hardcover volume each January.
We make it because feeds disappear and printed objects don’t. The Annual is what a year of Indian jewellery design will look like in twenty years, when someone needs to know what was happening now.

Designer of the Year
The cover. Twenty pages. The piece that defined what Indian jewellery design did this year.
Shortlists, in full
Every shortlisted piece of the year, indexed by week. The work that came close, in print.
The Journal anthology
All 50+ Journal essays of the year. The arguments, the conversations, the editorial premise.

Common questions
Do I have to be featured to be in it?
Yes — only Designers of the Week and shortlisted pieces appear. We don’t sell placement.
Can I buy advertising space?
No. The Annual carries no ads. If a designer or studio is in it, it’s because they earned recognition that year.
Will it ship internationally?
Yes — shipping calculated at checkout. EU and US add ~₹1,200.
Is there a digital version?
No. The Annual is intentionally a printed object. Issues remain searchable on Sooonar.com through the Journal index.
