This collection is not merely a series of adornments but a heartfelt homage to the eternal love story of Radha and Krishna and the majestic aura of Lord Balaji.

“The Maakhan Raas collection embodies the unwavering faith and legacy of Janmashtami, a festival that has inspired generations. It was crucial for me to channel my devotion and creative vision into this collection, reflecting both the spiritual essence and artistic beauty that define this sacred occasion,”  says Pradhyuman Maloo, creative director of Nornament.

For Pradhyuman, the Maakhan Raas collection is a culmination of devotion and design, inspired by the divine tales of Radha, Krishna, and Lord Balaji. “My family has long been devoted to Krishna, and this collection needed to convey the purity and love shared between Radha and Krishna, with Lord Balaji symbolising divine grace,” explains Pradhyuman. "Through extensive research and a deep connection to our spiritual roots, we crafted pieces that are not just jewellery but symbols of faith and artistry.

The Maakhan Raas collection features a stunning array of jewellery, characterised by minimalist elegance and vibrant enameled backgrounds. “We’ve employed traditional gold settings adorned with polkis, colourful gemstones, and pearls, ensuring each piece are both lightweight and impactful,” Pradhyuman notes.
