When Jewellery Speaks: Meet Mukhi Sisters

26 Feb 2025

Jewellery is more than just an accessory; it is a form of storytelling, a personal expression of identity, and, in the case of Mukhi Sisters, a fusion of heritage and innovation. Known for their vibrant, personality-driven designs, sisters Maya, Meena, and Zeenat Mukhi have carved a niche in the world of fine jewelry by creating pieces that resonate with deep symbolism and individuality. In this exclusive conversation, the Mukhi Sisters share insights into their creative process, inspirations, and the emotional connections their jewelry fosters.

Mukhi Sisters' collections are known for their rich and evocative colour palettes. However, rather than consciously selecting hues, they let gemstones “speak” to them.

"We are not the ones who decide on the colour palettes; it’s actually the gemstones we are 'feeling' that create the color palette. The energy of each collection is derived from the energy emitted by the gemstones. This sets the tone for storytelling, and even beyond that, we believe it sets the tone for a personal story between the wearer and the piece of jewelry. There is a fusion of energies and a story that has yet to be told, and that is the magic of wearing our pieces," the sisters explain.

Every Mukhi Sisters piece carries a story, often rooted in personal experiences. For Maya, becoming a mother last year was a transformative experience, inspiring her to wear the Harmony Guard power charm pendant, symbolizing protection and balance. Meena finds strength in her "Better Than Yesterday" pendant, a reminder of self-improvement and continuous learning. Zeenat, meanwhile, cherishes her Ray Ring, an asymmetric piece that embodies presence and grounding energy.

Coming from a family of jewellers, the Mukhi Sisters seamlessly blend tradition with contemporary aesthetics. "We were raised in a family of jewellers on both our paternal and maternal sides, and when we say raised in this environment, we mean it was part of our everyday life. Our conversations, trips, inspirations, and gifts revolved around gems, jewellery, and design. It’s in our blood. While we deeply respect our parents' influence, we have also created our own formula, the Mukhi Sisters formula, which defines who we are today."

Much like an artist painting on a canvas, the sisters translate personal experiences into their designs. "Each one of our collections comes from a personal story, a specific moment in time when we felt something and translated it into a fine jewellery collection."

Mukhi Sisters’ creations are not about imposing trends but rather offering pieces that allow wearers to express themselves. "Mukhi Sisters is a style language and a love language. We speak to those who understand our language, the ones we connect with. We do not impose trends or styles on anyone. On the contrary, we present collections, and the wearers play with them and decide on the narrative and the vibes they want to portray through our pieces."

Balancing creative visions is not always easy, but the Mukhi Sisters embrace their dynamic.

"We really don’t know! We would be lying if we told you that everything we do is balanced and perfect. All we can say is that we’re lucky to be in sync."

Jewelry has always played a role in commemorating special moments, and Mukhi Sisters ensure their designs resonate with personal milestones. "If you follow us closely on social media, you’ll build a puzzle and understand where we’re coming from. We were born in a house where any reason was a cause for celebration, and our parents used to offer us jewelry on these occasions. To say it with jewellery — big or small — is our love language, and that’s why we accompany our clients on their journeys through our pieces."

At its core, Mukhi Sisters’ jewellery is about empowerment and joy. "We hope that our clients feel happy, first of all, when they’re wearing our pieces. We want our pieces to remind them how strong they are, that they are loved, that they are confident. And on top of that, they are unique. In a world that’s moving faster than ever, and where someone is always telling you how to be and what to buy, they are true to themselves and to their own aesthetics, and that is their superpower."

Through their deeply personal, evocative designs, the Mukhi Sisters continue to redefine fine jewelry as an intimate, powerful form of self-expression. Their pieces are not just adornments; they are chapters of a story waiting to be told.
