Founder of Jewels by Moksh, Milan Chokshi believes that pure luxury is all about attention to details, and when it comes to high jewellery, it is distinguished in certain elements of designs which may not be immediately obvious. An intensive admiration of art and architecture combined with the appreciation of form and volume, as well as a good sense of ergonomy are at the heart of the brand’s jewellery making. Their spectacular and timeless necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings represent modern aesthetics and are perfectly suited to women with a refined aesthetic, with the pieces in the new ‘Empress’ collection being no exception.

So how were each of these unique bracelets made? White, yellow and black gold form a framework for keshi pearls, diamonds, sapphires or rubies. The miniature details of the bracelets make them unbelievably flexible and able to wrap delicately around the wrist. They bring to mind incredible puzzles with an endless number of details, and putting together one bracelet can take from eight to ten weeks. The most challenging of them – which is considered the ‘Empress’ hero piece – is a wide bracelet adorned with more than 400 fine pearls and 9 carats of diamonds.

Moksh over the last few years has become synonymous with using a variety of different raw materials in the same piece. We are driven to produce unseen jewels. So, while it may not be a conscious decision to use different materials, it certainly does in a way lead us in that direction, explains Milan Chokshi.

However, in striving for perfection, Moksh also carefully monitors the tactile factor, placing as much importance on comfort as on beauty. Jewellery should indulge several senses, which is why the surface of the ‘Empress’ bracelets are so smooth and pleasant to touch. If you stroke them with your hand, you don’t feel any snags, even where the gemstones are set within the precious metal.

“Jewellery is an expression of the wearer’s personality. Our aim is to enable the wearer to express themselves so we might as well design pieces that are actually wearable. What good are they if you cannot wear them?” says Milan Chokshi. This is the idea that the founder of Moksh Jewellery has managed to capture in his creations; they are works of art that you will never want to take off.
