The Makara through the elements

Pendants have a long history of providing protection and containing mystical properties. The Makara pendant, with its golden glow, meticulous design, and ferocious image, is unlike any other. Commissioned by a naval officer and forged in the 1600s by an Indian goldsmith, it shows the travel and exchange between continents.

The Makara's role as guardian of pathways and as vahanas, a vehicle of Hindu gods, makes a perfect protector against any threats. As it evokes the power of its namesake, its voyage through this story departs from the element of Earth, the materials, to its mystical, otherworldly properties and its passage through time.
