A note from the house

A jewellery house ought to feel like a room, not a counter.

A tea is poured. A tray is brought. A craftsman comes down the hall to change a single prong if you ask him to. The light is good. There is time. This is the older way of buying jewellery — and the way we have kept open in Kozhikode, in Kochi, in Kannur, in Mangalore, in Dubai. Come in.

From the founder

“I wanted a house where jewellery would carry a woman’s individuality — drawn from our heritage, open to the world. Not a counter. A place she returns to for a lifetime.”

Meralda opened on Mavoor Road, Kozhikode in 2019. In the six years since, it has grown into a house of premium jewellery — gold, diamonds, platinum, and gems — with boutiques in Kochi, Kannur, Mangalore, and Dubai, and a craft that still begins with a sketch and a hand.

The house campaign

She is not waiting
for her moment.
She is the moment.

The woman who buys her own diamonds. BeLove and Estelle were drawn for her — jewellery that answers to no occasion but her own.

The Estelle — everyday gold

A quieter jewellery. For the desk, the dinner, the day-after.

Estelle is the line Meralda made for women who wear gold the way they wear perfume — daily, lightly, without performance. Sub-three-gram rings, slim diamond lines, single-stone studs. A jewellery you take off only to sleep.

The Stone Library — in the house tray

The House — in figures

A house with ten rooms,
each named for the woman it was made for.

Meralda is not a single line of jewellery. It is a house of ateliers under one roof — Roohani for the polki bride, BeLove for diamonds that outlast, Navah for carved heirlooms, Estelle for the every-day. Each collection has its own light, its own season, its own quiet stone.

The Atelier — four promises

A jewellery house, the older way.

A Meralda piece is held in the hand before it is wrapped. There is a chair, a tea, a tray, and a goldsmith down the hall if you want to change a single prong. Four promises stay with every piece you take home.

01 / Visit

Private appointment

Two hours, one client, one room. Coffee, the full house catalogue, and a master craftsman on call. Mornings, evenings, Sundays — on request.

02 / Forever

Lifetime exchange

Bring back any piece, any year. We weigh, value at the day’s rate, and credit the full amount against a new commission. No deduction for wear.

03 / By hand

Custom by hand

Bring a sketch, a stone, a grandmother’s necklace. Our atelier will draw three options in 72 hours and finish the commission in 4 to 6 weeks.

04 / At source

Ethical at source

BIS-hallmarked gold, IGI- and GIA-certified stones, and a written commitment to responsibly sourced diamonds. The certificate travels with the box.
