Rooted in a lost adornment tradition from Kutch and Saurashtra, the Akota earrings reinterpret a historic Rabari ear ornament through a modern lens. Once worn as protective ear plug amulets, the form carried meanings of resilience, identity, and safeguarding across generations. Defined by its sculptural shield-like silhouette and suspended amulet detail, each curve feels archival yet strikingly contemporary, designed to honor the spirit of the original while bringing lightness and ease to everyday wear.

Antique silver naturally oxidises over time when exposed to oxygen, forming a darkened surface known as patina. This gradual oxidation is what gives vintage and archival silver its depth, contrast, and character.

Each MAABAE piece is intentionally finished using a specialised oxidizer ion process after plating to create this vintage-inspired darkened finish. This process enhances the shadows and textures of the design and gives every piece its antique look. Your jewellery will continue to oxidise naturally over time.

Our jewelry is handcrafted to last.

To keep the quality of your special piece, we suggest avoiding water contact or using any harsh cleaning products.

Cultural Expression

The Akota, a lost historical ear ornament once worn by the Rabari communities of Kutch and Saurashtra, Gujarat, this silhouette draws from a lineage of adornment shaped by protection, migration, and survival. Traditionally worn as ear plug amulets, Akota forms were believed to shield the wearer, carrying blessings and resilience through desert landscapes, pastoral life, and ceremony.

The Akota’s distinctive shield-like silhouette and suspended amulet detail gave the form both symbolic and sculptural presence. Historically crafted in silver and worn within stretched piercings, the ornament balanced strength, identity, and protection in a single form.

Our interpretation reimagines the archival Akota through a modern lens, refining its proportions into a lightweight sculptural stud designed for contemporary wear. Cleaner edges, softened weight, and restrained detailing preserve the spirit of the original while making it effortless for everyday life. The result is an earring rooted in heritage yet undeniably modern — bold, grounded, and quietly powerful.

Handcrafted with love in Jaipur, India.

From our Founder

MAABAE was born from the philosophy that when we blend our cultures, we find home.

Our design language is rooted in this idea. Inspired by the heritage of archival silver and reimagining it through a modern lens for today’s wardrobe. I’ve always been drawn to the history held in old-world jewelry - its weight, its patina, its soul. Every piece we create lives between past and present: bold, sculptural forms designed to move with the contemporary silhouette, while carrying the spirit of where they came from.
