Marakatayugma | मरकतयुग्म
Marakata (मरकत) — deep green gemstone / emerald | Yugma (युग्म) — a pair / twin set | Pronounced: maa-ruh-KAA-tuh YOOG-muh
A handcrafted brass-alloy demi-fine drop earring — two raw green tourmaline slices, large and small, suspended in 22k Gold Plated electroformed open bezels on gold shepherd’s hook wires. Every pair is unique. Made in India.
The Design
Marakatayugma — meaning “twin green gems” — is named for the deep green gemstone at its heart. Two raw green tourmaline slices — one larger, one smaller — are linked vertically and individually wrapped in open-back electroformed 22k Gold Plated bezels. Green tourmaline in its raw form carries a richly saturated forest green, veined with natural inclusions and surface texture that no cutting or polishing could improve upon. Each pair is entirely unique in silhouette; the stone determines the form.
The upper slice connects directly to the gold shepherd’s hook; the lower hangs from a short gold link, lending the earring a quiet, unhurried movement at the jaw. The electroformed bezel — burnished and gently irregular as is the nature of the craft — frames the raw stone without overwhelming it. The result is a piece that bridges elemental materiality with considered construction: organic in origin, deliberate in execution.
Craft & Material
Handcrafted entirely in India by highly skilled karigars, Marakatayugma is made in high-quality brass alloy — anti-allergic and skin-friendly — and finished in your choice of 22k Gold Plated, 925 Silver Plated, Rose Gold Plated, or Black Rhodium Plated. Each plated finish is sealed with a protective e-coating for tarnish and wear resistance. The electroforming process deposits gold-plated metal directly against the raw stone edge, creating a bezel unique to each individual stone. No two pieces are mechanically identical — natural minor variations in stone shape, bezel outline, and surface character are inherent to handmade production and are not defects.
Why It Sells
Raw green tourmaline in slice form is one of the most visually distinctive stone presentations in the demi-fine earring market — its deep forest green with natural inclusions commands immediate attention and reads as a genuine, unprocessed material at a glance. The electroformed bezel technique — where gold follows the raw stone edge exactly — is perceived as a premium production method that communicates genuine craft investment. The double-slice cascade is a bold, distinctive silhouette that photographs powerfully at every scale. The near-guarantee of uniqueness per pair is a strong sales message for both retail and wholesale. Four finish options allow a single design to serve multiple consumer segments and price points. The 22k Gold Plated finish delivers the visual register of fine gold jewellery at a competitive wholesale price.
