I’m Rashmi Bajaj, the founder and creative vision behind Meraki by Rashmi Bajaj.

I moved from India to London in 2000, I became a mother to two beautiful children who were the most treasured parts of my life. But my entrepreneurial drive and passion for jewellery design never faded along with the dream I carried with every lullaby.

I was not only raising my children here in London, but in my mind the seed of my aspirations were gradually growing, channeling my innate creativity. But out of many bad times, this time I fell… emotionally crumbled and broken. My heart was torn into two, as I tried to keep up with my mums cancer journey and my daughters illness. I lost my sleep not for days nor weeks but for months. It took a massive toll on my physical health and emotionally, I hit rock bottom. I fell
hard, really hard and it was when I needed inspiration the most. “Every act of creation is first an act of destruction “ As said by Pablo Picasso. Finally MERAKI
was born!

I felt compelled to create something meaningful that went beyond just jewellery designs. With my instincts and diverse skills, I wanted to craft pieces that told a story and meant something special. This brand was founded on my dedication to bring unconventional, soulful jewellery to life.

My life began as I roamed amongst the love and lust of nature which has led me to weave these qualities into Meraki’s DNA and designs, from dainty floral motifs to bold organic shapes. As an avid gardener, I find endless inspiration in flowers, leaves, vines. Each collection begins with a nature walk to clear my mind and conjure new ideas.

But Meraki is not just my creative passion project – it’s my livelihood and an extension of my simple, dynamic spirit. When I’m not designing new collections, you’ll find me enjoying thrill-seeking adventures like skydiving, absorbing culture through travel, or unwinding to music Above all, I cherish the connections made through this brand – with employees, customers, and artisans worldwide who make our handcrafted pieces possible. Some of my most rewarding work is collaborating with talented craftspeople globally in order to foster the growth of artisan communities.

Meraki has seen its fair share of jubilant highs and desolate lows. Launching a business is never smooth sailing but my brand reflects the woman behind it – creative, curious, vivacious, resilient. This journey continues to inspire and fulfill me every day.

Though my path has taken unexpected turns, I have never lost sight of my north star: to create meaningful, quality pieces that evoke spirited feelings. Our devoted customers fuel my passion and give each unique design a story of its own.

I’m thrilled you get to be part of the Meraki by Rashmi Bajaj narrative. This is my story, but it’s your adventure. Let’s dream big together.
