About me

I'm Neha Krishna, the creative force behind Atelier Maharanibagh. I love dressing up and supporting others to discover their unique styles. In my previous life, I navigated the corporate landscapes of Google and Amazon. Drawing inspiration from iconic figures such as Coco Chanel and Dolce and Gabbana, I'm equally enamored with the artistic brilliance of designers like Sabyasachi.

Fashion and jewelry serve as my canvas for self-expression, and I refuse to be confined by any rulebook. I bring my authentic self to this world, fostering a space where individuality shines. Stay BEAUTIFUL, inside & out! Love, Xo

Crafted through defiance

I was raised in Jaipur, India, surrounded by a legacy of distinction. My father, a United Nations diplomat, and my paternal aunt, the daughter-in-law of India's second prime minister, Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri, instilled in me a rich heritage. Despite growing up in a conservative environment, shielded from the allure of glamor by my protective father, my rebellious spirit led me to challenge boundaries and break rules.

Against the odds, I ventured into the world of fashion, defying societal expectations. My journey took an unexpected turn when I participated in pageants, eventually winning titles like Ms. India Washington and later, Asia Washington USA. These experiences marked my rebellious path into the realm of fashion and self-expression.

Jewelry encounter

Expressing my fondness for affordable jewelry, I find immense joy in the charm of pieces that beautifully balance cost-effectiveness with exquisite design. My preference lies in discovering treasures that not only compliment my style but also respect my budget. It's the thrill of finding unique and well-crafted pieces that don't break the bank, allowing me to indulge in the pleasure of accessorizing without compromising on quality or aesthetics. Affordable jewelry, to me, embodies the perfect blend of financial prudence and style expression, making each piece a delightful addition to my collection.

Here at Maharanibagh you will find gorgeous pieces that go from classics to designer inspired to the latest kundan and polki. There is a little bit for everyone and for all pockets.

I’m of the opinion that…

Getting dressed should bring joy.. My approach to dressing is consistent, whether for work or a holiday—prioritizing comfort yet embracing joy and fun. I like owning classic pieces but I also love the latest and the trendiest trinkets!

Also why confine your jewelry to drawers and bank vaults, only to be brought out for a 'special' moment? What's the purpose of a diamond necklace if it can't be worn every day? In the end, clothes and jewelry are just things. They shouldn't demand a fortune to possess.

Where is my jewelry made?

My jewelry is for most part made in India but we also curate and source from jewelers in Italy and Belgium. Regardless of which part of the world it comes from, I can proudly say it is “Made with love” by many wonderful women and small artisans around the globe. By buying from Atelier Maharanibagh, you are supporting these small businesses and craftswomen, and I can tell you that it truly makes all the difference.

LOVE, xoxo!

Founder & Style Director
