About Mahka Jewelry

Amongst a large flower and vegetable garden, ducks and a little orchard, Rachel and Brennan create heirloom quality jewelry. Rachel started the business in 2014 and has only continued to fall deeper in love, designing with the various stones she is drawn to. Brennan joined the business around the birth of their now 4 year old daughter, leaving decades of construction and architecture, and becoming the primary metalsmith bringing Rachel’s designs to life. The wife and husband team focus on exceptional quality, unmatched customer care and a yearning to delight that exceeds expectations. Each MAHKA design is the result of falling in love with a particular stone’s color, variation, movement, texture and chatoyance. Rachel’s gift as our designer is to surround each stone with silver, gold, and brass. She moves the stone and places opals above or below, she ornaments and encircles the stone. She refines the design until what has been revealed feels like it was always there. This process generates a beautiful sketch that is brought into the world as jewelry. The stones return more brilliantly than ever, surrounded and resplendent in the actualization of the design once a simple paper sketch. What's in the name MAHKA? The sound Ma holds a universal meaning for mother, creator, earth. The sound Ka is associated with spirit, breath, spark. Merged together these two sounds make MAHKA. Read their story
