The Man Behind the Craft
Sudhakar
Founder Maa Gold Sheet Jewellery
Over roughly 25 years, Sudhakar's journey has been shaped by persistence, experimentation and an enduring commitment to Gold Sheet Jewellery.
What began as a pursuit of a different way to create jewellery evolved into a craft refined over decades.
A necklace and a vaddanam, as presented by Sudhakar — the craft he has spent roughly 25 years refining.
Why it exists
Gold Shouldn’t Have to Mean Giving Up on the Design You Love.
Traditional solid-gold jewellery can become increasingly expensive as the amount of gold used increases. That often means customers have to compromise — choosing between the design they love and the amount of gold they can afford.
Maa Gold Sheet Jewellery was created around a different idea.
- Create the beauty.
- Reduce the gold weight.
- Keep the tradition alive.

How Gold Sheet Jewellery Comes to Life
Every piece is built in two parts: a copper base that holds the form, and a 24K gold layer that gives it the colour and richness of gold. Between them sits the work of the hands.
Base
A carefully shaped copper base forms the foundation of the piece.
Gold Sheet
A 24K gold layer is incorporated into the jewellery’s construction.
Form
The material is shaped and moulded into intricate jewellery forms.
Craft
Motifs, stones, beads and finishing details turn the structure into an ornate design.
The Finished Piece
A traditional gold-look creation, designed to be more accessible than a comparable solid-gold piece.
A note on materials
Maa Gold Sheet Jewellery is crafted using a copper base with a 24K gold layer. It is gold-sheet craftsmanship, not solid gold — an alternative way to experience the grandeur of traditional jewellery. Our showroom team will gladly walk you through any piece.

Accessible luxury
Luxury, Made More Accessible.
Not everyone wants less jewellery.
Sometimes they simply need a different way to own it.
Gold Sheet Jewellery allows us to explore larger, more intricate traditional designs while using substantially less precious gold than conventional solid-gold construction.
This difference in gold usage can create a significant difference in the final price — allowing more customers to experience elaborate jewellery designs without the same gold-weight cost associated with solid-gold pieces.
Conventional solid-gold construction
- Made from
- Gold throughout the piece
- Precious gold used
- Rises with every gram of the design
- What it offers
- The gold content of the piece itself
Maa Gold Sheet construction
- Made from
- A copper base with a 24K gold layer
- Precious gold used
- Substantially less for a comparable design
- What it offers
