Sabyasachi Mukherjee partners with The Met for a multi-year collaboration, launching exquisite high jewellery inspired by ancient art and Indian craftsmanship.
Luxury designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee is taking Indian craftsmanship global through a new multi-year partnership with The Metropolitan Museum of Art, bringing ancient art to modern jewellery.
This collaboration reimagines Indian luxury by drawing from The Met’s vast 5,000-year-old collection, transforming historical objects and traditions into contemporary designs.
Byzantine Inspiration for High Jewellery
The first collection dives into the Byzantine Empire, a civilization that connected Europe and Asia from the fourth to the fifteenth century, influencing art through ancient cultural exchanges.
- It will feature elements like imperial medallions and architectural details.
- Other inspirations include ancient statuary, stonework, and religious iconography.
- Each piece is conceived, developed, and handcrafted in India by Sabyasachi’s master artisans.
Global Debut and Future Plans
For The Met, this partnership offers a fresh way to showcase historical collections through a contemporary lens, bridging past and future art and design.
- The inaugural High Jewellery collection debuts at New York Fashion Week on September 15, 2026.
- It will be available at Sabyasachi’s flagship store in New York, select Sabyasachi stores, and specialty retailers worldwide.
Future phases of this exciting collaboration will expand beyond jewellery to include accessories and clothing, continuing to blend historical narratives with contemporary luxury objects.
