The Story Behind Chokmoki's 1955 Kolkata Workshop

Chokmoki began in 1955 as a family silver workshop in Kolkata. The benches in Birati still hold the same tools used to shape 92.5 sterling silver — 92.5% pure silver alloyed for strength, then hallmarked before it leaves the studio.

Every ring, earring, and necklace is made here, not assembled from imported blanks. Stone setting, polishing, and finishing happen in the same rooms where the first generation learned the craft.

That continuity is the point. A Chokmoki piece is sterling silver from a Kolkata workshop that has been doing this work for seventy years, for women who want jewellery that will still read as silver decades from now.

Visit is by appointment at 575, MB Rd, Birati, Kolkata, West Bengal 700051. The collection is 92.5 sterling silver throughout — rings, earrings, pendants — made to be worn every day.
