Historical Perspective

Rachna—meaning Creation—is a story nearly a century in the making. Born in the tropical islands of Fiji in the 1920s, founder Mr. Nanji Kanji turned his dream of becoming a master goldsmith into reality, handcrafting exquisite 22ct gold jewellery that quickly became treasured by many. His passion and artistry were passed down to the next generation, led by Mr. Samji Nanji, who continued to grow the family legacy. In 1987, the family brought their heritage, skill, and reputation for excellence to Wellington, New Zealand—expanding from fine gold jewellery into the vibrant world of Indian fashion.

Current Perspective

Today, Rachna’s thrives under the vision and dedication of Jayesh and Usha Nanji, son and daughter-in-law of the late Mr. Samji Nanji. Over the past many years, the brand has evolved into a multifaceted destination—celebrated for its exclusive 22ct gold jewellery and high-class fashion clothing and accessories. With a finger always on the pulse of the latest trends, Rachna’s continues to delight a diverse clientele with style, elegance, and authenticity.

In 2013, Rachna’s proudly celebrated 25 years in Wellington, a milestone that paved the way for an Auckland expansion in 2014. While the Auckland store later closed due to COVID-19 and family commitments, the heart of the brand remains strong—continuing to serve customers nationwide with the same passion and personal touch that has defined Rachna’s for decades.
