COLLABORATION ONE
HAVANA CLUB X MAISON RAKSHA
Our iconic Cuban rum brand Havana Club is turning up the glamour this festive season by adding a dazzling new look to our renowned Havana Club Añejo 7 Años rum. Blending rich Cuban heritage with cutting-edge design, we decided to collaborate with renowned jewellery designer Jonathan Raksha, known globally for his iconic pieces worn by music stars.
GOLDEN COLLABORATION
Raksha’s bespoke design adds a touch of Havana magic to your favourite rum, drawing inspiration from the ornate beauty of Havana’s architecture and featuring gold accents with intricate diamond-like details. This bottle is more than just packaging—it is a celebration of Cuban artistry. Adding a personal touch, Raksha has inscribed a handwritten note on the bottle: “Like a glimmering jewel, her waters shine like diamonds. Rich in colour & spirit. My beloved Cuba.”
Raksha's Design
Raksha, inspired by Havana’s beauty and depth, describes his creation as “a piece of jewellery sprinkled with diamonds,” reflecting his connection to the sea and its natural wonders in every detail.
Known for adorning global music stars with his iconic Grillz and custom jewellery pieces, Raksha now brings his signature flair to Havana Club’s flagship rum in an exclusive limited-edition bottle.
COLLABORATION TWO
MAISON RAKSHA X 1800 TEQUILA
Proximo Spirits-owned 1800 Tequila has unveiled what it claims is the ‘first-ever Tequila diamond’. Toronto-based jewellery designer Jonathan Raksha of Maison Raksha created the diamond using the brand’s cristalino expression.
The diamond brooch debuted on the red carpet at last night's Met Gala in New York, worn by Grammy-nominated musician, actor and producer Janelle Monáe.
The theme for this year's Met Gala was 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style'.
Raksha said: "Every detail of the 1800 Tequila diamond brooch was crafted to embody the spirit of liquid in solid form.
"On a night when all eyes are on the red carpet, it was exciting to translate my design language into something more than just a jewel, but a bold statement that introduced the brand's first Tequila diamond."
The Diamond Specifications
On its specifications, Raksha said the diamond is "5.5 carat emerald cut stone, G colour and VS1 quality".
He continued that its "set in a white gold border surrounded by smaller diamond set upside down. The setting itself rests in a 70+ carat white sapphire gem, which itself is then set in a white gold border with upside down diamonds on the front and side border. The spiky texture of the upside down diamonds is an expression of the pointy nature of agave."
Presented in a brooch, the diamond's design is inspired by 1800 Tequila's cristalino bottle and the Blue Weber agave plant. The diamond also captures 'the clarity and quality that define 1800 Cristalino', noted the brand.

Monáe added: "To shine, and to create something truly iconic, you have to think differently. It's all poetic when you think about it. Just like diamonds form under pressure, reimagining how diamonds are made takes a future-focused vision and dedication.
"To wear an ethical diamond from 1800 Tequila on the red carpet, with this year's theme, felt like a fitting tribute to that."
