Description
The Dokra in Blue Braided Thread is a distinctive tribal-style necklace that combines a handcrafted Dokra metal pendant with a vibrant blue braided thread. The pendant features intricate tribal motifs and textured patterns created through the traditional Dokra casting technique.
The bright blue braided thread adds a modern and colorful touch while complementing the rustic metallic finish of the pendant. This blend of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary styling makes the necklace suitable for both ethnic and casual wear.
Craftsmanship & Origin
Dokra (Dhokra) craft is one of the oldest metal casting traditions in India, practiced by tribal artisans in Chhattisgarh. The craft uses the lost-wax casting technique, where a wax model of the design is first created.
The wax model is coated with a mixture of clay and rice husk to form a mold. When heated, the wax melts away and molten metal is poured into the mold cavity. Natural materials such as coal, tree resin, and nut oil are used during the process. After cooling, the clay mold is broken to reveal the final handcrafted metal pendant. Because the mold is broken after casting, each Dokra pendant is unique.
