Description
The Fancy Dokra Neckpiece is a striking piece of traditional tribal jewellery that showcases the distinctive beauty of Dokra metalwork. The necklace features intricately designed metal elements crafted through the ancient lost-wax casting process.

Craftsmanship & Origin
Dokra (Dhokra) craft is one of the oldest known metal casting traditions in India, practiced by tribal artisans in Chhattisgarh. The jewellery is created using the lost-wax casting technique, where a wax model of the design is first prepared.
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 cavity to create the final piece. Natural materials such as coal, tree resin, and nut oil are used during the process. Once cooled, the mold is broken to reveal a unique handcrafted neckpiece.
