Craftsmanship & Origin
Dokra craft is one of India’s oldest metal casting traditions, practiced for over 4,000 years by tribal artisans in Chhattisgarh and nearby regions. The jewellery is created using the lost-wax casting method, where a wax model is coated with clay and natural materials such as rice husk.
When heated, the wax melts away and molten metal is poured into the mold to create the final design. Natural elements like clay, coal, tree resin, and nut oil are used during the process, making it a traditional and eco-friendly craft technique.
