Jewellery cast the oldest way
Dhokra is metal cast by the lost-wax method, a technique more than 4,000 years old. In Bengal it is kept alive chiefly in Bikna (Bankura) and Dariyapur (Purba Bardhaman), and Bengal Dokra received its GI tag in 2018. Each piece begins as a wax model wound with fine wax thread, so no two pieces are ever identical.
Inside: Dokra faceted bead necklace; Pair of Dokra paisley earrings; Display bust and earring stand. Every piece is nested in crinkle paper inside a rigid Purva Heritage gift box, ready to hand over. Each piece is modelled in clay, covered in wax and wound with fine wax thread, then coated in clay and fired: the wax melts away and molten brass takes its place. The mould is broken to free the piece, which is then cleaned and finished by hand.
Store each piece separately in the pouch or box, away from moisture and perfume. Wipe with a soft dry cloth after wearing. The antique finish will deepen naturally with time.
Assembled to order in 1–3 weeks, then cushioned, outer-cartoned and shipped across India and worldwide.
