Dokra is a lost-wax metal casting technique that originated in India over 4000 years ago. Since then, it has been a tradition that is still maintained and continued by some blacksmiths in villages of West Bengal and Orissa. Each object is handcrafted with its own mold, which is broken after firing. Thus, every small metal piece is unique. Handcrafted Dokra Jewelry From Dokra bracelets to Dokra necklaces to Dokra earrings – Dokra jewelry is traditionally handcrafted and brought to life. The subtly shiny gold surface of Dokra jewelry does not tarnish, making it a long-lasting and beautiful jewelry companion. Its uniqueness gives the wearer of Dokra jewelry a special and individual touch that stands out distinctly from all other types of jewelry. Dokra Jewelry from India We traveled to India and visited families who keep the Dokra tradition alive. The handcrafted Dokra jewelry is fairly produced and exhibits a sustainable character. Each piece of jewelry tells a story and is part of a centuries-old tradition. We are grateful partners and are pleased to represent the Indian Dokra tradition in the Western world.
