DOKRA JEWELLERY
“Dokra jewellery with its golden-yellow finish, traditional and contemporary designs and attractive pricing is something that everyone loves. Dokra is non–ferrous metal casting using the ‘lost-wax casting’ technique.
These types of art and jewellery are mainly made from brass scrap. Craftsmen involved in the making of Dokra jewellery rely on materials at their immediate disposal – wax, resin and firewood from the forest, riverbed clay and a firing oven made by digging a hole in the ground. Such resources might seem very easy to procure, but in tribal hamlets, where such jewellery is made, craftspersons are dependent on nature, and it is their hard work that creates Dokra Jewellery.”
