Chhatra-Koli Dokra Brass Bugadi/Ear Climbers

Rooted in Bengal’s four-millennia-old cire-perdue (lost-wax) casting traditions, the Chhatra-Koli Earrings bring sculptural drama and ancient symbolism to contemporary statement jewelry. The focal motif presents an arched halo canopy (chhatra) cradling an expanding concentric vortex, descending into a clean, elongated needle drop that creates an elegant vertical silhouette. Handcrafted by indigenous metal artisans, every sweeping curve and contour was initially formed using flexible beeswax threads laid over an alluvial clay core. Once fired in rustic pit kilns and cast in raw molten brass alloy, the earrings retain the subtle, organic textures and warm, earthy glow distinctive to authentic Dokra metalcraft. Completed with built-in ear wires for comfortable everyday wear, they make a bold companion to handwoven Jamdani sarees, tussar silk drapes, or sleek high-neck modern silhouettes.
