Koli-Dool Dokra Brass Earrings

Rooted in Bengal’s 4,000-year-old lost-wax (cire-perdue) metalcasting tradition, the Koli-Dool Earrings blend elemental folk iconography with sharp sculptural geometry. The silhouette centers around a tapering teardrop seed-pod (koli) that holds an expanding spiral vortex, balanced at the earlobe by an upright circular coil. Rural artisans shape every fluid curve and concentric contour by hand using kneaded beeswax threads laid over an alluvial clay core before firing in traditional earth kilns. Once the melted wax is replaced by molten brass, the earrings emerge with the warm antique glow, raw tactile ridges, and subtle asymmetries authentic to genuine Dokra craft. Fitted with comfortable post backings, they offer a lightweight, face-framing statement that styles effortlessly with handloom sarees, dhakai jamdanis, or structured contemporary western separates.
