Mayur-Pakhi Dokra Dangle Earrings
Description
Drawing from the rich folk avian motifs of rural Bengal, the Mayur-Pakhi Earrings celebrate the fluidity of 4,000-year-old cire-perdue (lost-wax) metalcasting. The silhouette traces an expansive, wing-like outer contour that sweeps inward to cradle an expanding concentric spiral vortex, accented at the top with a graceful scroll flourish. Rural artisans shape each dynamic sweep and delicate curve by hand using pliable beeswax threads over an alluvial clay mold before firing in traditional open-pit kilns. Once molten brass displaces the lost wax, the piece retains the soft antique-gold glow, tactile ridge variations, and subtle asymmetries authentic to genuine Dokra jewelry. Suspended from matching French wire hooks, they offer lightweight, fluid movement that frames the jawline beautifully alongside handloom Jamdani saris, raw silk kurtis, or crisp contemporary separates.
