Toron | Dokra Collar Necklace

Reinterpreting the regal silhouette of the classic Indian hasli (rigid collar necklace), the Toron-Hasli marries structural minimalism with 4,000-year-old tribal metalcraft. The centerpiece features a horizontal yoke with dual scroll finials, suspending five graduated, concentric U-shaped arches bound by fine ribbed wire sleeves. Indigenous Dokra artisans shape every arched tier and textured wrap by hand using flexible beeswax threads overlaid onto an alluvial clay core before firing in traditional wood-burning earth kilns. The lost wax gives way to molten brass, leaving behind an earthy satin-gold finish, deep tonal recesses, and organic cast variations authentic to true cire-perdue artistry. Anchored by conical, silk-thread-wrapped terminals on an adjustable deep maroon cord, this lightweight statement choker frames the collarbone effortlessly. It pairs with handspun Jamdani cotton saris, tussar silk drapes, or crisp, modern boat-neck silhouettes.
