Tri-Kundala | Dokra Collar Necklace

Merging ancient tribal symbolism with modern Scandinavian-inspired minimalism, the Tri-Kundala Hasli reinterprets the classic Indian torque necklace (hasli). The rigid, crescent-contoured double-wire frame is detailed with fine coiled binding wraps and anchors three hand-formed spiral sun discs (kundala): two flanking coils and an elongated central drop that draws the eye downward. Dokra artisans form each concentric spiral whorl and wire accent by hand using flexible beeswax threads laid over an earthen clay base before casting in traditional open wood-fired kilns. Once molten brass displaces the lost wax, each piece emerges with an antique satin-gold glow, subtle organic surface textures, and natural cast variations unique to true cire-perdue craft. Anchored by sleek black thread-wrapped terminal sleeves on an adjustable hand-braided dori with a sliding bead knot, it rests flush against the collarbone. An architectural statement to pair with high-neck kurtas, Jamdani cotton sarees, or minimal contemporary open-collar shirts.
