Aruna Brass Necklace – Solid Crescent Bib and Dhokra Bells
Aruna is the most substantial brass bib necklace in the collection: a large, tall, and dense cast brass crescent, finished with a row of small golden bells that sway with every movement. Where Sita features a bib of geometric spirals and Devi a bib of delicate tassels, Aruna emphasizes raw volume. Its crescent spans the entire width of the décolletage and showcases the power of lost-wax casting in its large dimensions.
Aruna's crescent is cast in a single piece using the Dhokra technique, unlike bibs composed of several assembled elements. This monobloc casting requires a larger clay mold and a greater quantity of molten metal. The small bells at the bottom are added separately after casting, threaded onto thin rings. A brass jewel that asserts its presence without artifice.

How to wear it
Aruna is the brass necklace to choose when you want a strong bib without opting for the large format of Sita. Pair it with short, discreet earrings. The low bells of the bib already provide movement, so there's no need for competition on the ears with multiple brass jewels.
