Chandra Brass Necklace – Multi-strand Dhokra Golden and Rosé Beads
Chandra is the densest and most spectacular brass necklace in the collection: a multi-strand adornment of small cylindrical Dhokra beads, blending gold and rosé in a subtle gradient. Where Kiran features three clean and understated strands, Chandra multiplies the strands to form a volume that evokes a true neck ornament rather than a simple piece of jewelry. The golden-rosé two-tone effect is unique in the range.
Each cylindrical bead is individually cast in brass using the Dhokra technique, which explains why the mix of tones is not uniform: some beads lean towards warm gold, others towards coppery rosé, depending on their position in the clay mold during casting. This uncontrolled variation is the signature of lost wax casting, impossible to reproduce industrially. A brass jewel whose visual richness entirely stems from the quantity of hand-cast metal it contains.

How to wear it
Chandra's volume requires little accompaniment: discreet earrings like Tara, and an open-neck outfit to let the adornment occupy the space. This is the brass necklace in the collection for days when you want the jewelry to speak for itself.
