Nila brass necklace – Blue macrame cord and Dhokra beads
Nila is the only brass necklace in the collection with a blue macrame cord: where all other models feature the classic black cord, this braided electric blue completely changes the visual register. The dense central section of small, tightly strung golden brass beads creates an immediate warm-cold contrast between metal and textile. A brass jewel that catches the eye as much for its color as for its pattern.
The central beads are individually cast using the Dhokra process before being tightly strung together. Their slight irregularity in shape gives the section an organic texture that a uniform industrial bead would not produce. The 62 cm length positions Nila exactly between a choker and a long necklace: short enough to remain structured, long enough not to feel tight. A brass necklace that embraces color rather than shying away from it.

How to wear it
Nila's blue cord calls for terracotta, ochre, or off-white hues. Among the collection's brass jewelry, it forms a natural duo with the Meera earrings (round, understated) which do not compete with the colorful cord.
