Did you know that the famous dancing from Mohen-jo-daro (2300-1750 BC) is one of the oldest work of metal art from that period? Well, this is the Dhokra (Dokra) art form, that goes back thousands of years.
 
Named after a nomadic tribe called Dhokra Damar, the art of Dhokra was originally found in the region between Bankura and Dariapur in Bengal and across mineral-rich states of Odisha and Madhya Pradesh. This non-ferrous metal casting using the "lost -wax casting" technique is practised in the tribal belt across Jharkhand, West Bengal, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Telangana and some other parts of the country.
 
The art of Dhokra Jewellery making has been passed down from one generation to another. A creative and contemporary expression of an ancient technique – that would earlier use motifs of gods and goddesses, floral shapes and rustic designs. Today’s artisans have given the Art of Dhokra Jewellery a stylish and international ‘avataar’ that goes brilliantly with both ethnic and international styles.
 
When one adorns the Dhokra Tribal Jewellery, the colourful beads, soft thread and metallic pendants with eccentric motifs enhance the beauty of the attire. The large pendant with simple threads is a hallmark of Dhokra jewellery.
 
Differentiated by its rustic simplicity, enchanting folk motifs and clean, distinctive, lines this art form has won hearts both in the domestic as well as international markets. Our range of Dhokra jewellery with its golden-yellow finish, traditional and contemporary designs and attractive pricing is something that you all will love.
