Hand-Strung Cast Brass — Rectangle Bead Rakhi

Rectangular brass beads, edges softened by casting, lined up along plain cotton cord — a rakhi with none of the usual curves, all of the usual warmth.

Most brass rakhis default to round beads; this one is cast rectangular instead, giving the wrist a run of small, flat-edged blocks rather than a string of spheres. The shift in shape is subtle but it changes how the rakhi sits and catches light — less roll, more glint. Strung onto plain cotton cord and finished with a simple knot, it's built for the sibling who wants their rakhi to look considered rather than ornate. Tie it on, forget it's there, notice it again when the light hits it at the end of the day.
