Handcrafted — Brass Bird Rakhi in Red

Small brass birds, hand-strung on cotton thread — the kind of rakhi that looks pulled from a jewelry box rather than a festival stall. Red thread, brass in flight, nothing else competing for attention.

Two brass birds anchor this rakhi, each bead hand-strung onto cotton thread in a red that holds its colour wash after wash. Brass takes on a soft matte warmth against skin, catching light without ever turning gaudy — closer to a small piece of jewelry than a festival trinket. Simple enough to wear past Raksha Bandhan morning, into the weeks after, when the thread has softened and the brass has taken on the first hints of its own patina. Tie it, wear it, let it age.
