Mustard Birdie — Handcrafted Brass Rakhi

Three small brass birds strung along a mustard-yellow cotton thread, each one catching light a little differently against the wrist. Handcrafted with brass beads and cotton thread — nothing plated, nothing pretending to be more than it is.

Three brass birds sit in a row along a mustard-yellow cotton thread, handcrafted with brass beads strung by hand rather than moulded as a single piece. The colour reads warm against most skin tones, not stark the way gold-plated rakhis can. There is no clasp — the cotton thread ties on and stays tied through the day and the photographs after. Brass left unplated will darken a little with time and touch; that is brass being brass, not a flaw to worry over. A small, unfussy rakhi for a brother who does not want a lot of glitter.
