 ✨ A Legacy Forged in Metal
Discover the timeless charm of our handcrafted Copper Star Bell, a product of centuries-old craftsmanship from Bhuj. Each bell is a masterpiece, forged by skilled artisans who breathe life into discarded metal, transforming it into a work of art that resonates with tradition and innovation.

🔨 Crafted with Purpose
The process begins with collecting waste metal from local communities and nearby industries. The metal is shaped by hand—cut, hammered, and molded into a hollow cylinder with a dome top, creating the iconic bell shape. Each step, from shaping to assembly, showcases the artisan’s unmatched precision and skill.

🔥 The Secret Behind the Shine
Once shaped, the bell undergoes a unique transformation. It’s coated with a mixture of brass, copper, zinc, and iron powders, then wrapped in a clay and cotton dough sourced from Zura village. Baked in a kiln, this process fixes the copper coating and enhances the bell’s luster, resulting in a rich, shimmering finish.

🎶 A Sound Like No Other
The sound of the bell is its soul, meticulously tuned to perfection. The pitch and resonance depend on the artisan’s expertise and three key elements:

  1. The shape and size of the bell’s body.
  2. The wooden clapper, crafted from dense Khirad wood.
  3. The curve of the bottom rim, ensuring the bell’s harmonious tone.

About the Artisan

For the artisans who make these jewellery, this work is more than just a job—it’s a chance to rewrite their stories. One artisan shares, I only started working after my husband lost his job. Initially, it was quite challenging to manage family and work. I always wanted to help out my family in every possible way. Helping them financially with my earnings was a part of it. Working here, I have enrolled my son in an English medium school so that he gets a good education. My colleagues at work are no less than a family for me, they have supported me through thick and thin. My work life has made me confident and I feel extremely happy about it.”

This collection is brought to life through partnerships with a social enterprise in India called WHE, which provides women with meaningful opportunities to thrive
