Go to the shopTwo slender birds in flight, one to each ear, cut by hand from a single sheet of brass in Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh. Nothing is cast or moulded. The small differences from pair to pair are the record of the maker who marked, cut, filed and burnished each one until the line reads clean against the skin. Light to wear, the pair carries easily from a workday to an evening, and the brass deepens in tone the longer you wear it.
Solid brass, handmade and built to last. Keep away from water and perfume to slow tarnishing. Wipe with a soft dry cloth; a light patina is natural and can be polished back if you prefer the brighter finish.

Each piece is handcrafted, so slight variations in colour, texture and dimension are natural and celebrate its handmade origin.
These earrings are built around a single clean line, so they style best when that line is left to do the talking.
Each pair begins as a flat sheet of brass in a Sambhal workshop, not as molten metal poured into a mould.
The maker marks the two birds onto the sheet, one facing each way so the pair mirrors across the body. The shapes are then cut free by hand, following the curve of the back, the point of the beak, and the split of the trailing tail. Because the cutting is done by eye and hand, no two birds come out exactly alike.
What turns a rough cut-out into a finished earring is the slow part: the filing. Every edge is worked with a file until it is smooth enough to sit against the skin without catching. The surface is then burnished, rubbed firm and bright, until the brass warms to a soft shine and the bird reads as a single clean line.
The ear fitting is added last, and the brass is left in its natural state rather than sealed under lacquer. That is a deliberate choice. It means the metal deepens in tone as you wear it, settling into the quiet, aged brass colour many people prefer, and a light polish brings it back to bright whenever you want.
