Handmade from polished brass, this minimalist clavicle necklace features a delicate sculptural pendant that sits elegantly at the collarbone.
The PANGA brass pendant necklace brings an architectural touch to everyday jewellery, with an understated hand-cut design inspired by traditional Nepali temples. Its delicate, gently scalloped silhouette follows the curve of the collarbone, with a subtle pointed detail at the centre. The warm polished finish complements both casual and formal looks, with matching DALLU brass dangle earrings available.

HANDMADE IN NEPAL
Our cut brass jewellery and decorations are handmade in Kathmandu, Nepal, by artisans working within a collective certified by the World Fair Trade Organization. AURA QUE has worked with the group since 2019. The collective supports its artisans through initiatives including allowances for family healthcare and children’s education, as well as a savings scheme. Each piece is cut, assembled and polished by hand in the specialist jewellery workshop.
MATERIAL, CRAFT & NATURAL VARIATION
Local brass is hand-cut, filed and polished by metalwork artisans to create our jewellery and fittings. An alloy of copper and zinc, brass is valued for its strength, workability and ability to be repeatedly recycled without losing its properties. Traditionally associated with the 21st wedding anniversary, brass has a long history in decorative metalwork and jewellery making. Subtle variations in the surface and natural changes to the brass over time are part of the character of the material. All our earring hooks and studs are sourced in the UK and are free from nickel, lead and cadmium.
MORE ABOUT THE ARTISAN PROCESS
- Cutting the brass: Brass sheets are carefully cut into the individual shapes needed for each AURA QUE design. The artisans work precisely to create the form and proportions of each component.
- Smoothing & refining: The cut brass components are filed and refined by hand, smoothing the edges. Tiny variations in shape and surface are a natural part of the handmade process and give each piece its own character.
- Adding the details: The loops for our jewellery look integral, but these are actually created from brass wire which is seamlessly integrated on to the pendant. A sturdy wire is twisted into a cone shape to create the stand for our tree topper decoration.
- Assembling & polishing: The individual components are assembled to create the finished piece. The brass is then carefully polished, bringing out its warm golden colour and smooth finish.
