HANDMADE IN NEPAL
Our moulded 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 moulded, 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. Leftover brass from making our cut metalwork designs is melted down and reused to cast new components, minimising waste. 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.
MORE ABOUT THE ARTISAN PROCESS
- Forming the brass: Leftover brass from making our cut metalwork designs is melted at over 1,000°C and poured into clay moulds to form three-dimensional components such as small bells.
- Smoothing & refining: Once cooled, each piece is 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.
- 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.
- Finishing & checking: Each piece is carefully finished and checked before leaving the workshop. Every tiny bell is checked to make sure it rings!
A THOUGHTFUL, HANDMADE GIFT
Combining understated detailing with the warm tones of polished brass, our handmade metalwork pieces make thoughtful gifts for anyone who appreciates artisan craftsmanship and simple, timeless design. This jewellery comes mounted on a presentation card, adding a lovely finishing touch for gifting.
