In their celestial dance, they symbolize the transcendence of opposites, emphasizing that enlightenment exists in both sacred and seemingly impure aspects of life. As transformative guides, the Dakinis encourage practitioners to embrace their entire existence by freeing themselves from dualistic thinking.

We value brass for its raw aesthetic, its therapeutic virtues, its history, and the legends that accompany its ancient origins. Brass, an alloy of copper and zinc, boasts a warm golden color. With a shiny appearance after polishing, it ages very well when taken care of.

The copper content may react with skin acidity, potentially leaving a greenish mark, especially with rings. While harmless, if this concerns you, consider alternatives like 925 sterling silver or gold plated. Brass jewelry may oxidize naturally. A surface phenomenon, oxidation can be reversed by cleaning with a suitable cloth. For a vintage look, no extra care is required. To prevent skin marks, remove jewelry before sleeping or activities causing sweating. For oxidation prevention, store items in a sealed container, avoid exposure to saline or chlorinated waters, keep away from high humidity areas, and steer clear of lotions and perfumes.

The term "Dakini" translates to "sky dancer" reflecting their ethereal and dynamic nature. Dakinis are sometimes portrayed as dancing in the sky, symbolizing the freedom and boundless energy of enlightened awareness.

The Dakinis challenge conventional dualistic perceptions by embodying the transcendence of opposites such as purity and impurity. In many spiritual traditions, there's a tendency to categorize experiences, emotions, and states of being into dichotomies—pure versus impure, sacred versus mundane.

The Dakinis disrupt this dualistic mindset. They are often portrayed in unconventional and challenging forms, breaking societal norms and expectations. This is a symbolic reminder that enlightenment and wisdom can be found in every aspect of life, even in what may be considered impure or unconventional.

Their dance in the sky, often depicted as a wild and liberating dance, signifies the fluidity of experience. The Dakinis teach that the boundaries we construct between opposites are, in essence, illusory. They encourage practitioners to embrace the entirety of their human experience, acknowledging that true spiritual realization transcends the limitations of dualistic thinking.

In this way, Dakinis serve as transformative figures, guiding individuals beyond the confines of rigid concepts and into a more holistic understanding of reality—one that accepts and integrates all aspects of existence. Their symbolic role in challenging dualism aligns with the broader spiritual goal of realizing the interconnected and non-dual nature of consciousness.

The Dakini anklet in brass carries an oxidised finish over brass, an alloy of copper and zinc known for its warm golden colour. Listed under the design credit Rajasthan Heritage, it treats the finish as part of the form rather than as an afterthought, so surface and structure read together. As an oxidised brass anklet, it pairs a worked, deliberate surface with the hollow beaded line of the Dakini design, keeping the character of the metal itself firmly in view.

Testimonials

The Dakini anklet in brass weighs 30 g and measures 27 cm in length. The beaded ornaments are hollow on the inside, as the page notes. It is offered as One or as a Pair, and the weight is given per anklet, so the Pair comes to twice the listed figure. The oxidised brass anklet keeps the same design and the same oxidised finish in either option, with only the number of anklets changing from one option to the other.

It may. Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, and its copper content may react with the acidity of the skin, potentially leaving a greenish mark. Noir KĀLA describes the mark as harmless, and it is not necessarily an allergic response. For the Dakini anklet in brass, the guidance on the page is simply to remove it before sleeping and before activities that cause sweating. Those two steps form the full advice given here for this oxidised brass anklet.
