Dakini — Meaning & Inspiration

In Sanskrit, Dakini translates to “sky dancer,” an archetype associated with movement, transformation, and freedom. Within Buddhist traditions, Dakini represents wisdom beyond boundaries — an embrace of fluidity and evolution. Through Noir KĀLA’s modern lens, the Dakini Collection reinterprets these inspirations into contemporary jewelry. A Dakini necklace or pendant serves as a symbolic reminder of resilience, expression, and personal strength — reverent of its origins while embodying an enduring and modern identity.

Materials & Finishes
• 925 sterling silver — durability and heritage

Crafted from a noble, luminous metal, 925 sterling silver offers lasting strength and character. Over time, it may develop a natural patina, which can be polished away or celebrated for depth and texture. A simple soft cloth restores its brilliance, keeping each piece designed for longevity and everyday wear.

• Gold vermeil — refined radiance

Gold vermeil layers a thick coat of 22k gold over a 925 sterling silver base, offering both warmth and durability. With age, its glow softens, evolving into a finish that reflects the wearer’s journey. To preserve its beauty, avoid contact with water, perfumes, and abrasion — a soft cloth ensures its lasting radiance.

• Brass — texture, patina, and care

Brass carries a grounding tone and distinctive weight, developing a unique patina over time. Whether polished to a golden sheen or allowed to deepen naturally, its evolution reflects an authentic approach to adornment. Proper brass care preserves both durability and character.

Craftsmanship & Origin — Small-Batch Artistry

Each Dakini piece is designed in Canada and handcrafted in Rajasthan by skilled artisans. Working within small, intergenerational workshops, techniques such as casting and ornament shaping are preserved and blended with modern design tools. The result is small-batch jewelry that celebrates cultural heritage while expressing Noir KĀLA’s evolving, mythic-modern aesthetic.
