Durga Hasli

This exquisite handcrafted necklace is a powerful blend of cultural heritage and artistic expression. At its center is a pure silver pendant of Goddess Durga, the divine protector seated on her lion—symbolizing strength, courage, and the triumph of good over evil.

Above the pendant hangs a vintage Kenyan 10-cent coin, engraved with the national coat of arms—a symbol of resilience, identity, and legacy. The coin is encircled by a brass ring and topped with a floral brass motif, delicately studded with stones, adding intricate beauty and traditional charm.

Running horizontally through the brass ring is a pure silver bar, capped on either end with silver knobs, providing both structural integrity and visual balance. Flanking the bar are two striking red beads—symbols of vitality and auspicious energy—that draw the eye and ground the design.

The entire composition is suspended from a hand-forged brass bangle, shaped into an open-loop choker. The warm tone and artisanal finish of brass lend the piece a refined yet earthy character, beautifully complementing the silver and red accents.

This one-of-a-kind necklace is more than a statement—it's a wearable narrative, weaving together African heritage and Indian spirituality in a powerful expression of strength, protection, and cultural pride.
