Batik Bone and Brass Statement Necklace

Bold, graphic, and unmistakably handcrafted. The necklace pairs hand carved batik bone beads in a striking black and ivory pattern with sleek matte black wood, frosted glass accents, and a substantial brass toggle closure. The oversized brass disc sits as the centerpiece, adding weight and presence to a design built for everyday statement wear.

Material: Bone, wood, glass, and brass, hand finished

Size: Necklace measures approximately 18” to 20” with toggle closure, unisex fit

Origin and Craft: Kenya. Batik bone carving is a technique passed down through generations of artisans, where bone is hand etched and treated with natural dyes to create the signature marbled pattern seen in this necklace. That same patience and skill now shapes a piece meant for daily life, carrying tradition into the present with every wear.

Each batik bead is carved and dyed by hand, so the pattern shifts slightly bead to bead, giving the necklace a quality mass produced jewelry cannot replicate.

Care: Wipe bone, wood, and brass pieces with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid water, perfume, and harsh chemicals, which can dull the natural finish over time.

Disclaimer: Because bone and wood are natural materials shaped by hand, variations in color, grain, and pattern are part of each piece and not a defect.
