The composition splits down the middle: a run of warm amber horn nuggets tapering into a heavy striated end cap on the left, a fall of matte black coconut strands piling into volume on the right.

  • Material: Carabao horn, coconut shell, waxed cord
  • Color: Black and amber
  • Length: 28 in
  • Closure: Horn toggle and loop
  • Sold as: Single necklace
  • Origin: Philippines

The dense stack of matte black strands builds weight without hard edges, so the necklace moves with the body rather than sitting stiff. Worn against a plain crew or open collar, it becomes the whole outfit — no other jewelry needed, no competition invited.

Details
  • Asymmetric silhouette
  • Multi-strand coconut bead cascade
  • Graduated horn beads and sculptural end cap
  • Toggle-and-loop horn clasp

Horn and coconut shell are natural materials, so grain, tone and bead size vary slightly from one necklace to the next.

The Story

The horn is carabao — water buffalo — a byproduct of the local hide trade that Philippine makers reclaim, soften by boiling, and shape. The amber-to-brown striation running through the end cap is the material's own coloring, not dye.

The coconut shell beads are cut from the hard outer husk, dried, sanded into small discs and finished to a uniform matte black. Many parallel strands do the work of building volume that metal or stone would otherwise supply.

Each strand is cut, beaded and knotted individually onto waxed cord, then gathered into the horn end caps and closure. Keeping the cascade even across that many strands is the slow part of the build.

Craft & Care
  • Technique: Filipino horn and coconut shell beadwork

Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Store flat or separated from other jewelry so the horn's natural finish does not get scratched.

Questions

How long is the necklace?

Approximately 28 inches.

What is it made of?

Natural carabao horn and coconut shell beads strung on waxed cord. No metal, glass or synthetic materials.

How does the clasp work?

A horn toggle passes through a horn loop at the back, sized to sit securely at the nape.

How do I care for it?

Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wear and store flat or separated from other pieces so the horn's finish stays unmarked.
