BNK-N24

A cream-and-black bib that fans across the collarbone in graduated rows, alternating bullseye circles with fine vertical stripes for a graphic, high-contrast rhythm.

  • Material: Hand-carved bone on cord, alloy clasp and closure
  • Color: Black and white
  • Length: 17 in + 3 in extender
  • Closure: Alloy clasp
  • Origin: India

Structured enough to hold its fan flat across the chest, light enough to wear all evening. The pattern reads clearly from across a room but rewards a closer look — every carved circle sits a fraction differently from its neighbor.

Details
  • Layered fan silhouette
  • Hand-carved concentric-circle and line motifs
  • Adjustable 3 in extender
  • Lightweight bone construction
  • Natural finish with piece-to-piece variation

Each bead is cut and carved from natural bone, so color, veining, and pattern spacing shift slightly from one piece to the next.

The Story

Building a bib from graduated strands is a structural choice as much as a visual one — the layered rows let the piece hold its fan shape flat across the chest rather than bunching at the neck.

The repeated circle-within-circle motif is a common vocabulary in carved bead work: quick to reproduce consistently across dozens of beads, while still leaving room for small variations to show through. Bone takes the fine carved detail well and holds ink cleanly, so the black pattern reads sharp against the pale surface.

Each bead is shaped, hand-carved with the concentric and linear motifs, then rubbed with black pigment so the pattern stands out. The beads are sanded smooth and knotted by hand, row by row, to build the graduated fan.

Craft & Care
  • Technique: Hand-carved bone beadwork

Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth. Keep away from water, perfume, and lotion — porous bone absorbs moisture and oils.

Questions

Is it heavy given the size?

Lighter than it looks. The bib is built from hollow-carved bone beads rather than dense stone or solid metal, so the weight stays comfortable across full coverage.

Is the length adjustable?

Yes — approximately 17 in with a 3 in extender, so you can shift where it sits along the collarbone.

How do I clean and store it?

Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Store flat or hanging, away from water, perfume, and lotion.

Will mine look exactly like the photo?

Very close, but expect small differences in bead tone and pattern spacing — each bead is individually hand-carved from bone.

What works with it?

Keep the rest simple — a plain crew neck, a button-front top, a solid-color dress — so the black-and-white beadwork stays the focal point.
