Two carved horn terminals meet at a single hook, then release five strands of round beads across the collarbone. The tones shift bead to bead — honey, toffee, deep walnut, the occasional near-black.

  • Material: Bone and horn
  • Length: 21 in
  • Closure: Hand-carved horn hook
  • Origin: India
  • Bead size: 4, 6, 8 mm
  • Strands: Five

The strands sit close to the neck, more collar than drape, with the horn hook worn to one side as the visible closure. Bead sizes shift from 4 to 8 mm, giving the surface a tactile rhythm rather than a uniform bead line.
Details
  • Five-strand design
  • Mixed bead sizes
  • Hand-carved horn hook closure
  • Graduated honey-to-walnut tones

Each bead is shaped and polished by hand, so slight variations in size, grain and color between beads are natural and expected.

The Story

Bone and buffalo horn come out of the livestock and leather trades — offcuts that hand tools turn into beads with real density. Cut, shaped and polished by hand, each one keeps its own grain and surface.

The five-strand build gives the piece volume without uniformity. Strands are strung individually, then gathered at a single closure, so the surface reads as bold and architectural rather than fine.

The horn hook is where the hand of the maker shows most clearly. Rather than tucking the clasp away, the design lets it carry as much weight as the beads — a functional element pulled to the front.

Craft & Care
  • Technique: Hand-carved bone and horn beadwork

Wipe the beads gently with a dry cloth. Keep the piece away from prolonged moisture; avoid soaking or submerging it.

Questions

How long is it?

21 in, worn close to the neck. Bead sizes range from 4 to 8 mm across the five strands.

What is it made of?

Cut and polished bone beads with a hand-carved horn hook closure.

Will it look exactly like the photo?

Close, not identical. Each bead is shaped by hand, so small differences in size, grain, and color are part of the material.

How do I clean and store it?

Wipe the beads gently with a dry cloth and keep the piece away from prolonged moisture. Do not soak or submerge it.

How does the closure work?

A carved horn hook joins the two ends of the gathered strands, working as both clasp and focal point.
