UI-N30

Nine strands of small flat discs twist together across the collarbone, black weaving through white in a graphic, unpredictable rhythm. The discs sit face-out, catching light like a run of tiny pale coins against the darker beads behind them.

  • Material: Wood discs, horn closure
  • Color: Black and white
  • Length: About 21 in
  • Closure: Horn eye and hook
  • Origin: Philippines
  • Strands: 9, twisted

It reads as one dense, sculptural band at the neckline, but the wood keeps it light on the body. Worn over a plain black or white top with a simple neckline, the twisted strands become the entire visual event of the outfit.
Details
  • Nine twisted strands
  • Flat disc-cut wood beads
  • Contrasting black-and-white palette
  • Horn eye-and-hook closure
  • Lightweight for its scale

The beads are cut and finished from natural wood, so slight variation in grain, tone and disc shape is normal from piece to piece.

The Story

Wood beadwork is a longstanding craft in the Philippines, where workshops turn local hardwoods into buttons, discs and beads for everyday wear and export. This piece draws on that vocabulary — small, uniform forms cut into flat discs and finished in solid black or left pale for the white beads.

The construction is what gives it depth: nine thin strands built up and twisted together by hand rather than laid flat as one thick strand. The beads fall unevenly on purpose, so the black and white shift and interlock as the wearer moves instead of resolving into a fixed pattern.

The eye-and-hook closure is shaped from horn rather than metal findings, keeping the material logic consistent from clasp to strand.

Craft & Care
  • Technique: Handcrafted wood beadwork

Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth and keep away from water, perfume and lotion. Wood and horn can dull or warp with moisture.

Questions

What is the necklace made of?

Flat wood discs strung on nine strands in black and white, with a horn eye-and-hook closure.

How long is it?

About 21 in, sitting as a layered piece at the collarbone.

Is it heavy to wear?

Wood is naturally lightweight, so despite the layered scale it wears comfortably.

Why do the beads vary slightly in shape or shade?

Each disc is cut and finished from natural wood by hand, so small differences in grain and tone are expected.

How should I care for it?

Keep it away from water, perfume and lotion, and wipe it with a soft dry cloth after wear.
