UI-N28

Nine strands of small flat discs twist together at the collarbone, moving through four shades of blue — deep navy, cobalt, sky, and pale aqua — that interlace rather than sit in tidy rows.

  • Material: Dyed wood discs, horn
  • Color: Blue
  • Length: About 21 in
  • Closure: Horn eye-and-hook
  • Origin: Philippines
  • Strands: Nine

Worn against a plain white neckline, the twist becomes the whole outfit — no additional pieces required. The scale is substantial but the wood keeps it light, so the volume reads as color and movement rather than weight.
Details
  • Nine twisted strands
  • Four graduated shades of blue
  • Horn eye-and-hook closure
  • Disc-cut wood beads

Each disc is cut from natural wood and hand-dyed, so grain, shape, and shade vary from bead to bead and from piece to piece.

The Story

The Philippines has a working craft economy in wood, horn, and shell — small workshops that cut, sand, dye, drill, and string local materials by hand. This piece draws on that tradition, using discs dyed in a spectrum of blues rather than left in their natural tone.

The twisted multi-strand construction is a hallmark of the style. Several strands of varying shade are combined and gently twisted so the colors layer against one another, giving the appearance of a much more elaborate piece than any single strand alone would.

Discs are drilled and threaded strand by strand, then twisted along the full length — keeping the twist even takes a practiced hand. The horn eye-and-hook closure belongs to the same material vocabulary as the beads: wood and horn together, no metal introduced.

Craft & Care
  • Technique: Philippine wood and horn beadcraft

Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth. Keep away from water, perfume, and direct sunlight to protect the dyed wood and horn.

Questions

How long is the necklace?

About 21 in, sitting high at the collarbone.

How does the closure work?

A horn eye-and-hook clasp — a simple hook-through-loop in the same material family as the beads.

Will the color fade or the wood warp?

Keep it dry and out of direct sun. Moisture and prolonged UV can dull the dye and affect the wood over time; wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth after wear.
