UI-N02

Dozens of small flat white discs stack across many strands, twisted together into a dense, chalky collar that sits high on the neckline. A single curved bar of dark horn caps the back, the one sharp break in an otherwise pale, chalk-matte surface.

  • Material: Wood discs, horn closure
  • Color: Chalk white with dark horn
  • Length: 20 in
  • Closure: Horn eye-and-hook
  • Origin: Philippines

It wears as a collar — filling the space between neckline and collarbone with texture rather than a single hard line. The multi-strand twist adds real volume, but the wood keeps it light on the skin. Best over a plain crew or V-neck in a solid color, where the disc surface reads clearly.

Details
  • Multi-strand construction
  • Hand-twisted layering
  • Horn eye-and-hook closure
  • Lightweight flat disc beads
  • Substantial collar silhouette

The discs are cut from natural wood and the closure from natural horn, so slight variations in grain, tone and shape are normal from piece to piece.

The Story

The Philippines has a long-running fashion-jewelry industry built on natural, plentiful materials — wood, shell, horn, seed — cut and shaped into beads and discs, then strung, twisted or woven into finished pieces. Flat wood discs like these are a workhorse of that tradition: cut from stock, sanded smooth, finished to a pale matte tone rather than left in the raw grain.

The multi-strand twisted construction takes a familiar silhouette in that vocabulary. Rather than a single strand, many thin strands are combined and twisted so the discs stack and overlap, building volume and a woven, textured surface out of one small repeated unit.

Pairing wood beadwork with a horn closure is typical of the region's natural-materials jewelry. Horn is durable, easy to shape, and a close tonal counterpoint to pale wood — practical as much as visual. Each disc is pierced and strung by hand, the strands twisted in sequence to keep the interlock even, and the eye-and-hook is separately carved from horn and attached at the back.

Craft & Care
  • Technique: Philippine wood beadwork

Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth and store flat or hanging away from moisture, direct sun, and perfume or lotion contact. Both wood and horn are porous.

Questions

Is this necklace heavy to wear?

Wood is naturally lightweight, but the multi-strand twisted construction adds bulk and presence, so it sits with noticeable volume even though the individual discs are light.

How long is it and where does it sit?

It measures 20 in, which puts it at collar-to-upper-chest length depending on your neck size.

How does the closure work?

A horn eye-and-hook fastens at the back and gathers all the twisted strands together.

Can I get it wet or wear it with perfume and lotion?

Avoid water, perfume and lotion contact. Both the wood discs and the horn closure are porous natural materials that can be affected by moisture and chemicals over time.

Will every necklace look exactly like the photo?

Expect small natural variations in wood grain and tone and in the shape of the horn closure, since each piece is handmade from natural materials rather than machine-molded.
