Hundreds of small teal discs gather into a dense, twisted collar, the cool matte color broken only by a curved amber horn hook at the back.

  • Material: Wood discs, horn closure
  • Color: Teal
  • Length: 21 in
  • Closure: Horn eye-and-hook
  • Origin: Philippines

Wood keeps the volume light on the neck, so the piece sits like a solid band of color without the weight it looks like it should have. From a distance the strands read as one saturated mass. Up close, the discs resolve one by one.
Details
  • Multiple twisted strands
  • Disc-cut wood beads
  • Saturated teal color
  • Natural horn hook closure
  • No metal components

The discs are cut from natural wood and dyed by hand, and the closure is carved from horn, so slight variations in shade, grain and finish are normal from piece to piece.

The Story

Disc-cut wood beading is a signature of Filipino costume jewelry — flat, uniform rounds turned from wood and strung by the hundreds into multi-strand pieces. The approach turns a common material into something with real visual weight.

The twist is part of that tradition. Several strands are combined and allowed to cross over each other, so the color reads as a solid mass at a distance and resolves into individual discs up close.

The horn closure belongs to the same craft. Horn shapes and polishes into curved, functional forms, so the necklace fastens with a natural material rather than metal hardware.

Craft & Care
  • Technique: Filipino wood disc beading with carved horn closure

Wipe the discs with a soft, dry cloth after wearing. Keep the necklace away from water, perfume and lotion so the dye and the horn stay in good condition.

Questions

Is this necklace heavy to wear?

It has presence from the many strands, but wood is lighter than stone or metal beads of the same size, so it wears comfortably for a piece this substantial.

Will the teal color fade over time?

The discs are dyed, and like any dyed natural material the color lasts longest when the necklace is kept dry and out of prolonged direct sun.

How does the horn closure work?

It is a simple eye-and-hook carved from horn — two curved pieces that hook together at the back of the neck. No metal clasp is involved.

Is this a good choice for sensitive skin or metal allergies?

Yes. The necklace is made entirely of wood and horn, with no metal components against the skin.

How should I store it between wears?

Lay it flat or hang it on a wide hook so the strands don't tangle, and keep it away from damp areas.

It's a beautiful necklace but the clasp is an issue

It's a beautiful necklace but the clasp is an issue. It keeps coming off I have to roll it another direction to keep it from coming unhooked. They need to work on this.
