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.
