UI-N47

A full collar of small red discs — dozens of strands twisted together into one dense, sculpted curve. The color is matte and saturated, closer to lacquer than to berry.

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

The strands stack across the base of the neck rather than falling onto the chest, so the piece reads as one shape from any angle. A dark, polished horn hook anchors the top and gives the composition a hard, glossy counterpoint to all that matte red.
Details
  • Multi-strand construction
  • Twisted, layered strands
  • Polished horn eye-and-hook closure
  • Hand-dyed wood discs

The discs are cut and dyed from natural wood by hand, so small variations in color, grain and finish from piece to piece are normal.

The Story

The multi-strand, twisted silhouette is a signature of Filipino wood-bead jewelry — rather than a single line of beads, dozens of strands are combined and layered to build volume, so the piece reads as sculpture more than accessory.

The deep red comes from hand-dyeing the wood, one small disc at a time. Getting an even, saturated color across hundreds of discs is the slow part; the string-up is quicker.

Pairing dyed wood with a polished horn closure is characteristic of the region's accessory-making, where horn is valued for its durability and natural shine. The two materials sit against each other with real contrast: matte and gloss, red and near-black.

Craft & Care
  • Technique: Hand-strung wood beadwork

Wipe with a soft, dry cloth and store flat or loosely coiled to keep the strands from tangling. Keep away from water and prolonged direct sunlight, which can fade the dye.

Questions

How long is the necklace?

Approximately 21 in.

What is it made of?

Hand-dyed wood discs strung on multiple strands, finished with a horn eye-and-hook closure.

Is it heavy?

It has real presence from the multi-strand volume, but wood is naturally lightweight compared with metal or stone beads of a similar size.

How should I clean and store it?

Wipe with a soft, dry cloth and store flat or loosely coiled, away from water and direct sunlight.
