CEUJ-N11

Flat white disks overlap in a graduated arc across the front, scaling up toward the center and shifting into small round beads that carry the strand around the neck.

Material: Wood
Color: Soft white
Length: 34 in
Closure: Slip-over-the-head, knotted between beads
Origin: Philippines
Largest disk: 1.5 in
Bead diameter: 8 mm

The disks lie flush against one another in an unbroken line, catching light as a single pale surface across the collarbone. Volume without weight — the wood keeps the piece light enough to wear all day against a plain neckline.

Each disk is cut and finished from natural wood, so slight variations in grain, tone and shape are normal from piece to piece.

The Story

The graduated disk shape here is a common construction in Filipino wood jewelry: uniform rounds cut from local hardwood, then hand-sorted by size to build a silhouette that widens toward the center front. Wood takes a clean cut and a smooth polish, which is what lets the disks sit flush against one another in a single line.

The soft white finish comes from sanding, bleaching or light staining — a treatment used in this tradition to shift the wood's natural tone toward something cleaner and more neutral.

Each disk is sliced from a length of wood, sanded, drilled through the center, and strung in order onto a cord. The beads at the back are knotted individually between disks, which keeps the strand secure and lets it drape rather than sit stiff against the collarbone.
