The Story & Ethical Sourcing
This one-of-a-kind statement necklace honors the life and wild spirit of the coyote. The focal point is an authentic coyote atlas vertebra (C1), ethically salvaged following a road tragedy. Rather than ignoring the reality of how the animal died, this piece calls a spade a spade: the bone clearly displays damage from the impact, serving as a raw, honest reminder of our surrounding environments, the hazards wildlife face, and the ultimate cycle of life. By giving this salvaged element a new purpose, its story continues as a meaningful work of wearable art.
Composition & Craftsmanship
Central Focal: Ethically salvaged coyote atlas vertebra (C1) displaying visible impact damage.
Gemstones: A continuous 36-inch strand of soft pink tumbled rose quartz chip beads paired with deep violet tumbled amethyst stones nestled within the bone cavity.
Metalwork: Hand-wrapped with warm gold-tone wire accents.
Origin: Designed and handcrafted by Michele Moore in North Port, Florida.
Style & Wearability Designed as a continuous 36-inch strand, this opera-length necklace slips easily over the head with no clasp needed. The soft pink hue of the rose quartz grounds the organic white tone of the vertebra and the rich purple amethyst. It wears as a dramatic, standalone focal piece or a striking addition to a layered look.
