This 18-inch necklace is a bold and understated expression of Wearable Conservation, specifically designed for men. It features genuine, ethically sourced Everglades Python vertebrae in graduating sizes, mirroring a collection of natural white wood beads. The smooth, raw texture of the unsealed wood beautifully complements the intricate, organic form of the bones. This unique and stylish men's necklace makes a powerful statement without overwhelming the wearer.
The Story Behind the Piece
We don't design enough jewelry for men, and my husband Phillip doesn't have the time either. So, we decided to get creative. This design reflects our philosophy of "taking what we got," as we used a variety of python vertebrae we had on hand—from large to small—to create a unified look. The tapered, choker style is a deliberate choice; long necklaces tend to catch on things, so this design is less intrusive and more comfortable for daily wear. Just like the bones, the wood beads are raw and unsealed, so you can clean them with the sandpaper, a nail file, or the sanding stick we provide.
