The Story: Goat and Armadillo Statement Necklace
This handcrafted statement piece is a direct reflection of the Florida landscape, featuring ethically salvaged specimens from North Port and Venice. The heart of the necklace features two substantial goat femurs wired together, creating a bold, architectural centerpiece. This anchor is framed by four armadillo ulnae—two on either side—creating a rhythmic, sculptural silhouette.
These bones have been with us at the Moore Museum for quite some time, moving through the slow, rhythmic "whitening dance" in the Florida sun. Featuring components from our Legacy Collection, this piece represents years of curation and gratitude. We have transformed these natural remnants into a cherished heirloom of "Wearable Conservation," proving that even the most overlooked elements can become treasures.

Style & Wear
The Goat and Armadillo Necklace is designed for the collector who carries a story of transformation.
