This 27-inch necklace is a captivating journey into the unexpected, blending the wild spirit of the American South with the refined elegance of European craftsmanship. A true testament to Wearable Conservation, this piece elevates ethically sourced animal elements into a work of art that is both unique and sophisticated.
The centerpiece of the design is a stunning menagerie of Raccoon and Armadillo epiphysis—the beautifully textured ends of long bones. Each bone segment is meticulously cleaned and prepared before being strung on gold-plated head pins, creating an array of organic, sculptural focal points.
These unique elements are framed by an exquisite variety of beads that evoke a sense of bohemian luxury. The necklace features pressed matte-blue Czech glass beads, which provide a striking, deep-blue foundation. These are elegantly interspersed with gleaming gold dust beads and a collection of antique firework beads, turquoise beads, and fine seed beads that add layers of texture and sparkle.
The necklace is finished with a sleek 13mm spring circle closure, ensuring comfortable and secure wear. By choosing this piece, you are not only acquiring a one-of-a-kind accessory but also supporting a mindful approach to art and the environment.
