This is a true wearable art piece, centered around a 5-inch half-mandible from a young goat. These bones are graciously donated by a small local farm in Venice, Florida, allowing us to give "new life" to these bones through art.
The Composition: This 24-inch necklace is a study in texture, bold contrast, and rare anatomical details. I’ve balanced the natural, matte finish of the bone with a vibrant, high-energy palette:
The Focal Stones: Two substantial 19mm x 14mm Red Carnelian ovals provide a grounded, earthy warmth.
The Rare Osteology Accents: This piece features genuine Raccoon metatarsals and the distal epiphyses (unfused growth plates) from the metatarsal of a young hoofed animal. These "bone caps" are rare finds that highlight the youthful stage of the animal.
The Blues: A "jazzy" mix of 6mm and 4mm round glass beads paired with sleek 9mm x 3mm blue tube beads.
The Pop: Yellow faceted rondelles offer sharp, intentional details.
The Neck: For a high-end finish, the back features 12mm x 8mm white porcelain Heishi-style beads with elegant gold flecks.
The Details: Finished with 4mm gold-trimmed faceted beads and 2.4mm gold metal spacers. The mandible is integrated via gold-tone rings and custom hand-beaded loops.
Fit & Style: At 24 inches, this piece sits lower on the chest as a powerful, grounded focal point. The substantial size of the mandible and the earthy weight of the Carnelian make this a truly unisex design, suitable for both men and women who appreciate the intersection of fine art and natural history.
Investment: $160
