This 20-inch necklace is a powerful statement of Wearable Conservation, crafted from the formidable thoracic vertebrae of a wild boar. The bone is meticulously wire-wrapped in copper, highlighting its raw, rugged beauty. Accented with vibrant olive jade beads, the piece is a striking blend of earthy strength and refined style. The necklace itself is composed of hand-dyed green wood beads in unique egg, round, and coin shapes, all interspersed with more olive jade. With its rustic copper elements and one-of-a-kind design, this necklace embodies the wild spirit of Florida.
 
The Story Behind the Piece
 
Here in Florida, wild boars are an invasive species, and "word has it around these parts" they were brought over by the Spaniards, maybe even Hernando Cortés himself. They cause a lot of damage to property and vehicles, so we believe in honoring these powerful animals by giving their bones a second life. This piece celebrates that legacy, transforming a wild, destructive force into a symbol of sustainable luxury. The copper and olive jade were chosen to complement the bone's raw, rustic energy, creating a truly unique piece that tells a story spanning centuries.
