An open hand is a symbol found in cultures all over the world, and this one is carved from white bone in fine detail, with a hole at the top so it is ready to hang.
Hang it from leather cord or a chain for a meaningful everyday necklace, add it to a keychain, or use it as the focal bead in a boho or talisman style piece. Bone is light and warm against the skin, so it is comfortable to wear all day. It makes a thoughtful small gift for someone who wears symbolic jewelry or makes their own.
The bead is about 48 by 22 millimeters and is drilled at the top. Because it is carved from natural bone, the color, grain and carving details vary slightly from bead to bead. Cord not included.
Bone has been carved into beads and ornaments since prehistoric times, and it remains a widely used natural material because it is light, durable and holds fine detail. Each piece shows its own natural grain.
