Batik Bone Bead Necklace - Brass Buffalo Bone Pendant, Gold Fill

Two crafts from two continents come together here. Batik bone beads from Kenya are paired with a brass pendant set with water buffalo bone from Nepal, and the findings are 14k gold fill.

We assemble each necklace by hand in house, so it has a one of a kind, artisan feel that stands out with a plain tee or a simple dress. It is a meaningful gift for someone who loves tribal style jewelry, world travel or pieces with a story behind them. Traditionally, bone beads are worn with respect for the animal, and many wearers see them as a nod to its strength.

The beads are made from cow bone, a by-product of agriculture, and patterned with a wax resist batik dye. The necklace is about 18 inches long, adjustable by 1 inch, and weighs about 61 grams. The supplier describes the beads and pendant as fair trade. This is a stock photo, so patterns vary.

About Batik Bone Beads

Kenyan batik bone beads are made from cow bone, a by-product of the meat trade. Artisans clean, cut, shape and polish the bone, then apply hot wax as a resist before dyeing, which leaves crisp black and cream patterns.
