Handcrafted Necklace — Painted Bone and Ironwood Beads, Earthy Tribal Artisan

A captivating mix of earth and fire — this artisan necklace features painted bone beads in warm terracotta-orange hues paired with dense, fine-grained ironwood beads that bring weight, grounding, and quiet strength.

Ironwood (also known regionally as ipil, kamagong, or rosewood depending on origin)., revered across tropical regions for its durability and spiritual symbolism, contrasts beautifully with the luminous, lacquered surface of the bone. The interplay of polished bone and smooth-grained wood creates a rhythm that feels both primal and sophisticated — the essence of slow-made jewelry.

Hand-strung with a fiber loop and disc clasp, this necklace embodies craftsmanship rooted in tradition, likely inspired by Southeast Asian tribal or African folk design aesthetics.

Wear it as a centerpiece against soft neutral fabrics, linen tunics, or layered with other natural jewelry for a grounded, worldly feel. Perfect for collectors of ethnic or organic statement pieces.
