This stunning necklace is a true testament to the harmony between nature and craftsmanship. The centerpiece of the design is an extraordinary vintage horn pendant, intricately carved and adorned with fine silver metal detailing. The pendant’s unique teardrop shape, accentuated by delicate silver embellishments, hints at its former life as a perfume bottle, adding an air of mystery and historical allure to the piece.
The necklace itself is a celebration of natural beauty, composed primarily of sustainable and eco-friendly materials that honor the earth from which they came. The beads are an eclectic mix of textures and colors, with the warm, organic tones of the recycled bone beads drawing the eye. These bone beads, sourced from across Africa—Ghana, Mali, and Kenya—each tell their own story, reflecting the rich cultural heritage and artisanal skills of the regions they originate from.
The East African bone beads, handcrafted by local artisans, are particularly striking. Made from recycled cow bone, each bead is individually carved and polished, ensuring that no two are exactly alike. The beads’ natural variations, including subtle differences in color and pattern, add depth and character to the necklace. The inlaid silver metal detailing on the prayer beads further enhances the design, providing a contrast that highlights the intricate work and the harmony of different materials coming together.
In every aspect of its design, this necklace is a manifestation of sustainability and respect for the planet. By choosing materials that are recycled, vintage, and naturally sourced, the piece reflects a commitment to minimizing environmental impact and supporting communities in the developing world. Each bead, each component, is a reminder of the beauty that comes from nature and the importance of preserving it.
The Story of the Beauty and Diversity Collection:
Diversity in all its forms — of thought, gender, faith, culture, sexuality, and physical characteristics — is increasingly under attack, in a world where polarization grows and the very principles of equity and inclusion are being erased.
This collection insists on a simple truth: where we are born, and the bodies and identities we are given, is mere chance.
The beauty of diversity is revealed through skin tones, shapes, and colors — coming together like a symbolic rainbow, a living tapestry of difference woven into harmony.
Each piece is a declaration that beauty flourishes in diversity, carrying the unique stories of humanity across cultures and generations.
The Inclusion Collection underscores that diversity is not simply to be acknowledged or tolerated; it must be cherished, fiercely protected, and celebrated as the foundation of our shared humanity.
