Details
The 'Iwi' necklace is a highly unique piece of jewelry, meticulously crafted from elongated bone batik beads. These beads showcase an exotic Giraffe design that originates from Kenya, Africa, bringing a slice of the wilderness into every day. Each bead used in the creation of this special piece measures approximately 2-2.5cm in length, striking the perfect balance between subtlety and statement. Adding to its charm, the necklace is hand-knotted with vibrant red silk. This not only adds a luxurious touch but also ensures durability and comfort for the wearer.
This product is available with or without the HoS Lock. Simply choose the desired option from the drop-down menu. If you already have a HoS Lock from previous purchases, you can opt for the version without it and still receive the necklace rows.
