Please note: the image is for size reference only, and the exact bone piece shown may differ slightly in shape and size. Our hand-carved bone is sourced from domesticated bovine (beef or water buffalo), ensuring ethical material sourcing. We do not support or condone the use of materials from wild or endangered species. Each pendant is individually crafted, and its aged appearance ensures that every piece is unique, with subtle variations in coloration and texture.
This necklace comes with a one-size-fits-all, adjustable lanyard that allows you to customize the length to suit your style, whether worn short or long. Sliding slip knots offer easy adjustability. If you prefer a fixed length, please feel free to request a toggle and loop closure during checkout, and we'll make it to your specifications.
