Bone necklace
These strikingly bold ox-bone beads from Kenya are hand-carved and strung on raffia. An inlaid wooden core makes them lighter than they appear, lovely for wearing or for display.
- Dimensions: 30" in length
- Weight: Round- 9.5 oz, Square - 17 oz
Please note: because these beads are hand carved, they may vary with matte to shiny finish, and each will be a little different. We prefer to think of these as perfect imperfections.

The bone necklace is neutral enough to match most Zuris. I'm wearing one of the bone necklaces with the Twirl Zuri dress.
- EWElaine W.Verified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 stars11 months agoSurprisingly weighty!
Like the recycled glass beads, I would say one strand is at least 1.5 to 2 lbs. - they’re just large enough to fit over my head and wear like a lei. Each bead is made of animal bone wrapped over an inner wood core. I had some fun at the Fillmore store where I wore two of the glass beads and one of bone necklaces - also very weighty. The combined weight of the three was excessive but also comforting!
I like wearing this as is, but if and when the string breaks or frays over time I’ll definitely either re-string or repurpose the beads for other projects. The Fillmore store had the beads in two styles - one more rounded and then the one I chose which were more squared off - I love that they reminded me of marshmallows!
