Elevate your accessory collection (or interior display) with this striking Round Bead Bone Necklace — handcrafted from carved cow bone and decorated with a traditional resist-dye technique that marries heritage and artistry.
Key Details & Features
Material: Carved cow bone
Technique: Batik-style resist dye — wax is applied to pattern areas, then the piece is dipped in black tree-sap dye; once wax is removed, the undyed bone shows through, revealing the contrasting design
Length: Approx. 30 cm (necklace drop)
Unique Character: Each piece is hand-made and individually crafted; small variations, artisan marks, and slight imperfections are normal and add to the authenticity
Why You’ll Love It
This necklace is more than a fashion piece — it’s an object of culture, craft, and character. The organic texture of bone combined with the bold graphic contrast makes this a stunning statement or layering piece. Whether worn or displayed, it brings an earthy, soulful accent to your space or ensemble.
Styling & Use Suggestions
Wear it over crisp linens, neutral tones, or monochromatic outfits to let the pattern pop
Layer under or over chains or other beads for depth and dimension
Use as a decorative accent — hang over a vase, drape across a decorative tray, or include in styled displays
Combine with natural materials (wood, clay, woven textiles) to amplify its tactile appeal
This stunning piece isn’t limited to jewellery — it’s equally beautiful as a decorative object within modern, coastal, or tribal-inspired interiors.
Display ideas:
Layer on a stack of coffee table books to add texture and storytelling to a living room vignette
Drape over a ceramic vase or wooden bowl to bring organic warmth and movement to your console or sideboard
Style in a glass display cloche or on a decor stand as an objet d’art
Pair with raw timber, linen, travertine or rattan pieces for a cohesive natural aesthetic
Use in neutral, monochrome, or earthy palettes to balance hard surfaces with handmade softness
Its sculptural circular form makes it ideal for styling alongside Mahlia Interiors’ bone inlay boxes, trays, and chests — enhancing any curated corner or styled shelf.
Care Instructions
Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth (avoid soaking)
Do not expose to harsh chemicals, perfumes, or strong solvents
Store laid flat or on a soft surface to prevent scratches or bending
Avoid extreme heat or prolonged sunlight exposure (to preserve dye and bone integrity)

Inlay Handmade Pieces
As with all things made by hand, these pieces are all unique and small flaws may be present, which adds to the intrinsic character and beauty of each piece.
Care Instructions
To clean your bone inlay or mother of pearl inlay furniture, please wipe with a slightly damp cloth. After some time of owning your inlay piece, if the shine comes off slightly then please apply a small amount of coconut oil and white wax and clean it with a dry cloth.
Bone and mother of pearl inlay furniture has a porous surface, so items in high-use situations - such as coffee tables - should be sealed prior to use. Grout or polyurethane sealant (available from any hardware store) is suitable for this - example: https://www.bunnings.com.au/cabot-s-500ml-satin-water-based-cabothane-clear-polyurethane-varnish_p1522368
Whilst this sealant is clear, when you are sealing your piece, we recommend using a very soft cloth in a circular motion (rather than a paint brush) in order to avoid any potential brush strokes left on your piece.
Please do not use regular cleaning products (surface cleaners, glass cleaners) to care for bone inlay. They are very harsh to use on inlay pieces.
If your piece is under direct and constant sunlight, the bone pieces may have the potential to turn a slightly yellow tone over time, and little exposure to sunlight can be useful to help them stay light for a longer duration. Please be careful that you don't put your inlay piece under extreme heat or directly under the sun.
If your inlay products may be used often (tray, drawers for example), the bone pieces may fall from edges during the use. The wood and bone both are naturally contracting and expanding materials but not at the same pace, so during season/weather change this could happen. Please use all-fix or super glue available locally to easily fix yourself if this may happen.
For our vase products, we would recommend covering your vase base prior to using, as these vases are not 100% waterproof.
The beautiful tray arrived last week and it’s divine! Fantastic packaging too! Appreciate your help with this order and look forward to ordering more pieces from you in the near future.
My experience dealing with Mahlia Interiors has been a wonderful experience. I dealt with Tara who was amazing. I love my cabinet. Thankyou ⚘️ ⚘️
Thank you so so so much Becky and Lani for my beautiful new pieces of furniture. They are better than I had imagined them to be. I’m over the moon with them. You were wonderful to work with. Highly recommended.
I’m so in love with my mother of pearl chest of drawers! They are absolutely beautiful! Every part of the purchase and delivery process was smooth trouble-free! Thanks girls.
Amazing customer service, it was such a pleasure to deal with Mahlia Interiors. Our coffee table was delivered with professional care taken, and the description online is exactly how our table arrived. I highly recommend Mahlia for your next purchase
We ordered two Bone Inlay Provincial Bedside Tables in Floral - Grey online during lockdown in 2021. Although we had to wait a long time to receive them, we were very impressed by Mahlia's communication and service. We just love these bedsides. They are the perfect fit for an old (and very high) brass bed. Highly recommended.
Thank you Lana for helping me choose the right piece for my bedroom and I absolutely love it! The mother of pearl floral chest is exquisite and the workmanship perfect. There were a few weeks delay due to covid, but Lana kept me informed on tracking along the way. Would most definitely use Mahlia Interiors again and thoroughly recommend the service and quality of the product. I shall be back
It arrived so quickly and was packaged securely. I followed the care advice and coated mine in clear polyurethane to seal it, as I'll be using it to display some of my indoor plants. It looks beautiful when the light is on it.
I ordered the tissue box and matching tray as a "Covid pick me up". I cannot rave enough about the quality and aesthetic appeal of these Bone Inlay homewares. I highly recommend these products and plan another purchase soon.
Thanks for the great service & quick delivery. Coasters were packed really well. Love how they look with my tray. Thanks again, will definately buy again.
Beautiful chest of drawers delivered in just two days at Christmas time! The delivery men were helpful and on time. Updates from Mahlia were timely and friendly, I would be very happy to buy from them again.
I was a bit nervous ordering my mother of pearl chest of drawers ONLINE but with Mahlia it worked out beautifully! There was a bit of a delay in delivery due to COVID but the ladies from Mahlia were very responsive and kept me informed while we waited. The delivery itself was very easy and I now have a dream piece that I have always wanted! Thank you Bec and Lana
The most gorgeous bone inlay trinket box. This was posted to me quickly and was packaged incredibly well. Would recommend for sure.
I ordered the black floral rectangular try and now have another beautiful inlay piece for my home. It arrived really quickly and was packaged very well. Great service and quality. Love it!
I have a very beautiful chest of drawers of grey inlay. Quietly elegant. The company have been extraordinarily good keeping me informed about shipment delays, wharf strike concerns & all they had to deal with Covid. I highly recommend the company & all their products. Brilliant.
