Cow Bone Necklace :
Black & White

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

Styling Suggestions – Interior Decor

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 ​ 
Wipe your bone or mother of pearl inlay with a slightly damp cloth. If the finish becomes dull over time, apply a small amount of coconut oil and white wax, then buff with a dry cloth. 

Avoid regular household cleaners, as they can damage inlay surfaces. 

Because bone and MOP are naturally porous, high-use items (like coffee tables) should be sealed before use. A clear varnish or polyurethane from any hardware store works well. Made-to-order pieces can be pre-sealed on request for a small additional cost. 

With frequent use (e.g., trays or drawers), the natural expansion and contraction of wood and bone can occasionally loosen small pieces. If this occurs, simply reattach with all-fix or super glue.
