Bring together texture, craftsmanship, and layered elegance with our Multi-Strand Bone & Bead Statement Necklace. This piece is handmade in South Africa combining ethically sourced cow bone beads and carefully selected plastic beads, resulting in a layered, sculptural form that moves gracefully and speaks of cultural resonance.
✨ Product Features & Details
-
Materials: Ethically sourced cow bone beads + durable plastic beads
-
Design: Multi-strand layering (several bead “threads” running together)
-
Length: Approx. 35 cm
-
Unique Character: Because it is handcrafted, you may notice small variations, slight asymmetries, and artisanal marks — these are not flaws but proof of its handmade nature
🏡 Interior Decor & Styling as Art Objects
This necklace transcends fashion — it works beautifully as an interior accent in curated homes:
-
Drape over stacked books or art tomes on a coffee table shelf — the layers introduce sculptural rhythm
-
Loop over decorative objects like vases, urns or matte ceramics — let the strands cascade and soften hard edges
-
Place on a tray or in a shallow bowl as a textural element in a living room vignette
-
Pair with neutral tones — think linen, jute, raw timber, rattan, or woven textiles — to anchor the bead/ bone contrast
-
Mix with other natural objects such as coral, carved wood, or clay pieces for a global, layered look
-
Hang vertically or suspend as a sculptural wall accent (for example, over a small hook or stand)
Why This Piece Belongs in Your Collection
If your design philosophy blends tactile materials, handcrafted expression, and global motifs, this necklace is a natural fit. Whether worn or styled as decor, it adds a layered statement, cultural texture, and a nod to artisanal storytelling — ideals that align beautifully with Mahlia Interiors’ vision of soulful, globally influenced living.

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.
