Style tip:

To let the necklace take center stage, create a monochromatic outfit in understated shades like deep black, charcoal gray, or pure white. This minimalist contrast allows the accessory to become the graphic focal point.

Opt for organic materials such as washed linen, airy cotton, or fluid Tencel. These authentic textures echo the handcrafted origins of the jewelry and reinforce its cultural dimension.

For a polished look, opt for an updo or semi-updo (soft, messy bun, low ponytail, half-updo) to show off your neck. This will allow your necklace to be seen in all its sculptural beauty.

Wearing this necklace is to embody a living heritage: it reflects a commitment to Indigenous craftsmanship, sustainability, and cultural expression. It doesn't just embellish an outfit—it tells its story.
