Camel Bone Necklace

$1,800.00

This exquisite finely carved camel bone necklace is an ode to royal ivory carved necklaces worn by ministers and royalty in time foregone. The artist revived an ancient style of carving after careful study of past photographs and historical documentation of the jewelry that was once considered high fashion. Created by the artist extraordinaire Raghavendra Rathore in his studio in Kochi, Kerala. Ivory was prized in India for its delicate nature, its white beauty and for its intrinsic value. In this necklace the elephant a symbol of good luck has been carved. Each and every circular bead had to be hand polished and set individually to form the necklace.The simple elegance of this piece allows it to be the perfect adornment for any occasion. The necklace is fine to the touch and light in weight. Artisans who used to work in Ivory are mostly nonexistent now. This work cannot be replaced as it is handcrafted and not a factory produced item. It is an opportunity to purchase a one of a kind gem.
