Horn Jewelry

Handmade horn jewelry, carved in natural water buffalo horn. Deep black, smooth horn is polished to a smooth finish by hand to make our boho earrings and natural jewelry.

Genuine horn created into jewelry with precision skill by talented artists whose local tradition for centuries has been making carved horn art and jewelry. Each piece is carefully crafted one at a time, by hand from selected natural horn of the South-East Asian Domestic Water Buffalo. These large animals are used for plowing fields and carrying heavy loads, and are treasured and cared for into old age. In recent years too many jewelry producers have started harvesting the buffalo horn, making them rare and difficult to get, as well as victim to poaching and theft. Although we still have this collection of Buffalo horn jewelry, we no longer produce jewelry made in horn, in regards to the unregulated over-harvesting of this precious and much needed animal, for fear of poor practices by those who provide the horn to us. The jewelry we offer here was all made of horn harvested previous to 2016. Please get what you want soon, for we will not make any more of this precious jewelry until the practices of other producers improve enough to protect this sacred animal.

About the horn earrings and jewelry:
Horn is very much like your hair or fingernails in nature, and requires care. The horn needs to be conditioned, and should be oiled to protect it
as we suggested earlier. This will maintain the color and preserve the smooth surface.
