Bone

Our organic buffalo and cow bone is beautiful. An ivory-like natural white cream color, it is a durable and timeless material, however you should take care not to drop it, as it will break. Our bone jewelry will last a lifetime and into the next. The raw material is processed to clean it to purity, then carefully sectioned into workable pieces that can be carved and polished smooth by hand.

Horn

Our horn jewelry is made from carefully selected horn in beautiful colors, and sectioned into workable sized pieces, carefully sorted by color and thickness to be made into this timeless and cherished jewelry. It should be cared for and oiled on occasion. The beautiful horn in its deep black and turtle shell-like colors is more and more difficult to obtain morally, as it needs to be from adult aged bison, traditionally never killed until they are too old. as so many jewelry producers have sought this material, the water buffalo of Asia is being harvested-out at a young age. We do not make much of this horn jewelry now, so as to be certain that our bison are loved and respected.

COW or BISON BONE and HORN

HARVESTING PRACTICE: The bone and horn we use is a by-product of meat production and farming practice. OTHER DETAILS: Recycled. The Cow and buffalo are domesticated animals. It is used to plow fields and carry loads. They are well treated and important to the survival of people. When they old, they are eaten and all part of the animal are utilized. They are never taken in pursuit of the bones and horns!

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.

About the carved bone earrings and bone jewelry:

Try not to drop it, sit or step on it. The bone does not need to be conditioned, but may be oiled to protect your bone earrings as we suggest in the beginning of this page. This will cause the color to deepen into an ivory like-tone, not bone white.

MOTHER OF PEARL

MOTHER OF PEARL, HARVESTING PRACTICE: skin diving to deep reefs, the shells are found already dead. We also use mother of pearl from pearl farms, left after pearls are harvested. OTHER DETAILS: Recycled. OUR SOURCE: Recycled. We use shell that is a byproduct of production of fine mother of pearl bowls from a factory in a nearby city when we can get it. We choose to recycle the best quality pieces from the remnants of their production
