THE OSSA COLLECTION

Primal. Prehistoric. Organic. Corporeal. Raw. These are the words that come to mind when one thinks of bones, or "ossa" in Latin. Beautiful yet eerie forms that shape and nurture living things, bones are the only things we leave behind when we depart from this world. Eternal.

MUSTELA VISON NECKLACE

The mandible (lower jaw) of the American mink Mustela Vison, when separated from the rest of the skull, looks like a fierce claw. Decorated with gold and pearl beads, it becomes vicious and ladylike all in one.

Oxidized sterling silver with 14k goldfilled beads and freshwater pearls.

14k goldfilled drawn cable chain, 22" long.

Each necklace is handmade. As with all handmade objects, there will be slight variations in appearance that add to the unique nature of each piece.
