What you notice first is the yak bone — an ivory-toned organic material, matte and slightly porous, with natural grain marks. The second note is the bone — a pale, matte organic material with visible grain and a slight tonal difference between beads. The proportions are kept to a strand that sits at the wrist, and the design belongs to Tsering Treasures, a series centred on warm metals, carved detail and mixed materials.
A short account of the materials, taken in the order they matter to the design. Yak Bone is a different case in wear: it is light, warm to the touch and slightly absorbent, so it ages fastest where it meets skin. Bone needs a separate note: it is light in the hand and warm to the touch, but softer than stone and it dislikes knocks. Textile Cord — a closely braided cord whose matte surface shows the weave up close. In everyday use, it softens further with handling, and a strand worn every day will eventually lift where it crosses a metal edge.
Sizing runs across three stated ranges: 6.5–8 in, up to 9.5–10.5 in. If you are between two options, the smaller one usually sits better on a piece that carries weight. Protection is presented as cultural context and a personal reminder, not a guaranteed result. The photographed piece is a representative example; natural variation in the selected piece is expected. Final measurements, availability and the preparation window are all confirmed in writing before payment.
Care
Keep it dry, out of prolonged sun, and never soak it. Keep it dry, out of prolonged sun, and wipe it gently; ask before using any cleaner. Keep it dry, avoid perfume and household chemicals, and replace the cord once the fibres begin to lift. Take it off before swimming, bathing or washing up; prolonged water is the most common cause of avoidable wear. Store the piece separately so it does not scratch against harder jewellery.
