The yak bone leads here, and it is an ivory-toned organic material, matte and slightly porous, with natural grain marks. The bone provides the counterweight, being a pale, matte organic material with visible grain and a slight tonal difference between beads. The proportions are kept to a hanging piece that sits at the collarbone, and the design belongs to Tsering Treasures, a series centred on warm metals, carved detail and mixed materials.
What follows is a plain description of each material, including how it changes. For the yak bone, the behaviour matters more than the finish: 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.
Sizing runs across three stated ranges: 6.75–8 in, up to 8–9.5 in. Ask us for a photograph on a measured wrist if the difference between two options is unclear. The theme is strength as a quiet cue; no result is implied by the material. Because these are natural materials, expect small differences in colour and pattern between the photo and your piece. The piece, its dimensions and the preparation window are set out in writing first, and only then is payment taken.
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. Water, perfume and cleaning products are the three things most likely to shorten its life. Keep it out of a damp room and separate from harder pieces, and the finish will hold far longer.
