Green Jade Tagua Stash Adjustable Hemp Necklace w/ Elk Antler Tips Smoky Quartz

The pendant for this necklace is a pill box measuring: 6 x 4.5 x 3.3 cm. (2 3/8″ x 1 3/4″ x 1 1/4″), made from a hand-finished tagua nut (vegetable palm ivory). I inlaid a 25 x 18 mm. green, mountain jade cabochon on top of the lid. The swivel lid closes tightly to keep your treasures safe. Its inner chamber’s dimensions are approximately: 3.5 x 3.3 x 2.3 cm. (1 3/8″ x 1 1/4″ x 7/8″). For the neckpiece, I did macrame with forest green, chocolate brown, and natural colored hemp; using: smoky quartz, moss agate, banded agate, and tiger’s eye rounds; cruelty free, elk antler tips; faux wood rondelles; foil-filled, glass crow beads; and a wooden donut. The length is adjustable; starting at 21.5 cm. (16″), up to 89 cm. ( 35″). Just slip it over your head, and slide the lock knot to desired length. The necklace also comes with a storage pouch for safekeeping Tagua nuts are a renewable product of the rain forests of Central and South America, and are a viable alternative to animal ivory. Each nut has its own unique pattern, similar to a fingerprint. The last picture shows a raw tagua nut, so you have a better idea what I start with.
