The brown Suraya necklace
Embrace a piece of jewellery that feels intentional, grounded, and deeply connected to a global community of makers. This necklace is a tactile celebration of raw, organic textures—bringing together the warmth of the sun and the rich depth of the earth.
The Craft & Design
Each piece is handmade in the UK, meticulously assembled to honor a "slow," soulful approach to craft. The design features:
• Hand-Carved Coconut Beads: These natural, dark beads provide a porous, organic foundation that feels light and warm against the skin.
• Artisan Brass Charms: Featuring a central leaf-shaped pendant flanked by geometric diamonds, the brass elements offer a vintage, golden luster that catches the light beautifully.
• Versatile Fit: Designed with a sliding knot, this necklace is fully adjustable. It can be worn as a close-fitting piece at 16" or extended up to 22", allowing it to sit perfectly over different necklines.
The Commitment
Kaiōko is built on a foundation of mutual support. 5% of every sale is donated to Kiva, where it is specifically used to fund micro-loans for artisans in developing communities. This helps our partners invest in the tools and materials they need to keep their traditional crafts alive and thriving.
Care Instructions
To keep your jewellery looking its best, please follow these guidelines:
• Polishing: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently polish the brass elements to maintain their brightness.
• Water Warning: Avoid wearing this piece in water. Because coconut beads are natural and porous, moisture can cause them to swell or distort.
• Drying: If the necklace does get wet, lay it flat to dry naturally; this helps the beads return to their original shape.
