The Nura Necklace
A blend of textured earthiness and classic elegance, the Nura Teardrop Necklace is a striking statement of natural simplicity. This design contrasts the deep, organic tones of coconut with the bright warmth of brass, creating a piece that feels both grounded and refined.
The Craft & Design
Each Nura Teardrop Necklace is handmade in the UK, meticulously assembled with a focus on artisanal texture.
• Hand-Carved Coconut Beads: The necklace strand is made from dark, disc-shaped coconut shell beads. Their natural, slightly uneven texture provides a deep, matte foundation against the skin.
• Intricate Brass Pendants:
• Central Teardrop Amulet: A brass pendant in a teardrop shape anchors the design.
• Accent Beads: Three polished brass spacer beads sit just above the pendant, adding a refined touch of luster and highlighting the central charm.
• Artisan Sourcing: The distinctive brass elements are sourced directly from our skilled artisan partners in Africa and Asia.
• Fully Adjustable: Designed with a robust, woven dark cord and a sliding knot closure, this necklace can be adjusted between 16" and 22", allowing you to find the perfect drop for any outfit.
• Finished Ends: The sliding cord tails are accented with small brass beads, ensuring a polished look even from the back
The Commitment
True to the Kaiōko ethos, this necklace supports the global community of makers. 5% of every sale is donated to Kiva to provide micro-loans for artisans. This funding empowers our partners to invest in their workshops, preserving traditional handmade techniques for generations to come.
Care Instructions
• Water Advisory: To protect the natural integrity of the coconut shell beads and the quality of the cord, we recommend avoiding contact with water.
• Metal Care: To keep your brass elements shining, gently polish them with a soft jewellery cloth.
• Natural Product: Because coconut is an organic material, allow the necklace to air dry completely if it becomes damp, maintaining its flat shape.
