Talisman necklace in precious wood and metal – Handcrafted jewelry in carved wood
An adornment that dances with the light and embraces the neck like a promise
This wood and metal choker necklace is crafted like a talisman, a delicate armor that accentuates the curve of the neck with both strength and subtlety. Every detail has been carefully considered to capture the light and structure the silhouette.
From the tapered pendant at the front to the double-pendant magnetic clasp that adorns the nape of the neck, it offers timeless elegance. Its clean, archaic design, combined with the nobility of the materials, makes it a piece of character: a true object of power, both raw and refined, hand-sculpted.
A dialogue between materials
- Burgundy camphor | A precious wood with pearly reflections, cut into an angular shape evoking both stability and dynamism.
- Raw pyrite | A metallic stone that captures the light and is reminiscent of the ancient adornments of warriors and priestesses.
- Jasper | A mineral with organic veins, between fire and earth, which strengthens grounding and balance.
A piece of jewelry that acts like a seal.
This choker is a statement piece that encourages self-affirmation. Its carved wooden pendant acts as a focal point at the center of the body, while the pyrite and jasper beads extend this axis with a fluid and contrasting geometry.
Sculpture & craft assembly
Each creation is the result of sculpture and polishing fully realized by hand, in a wood species selected for its unique character.
The finishes reach a rare level of excellence: no trace of crimping interrupt the purity of the lines.
Before each piece reaches its jewel box, it receives a special skincare oil, which nourishes matter and reveals its depth.
How to wear this inspired design?
- Stunning with a low neckline, a blazer or a flowing dress for an elegant play of textures.
- Worn close to the neck, slightly adjustable thanks to the magnetic clasp which unfolds into a double pendant at the back.
- Can be combined with other minimalist pieces to accentuate its graphic impact.
Textures & Materials
- Raw and natural materials: This necklace pairs perfectly with textiles that have a raw look, such as linen, thick cotton, hemp, or woven wool. These materials evoke a connection with nature and reinforce its organic feel.
- Patinated leather or suede: To emphasize its slightly tribal and antique character, a garment or accessory in aged leather or suede would provide a nice balance.
- Raw & oxidized metals: Pyrite has a raw metallic texture that harmonizes well with jewelry made of Aged brass, hammered copper, or oxidized silver.
Color Palette
- Earth and fire: Ochre, rust, terracotta, warm brown and sandy beige will recall the nuances of stones and wood.
- Black & deep grey: To play on contrasts and enhance the mineral effect of pyrite.
- Stone and driftwood tones: Beige, light grey and ivory for a softer look.

How to care for your handcrafted wood and pearl necklace?
Caring for your necklace the way you care for yourself
Rest assured, ladies, caring for a wooden and gemstone necklace requires very little time! It is much more than just a piece of jewelry. It carries within it the memory of the carved wood, the energy of the stones that compose it, and the intention of the artisan who crafted it. Like our own bodies, It evolves over time, it breathes, it absorbs the elements and movements of life. To preserve its beauty and strength, it requires special attention.
Wood, a living material
Wood softens and develops a patina when touched by the skin, but can also dry out if left untreated. Pearls, whether mineral or organic, absorb light and the environment, and deserve to be protected from external aggression. Caring for your necklace is not just about extending its life, it's also about respecting the material, honoring what is natural and allow it to flourish over time.
With a few simple gestures, you can accompany your jewel on its journey, giving it what it needs to endure the years with elegance and authenticity.
Find out here how to preserve and care for your wood and pearl necklace so that it stays with you for a long time.
Avoid water and humidity
Wood and certain types of natural stone can be water-sensitive. It is recommended to :
Remove your collar before showering, bathing or swimming.
To preserve wood and pearls, avoid very humid environments.
Gentle, natural cleaning
Use a soft, dry cloth to regularly remove dust from the collar.
For wood, apply a drop of natural oil (jojoba, sweet almond). once or twice a year to nourish and protect the material.
For stones, a light wipe with a slightly damp cloth may suffice.
Protection against heat and chemicals
Do not expose the collar to extreme temperatures or a prolonged sunlight.
Avoid contact with perfume, chemicals or make-up that could damage the stones and wood.
Energetic recharging of stones
Place the stones under the full moon for natural recharging.
For certain stones, such as labradorite, recharging on a quartz cluster or a amethyst geode can be beneficial.
The Padouk wood is an exotic species renowned for its sturdiness, durability and an orange-red hue that changes over time. It has one notable feature: it sweat under the influence of heat and humidity. This "transpiration" corresponds to the exudation of natural resins contained in the wood.
Special features of Padouk wood
Why does Padouk sweat?
- Padouk is rich in resins and natural oils, which protect it from external aggressions (insects, fungi, humidity).
- When wood is exposed to rising temperatures or humidity, these substances rise to the surface in the form of micro-exudations.
- This is particularly visible on smooth or varnished surfaces, where exudation sometimes creates a sticky film.
How to care for Padouk wood
- Cleaning Regular: Wipe the surface with a soft, clean cloth to remove excess resin.
- Use of a degreaser Gentle: diluted spirit or vinegar can help remove resin without damaging the wood.
- Oiling (optional): A specific oil for exotic woods can help stabilize the surface and reduce rising.
- Sanding Light sanding if necessary: If the exudation becomes too significant, light sanding with an abrasive sponge can help open the pores of the wood and limit the phenomenon.
