Bohemian long necklace in Cocobolo wood & Obsidian - Handcrafted wooden jewelry
Determination. Protection. Calm force.
This Totem necklace combines the density of carved wood with the telluric power of natural stones.
The vertical line of the pendant traces a confident energy, like a talisman reinvented to move forward without flinching.
In the center, the Rosewood unfolds with fiery veins: a noble, warm wood that anchors and opens up the space for relationships.
L'’Onyx adds its protective role: it absorbs and filters.
A pearl of Kambaba Jasper, a stone of ancestral strength, extends this volcanic earth energy.
L'’Hematite, with discreet touches, structures, refocuses and reassures.
Each piece is hand-carved, unique in its hue and natural movement.
The two connecting elements, also crafted from wood, close the necklace with a sober, intelligent touch.
The pendant is placed in the hollow of the chest, where momentum meets courage.
It's not an ornament, it's a true companion on the road.
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 that nourishes the material and reveals its depth.

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.

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.

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.
