The Story
This necklace is handmade in the Philippines, a country with a long-standing global reputation for wood and natural-material accessories, especially out of Cebu, where small workshops cut, sand, and finish local woods like buri palm and other native hardwoods into beads, discs, and pendants for export worldwide.
The multi-strand disc necklace draws on that same wood-bead vocabulary: simple flat or rounded shapes, strung in volume rather than carved into figures, so the necklace's character comes from repetition, layering, and the natural variation between individual discs rather than from a single symbolic motif.
Mixing pale, tan, and deep brown tones in one piece is a common approach in Filipino wood-accessory making, letting the necklace read as an earthy, tonal statement piece rather than a single-material design.
Necklaces like this one start with raw wood cut into rounds, then sanded smooth and finished to bring out each piece's natural tone and grain. Each disc is hand-drilled and sorted by size and shade before being strung, strand by strand, into the layered design, with a clasp and extender chain attached by hand at the end. The variation in color and grain across the piece comes directly from the wood itself and from the hands sorting and stringing it.

Questions & Answers
How long is this necklace?
It measures about 17.5 inches around, with a 3-inch extender chain so you can adjust the fit.
What is the necklace made from?
It's made from wood discs in a mix of cream, beige, tan, and brown tones, strung on five strands with a silver-tone alloy lobster clasp.
Will the color match the photo exactly?
Close, but expect natural variation — since the discs are cut from real wood, grain and tone differ slightly piece to piece.
Is it heavy to wear?
Wood is naturally lightweight, so despite its layered, statement-making look, it wears more comfortably than a metal or stone piece of similar size.
How do I care for it?
Keep it dry, avoid lotions and perfume contact, and wipe it clean with a soft cloth to keep the wood finish looking its best.
