This pendant features a handwoven head made from walnut bark.
It is named the “Cobblestone Ring” for its weave pattern resembling a cobblestone path.The pattern is created by combining the light brown outer surface and the dark brown inner surface of the walnut bark. Rather than a flat cobblestone form, the piece is twisted all the way around, allowing you to enjoy the shifting tones of the bark even more.Depending on the gathered material, the outer surface may appear slightly darker or lighter.The color also changes subtly with the lighting and angle. Please note that these differences are part of the natural character of the material.On one side, the pale brown of the outer bark is the main color.When flipped, the dark tone of the inner bark becomes dominant, creating a different mood and expression. You can enjoy changing how you wear it depending on your mood.A brown or black leather cord—matching the tone of the head—is attached and adjustable in length.Connecting the cobblestone ring to the leather cord is a smaller cobblestone ring. It is carefully designed so that the main cobblestone ring always faces forward.The intricate weaving and the gentle twist give it a sense of depth and quiet sophistication.Its colors are rich and subdued, carrying a calm, elegant weight.It also looks charming when worn shorter by adjusting the cord.Here it is shown worn with the cord lengthened.
This pendant has a strong presence and can easily become the centerpiece of your outfit. Like leather, walnut bark grows smoother and develops a gentle sheen with touch. Please enjoy its transformation over time.
