Bone Jewelry

Bone carving is as old as civilization itself. Earliest man carved bone for tools, household implements and adornment. Every culture that carves bone jewelry carves icons unique to their heritage and surroundings. In the majority of these cultures it is believed that the wearer's very essence is absorbed into the bone as they wear it. When the wearer dies the carving is passed on and the next wearer benefits from the essence infused in the bone. A very old bone carving that has been worn will be the color of dark honey.
