Horn Wristband by Authentic Spirit

Neatly, a ring of glossy striped beads rests on a gnarly root like a very polished crown.

This horn wristband with 22 karat gold is by Authentic Spirit. Horn is a natural material that can be heated, shaped and polished, and it has been made into bracelets and other ornaments in many parts of the world. Noted first, a stretch bracelet of round beads in dark brown, caramel and cream, with a streaky, banded look. Tiny bright yellow spacers sit between the beads. It rests on a knotty, honey colored root with a rough, burl-like surface.

Sleek beads on a gnarly stump, and the contrast is deliberate.
