Description
A pebble held in the palm. Smoothed by time, marked by intention. The Ebony & Brass Inlay Oval Pendant Necklace is carved from dense black ebony wood, hand-textured across its surface, and inlaid with a single fine line of raw brass that runs horizontally across its widest point. The result is a pendant of almost geological stillness — dark, heavy for its size, and quietly extraordinary up close.
Available in two orientations: Horizontal, worn wide across the chest (approx. 43mm), and Vertical, worn long and narrow (approx. 34mm). Both hang from a black wax cord and are made entirely by hand. Ebony is a living material — it deepens and develops its characteristic deep black lustre the more it is handled and worn.

A Note on Ebony
New ebony pendants may not yet have developed their full depth of colour. The natural black pigment in ebony stabilises and deepens with regular handling and wear — this is called developing a patina. To encourage this:
· Handle and wear the pendant regularly
· Polish occasionally with a soft cloth
· Avoid showering or swimming while wearing it
· Remove during intense exercise: perspiration can cause natural black pigment to transfer onto light-coloured clothing before the wood has fully set
Care Instructions
· Do not submerge in water or wear in the shower
· Remove during vigorous exercise
· Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight
· Polish with a soft cloth to maintain lustre

+ FAQ
What is the difference between Horizontal and Vertical?
The Horizontal style is worn with the oval lying on its side, wider across the chest (approx. 43mm). The Vertical style is worn with the oval standing upright, narrower and slightly more elongated (approx. 34mm). Both have the same brass inlay and wax cord construction.
Why does the ebony look slightly brown when it arrives?
New ebony that has not yet been handled may appear dark brown rather than deep black. This is normal — the characteristic jet-black colour develops as the wood is worn and handled regularly. Think of it as the piece becoming more itself over time.
Will the brass inlay tarnish?
Brass naturally oxidises over time. On the inlay, this can add to the aged character of the piece. If you prefer to keep the brass bright, wipe it occasionally with a dry soft cloth.
Will my pendant look exactly like the photographs?
Each pendant is carved and finished by hand, so no two are identical. Grain direction, surface texture, and overall proportion will vary slightly. The photographs show representative examples of each style.
Is this suitable as a gift?
Yes. The pendant arrives in iBrilliance packaging. It suits anyone who appreciates quiet, considered objects — made from natural materials, by hand, without excess.
