Sacred Ibis Bolo Necklace - Brass & Ethiopian Opal

A handcrafted bolo necklace inspired by the sacred ibis — a symbol of wisdom, protection, and victory over darkness.

The central piece is hand-carved in wax and cast in pure brass, showing an ibis overcoming a serpent. Two handmade brass feathers move freely below, adding light, rhythm, and a sense of ritual movement. A small Ethiopian opal adds a quiet flash of color, like a hidden spark of light within the gold-toned metal.

This piece can be worn as a statement necklace, a symbolic talisman, or a gender-fluid accessory with a relaxed linen shirt, open collar, or layered evening look.

Worn on the runway at Sunny Isles Beach Fashion Week 2026.

Care

Brass naturally develop a deeper patina over time. To keep your bolo necklace looking bright, gently wipe the metal with a soft dry cloth after wearing.

Avoid water, perfume, lotions, sunscreen, household chemicals, and prolonged humidity. Ethiopian opal is a delicate natural stone and should not be soaked, cleaned with chemicals, or exposed to extreme heat.

Store separately in a dry place, preferably in a soft pouch or jewelry box, to protect the opal and prevent the feathers from scratching.

If needed, polish the bronze and brass areas lightly with a jewelry polishing cloth, avoiding direct pressure on the opal. Do not use liquid jewelry cleaners.

Store in the pouch provided. Avoid perfume, lotion, and water contact. Polish gently with a soft cloth.
