Nambis Necklace - Papua New Guinea

Delicate and distinctive, the Nambis Necklace by Bilum & Bilas blends natural texture with a refined hint of shimmer. Each pendant is handwoven by women artisans in Papua New Guinea using rapa — a natural plant fibre similar to sisal, foraged and prepared entirely by hand. Adorned with fine metal beading and suspended on a gold-filled or sterling silver chain, it’s a modern piece rooted in timeless tradition.

This necklace honours centuries of cultural craftsmanship while supporting fair, sustainable livelihoods for women artisans in Papua New Guinea.
