Bond Necklace - Papua New Guinea

Refined and symbolic, the Bond Necklace by Bilum & Bilas features a finely handwoven circular pendant that reflects connection, continuity, and the threads that unite us. Crafted from rapa — a plant fibre foraged and prepared entirely by hand — the pendant is finished with a delicate ring of 18k gold-filled beading, adding a polished accent that elevates this traditional adornment into a timeless everyday piece. Suspended on an 18k gold-filled chain, it blends natural texture with modern elegance.

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