Primitive Leather Bib Necklace, Antique Wooden Bird, OOAK Wearable Art, Tribal Assemblage Jewelry

Imagine a jewelry piece that isn’t just an accessory, but a silent storyteller—a wearable collage where fragments of history, technology, and folk art come together. This avant-garde, mixed-media necklace is a poetic dialogue between two completely different eras of the last century, woven together with raw textiles and organic textures.
At the very center rests a remarkable artifact: a wooden bird, hand-carved by a traditional folk artist at the dawn of the 20th century. For decades, it held its own quiet memory, only to be rediscovered and embedded into this modern talisman. Contrasting this organic, century-old folklore is a beautiful piece of industrial history—an authentic, mid-century resistor salvaged from a vintage Tesla radio. It stands as a tiny, nostalgic nod to early communication and human ingenuity, cradled gently within layers of premium leather and raw linen.
Framed by distressed cords, intricately wrapped wire, and wandering threads that create a captivating sense of movement, this piece is an uncompromising statement. It is a portal to the past, a capsule of curiosity, and a pure manifestation of "Art to Wear"—created in a single, unrepeatable exemplar for those who collect jewelry with a soul.


✨ THE STORY & MATERIALS:
Every single element of this mixed-media talisman carries its own memory and texture, carefully assembled into a harmonious, raw, and primitive composition:
• The Folk Art Bird: The captivating focal point is a genuine, hand-carved wooden bird crafted by a folk artist at the beginning of the last century (early 1900s). It brings a soul and history to the piece that cannot be replicated.
• The Vintage Tesla Resistor: Woven into the textile structure is an authentic, mid-century vintage resistor salvaged from a historic Tesla radio (mid-1900s)—a beautiful nod to early industrial tech hidden within organic materials.
• The Textiles & Textures: A rich combination of premium leather, raw linen, vintage fabrics, distressed linen cords, and intricately wrapped wire and recycled metal elements. The loose, dangling linen threads add a wonderful, raw fiber-art movement to the pendant.
• The Ligament: The Wrapped Leather Neckpiece: The neckpiece features a sturdy cord base, beautifully and meticulously wrapped with a genuine leather strap. This creation ensures both comfort and a powerful primitive aesthetic, fastening elegantly at the back with a vintage button closure.
Perfect for lovers of dark academia, avant-garde style, fiber art clothing, and historical curiosity collections.
