◘ A S H I R O ◘ [to become — to transform] 

A leather necklace inspired by the evolution of a warrior—

not in the moment of battle…
but in the quiet shift that follows.

When strength becomes responsibility.
When instinct becomes intention.
When power learns restraint.

A S H I R O — In Motion

 

The Piece...

An 8-strand hand-braided collar of kangaroo leather forms a continuous, sculptural line—strong, refined, and deeply tactile. The braid moves with precision, wrapping and securing each element in place rather than simply holding it.

Woven into the structure are five natural stone beads—three prominent, two subtle—each one braided directly into the form.

Not added.
But built into the path.

These stones, known as African Turquoise, are associated with growth, transformation, and forward movement—a quiet alignment with the spirit of the piece.

At the back, a sculptural leather toggle completes the design.

A functional form.
A point of connection.
A moment where the piece comes together—and holds.

Sizing...

This piece is designed as a structured collar and fits differently than a standard chain necklace.

Please select your size based on your actual neck measurement (not another necklace).

To measure:
Wrap a soft measuring tape snugly around your neck where you would like the piece to sit.

For a slightly looser fit, you may choose to add 1/2” to your measurement.

If you’re unsure, feel free to  Contact Me—I’m happy to guide you.

Please Note:
Each piece is custom made to your selected measurement and is not eligible for returns or exchanges.

The Stone...

African Turquoise—actually a form of jasper—is known as the Stone of Evolution.

It is believed to support personal growth, transformation, and positive change…
encouraging clarity, confidence, and openness to new paths.

Lux Leather...

Kangaroo leather is one of the strongest leathers in the world relative to its weight.

It allows for an exceptionally fine, tight braid while maintaining remarkable durability and structure. This strength makes it possible to create a piece that is both substantial and refined—without added bulk.

Smooth, resilient, and naturally flexible, it moves with the body while holding its form over time.

Shipping is calculated at checkout — Each piece is carefully packaged and shipped with tracking and insurance.

Made-to-order pieces ship within 3 to 10 days.

Created as a custom commission...

“I’m at a loss for words… the craftsmanship is out of this world. I’m beyond happy with the results.”
