Elephant Hair Mini Bangle Necklace in Sterling Silver

Our Sterling Silver Elephant “hair” bracelet design draws us into an ancient African story, rich with symbolism that is over 1500 years old.

We've taken an ancient African elephant bangle design and miniaturized it to make this unique necklace. It is made from hand-drawn sterling silver wire. The mini bangle is approximately 21 mm round and hangs on a length of sterling silver chain of your choosing.

The specific design of this bracelet is very significant. We have chosen the 2knot style for this design.

Two Knot Bracelet

The first knot represents nature, or the earth; the second represents our ancestors while the strands connect us all together. The bracelet reminds us of the connection to these realms.

The Structure

It can feel very satisfying to adjust and move the knots along the strands. This motion is also meaningful. It imitates the progression of life, and how, with the aid of natural and spiritual forces, we move forward in continual growth.

Traditionally, elephant hair bracelets, connect the wearer with the spirit of the elephant, and are believed to bring strength, courage, good fortune, as well as protection from harm.

With so much meaning imbued in these special bracelets, the wearer can choose which associations are most meaningful to them.

While of course, the original bracelets were made from real elephant hair, we chose not to use elephant hair as it would be very difficult to verify whether or not the hair was sourced from a poached animal. 

We hope our silver bracelets will remind you of our relationship with the earth, our ancestors and the true majestic nature of the elephant, all done in the spirit of conservation.
