A talisman for the woman who is civilized in public and untamed underneath.
I prey on those minutes the dew turns into gold,
I slither through the stars chasing away the cold,
Words of freedom prowl on my lips,
As I shed the human and wake my feral beast.
— Instinto Animal, from the Animal Instinct collection
I wrote that poem before I made this piece. The jaguar came after, because a poem you can only read once is not enough. I wanted something you could put on.
This jaguar head is meant to be worn long, close to your heart. Not as decoration. As a reminder.
Because we live a paradox every day. We are composed, responsible, in control. And underneath there is still instinct. Power. Fire. Raw beauty. This piece is about being savagely civilized : knowing when to be soft, and knowing exactly when not to be.
Tip: wear it long paired with our golden chocker ! A savagely elegant combo.
The details
-
Japanese Miyuki beads, hand-woven bead by bead
-
Murano glass or peridot eyes — each pair set by hand, so no two jaguars look at you the same way
-
Gold-plated chain, 76 cm — long enough to sit at the heart, over a shirt, a dress, or bare skin. Fold the chain in two for a shorter necklace.
- Handmade in Los Cabos, Mexico, in small batches
Before you order
- Ships to Mexico and the USA, tracked
- Every piece is made by hand : small variations in the beadwork are the signature, not a flaw
- Care: keep it dry, store it flat, and it will outlast the mood you bought it in
Part of Animal Instinct; wearable poetry by Anne Sidora.
