Black Ox Horn Information
Black ox horn beads come from ethically sourced ox horn, showcasing a deep, rich black hue. Artisans shape and polish the horn, creating smooth, durable beads with a unique appearance. Each bead features subtle light reflections, enhancing its organic yet sophisticated look.
Formation and Craftsmanship
Artisans clean and soften raw ox horn to prepare it for shaping. They carefully carve the horn into beads of various sizes and shapes. After shaping, they polish the beads to a smooth finish, bringing out the natural shine. Some artisans dye or treat the beads to enhance the black color, while others retain the natural look with added carvings.
Symbolism and Cultural Significance
Throughout history, cultures have valued ox horn for its strength and durability. It symbolizes resilience and protection. Many believe the horn carries grounding energy, warding off negative influences. The black color of the beads represents mystery, elegance, and power. Wearing black ox horn beads connects the wearer to the earth’s energy and provides strength in challenging times.
Uses and Applications
Designers frequently use black ox horn beads in jewelry, including bracelets, necklaces, and earrings. These beads pair well with metals, wood, and other organic materials, creating a balanced, earthy look. Due to their durability, black ox horn beads are perfect for daily wear and special occasions. Their unique textures and patterns make them highly sought after by those who appreciate artisanal craftsmanship and eco-conscious accessories.
Care and Maintenance
To preserve the beauty of black ox horn beads, keep them out of direct sunlight and moisture. Clean them gently with a soft cloth, and store them in a cool, dry location. Proper care helps maintain their shine and longevity, ensuring your black ox horn jewelry remains a timeless, cherished piece.

Care Guide
Handling
- Gentle Handling: Although ox horn is a durable material, it is still susceptible to scratches, dents, or cracks if mishandled. Always hold the earrings by the hooks, not by the beads, to reduce the risk of damage.
- Avoid Dropping: Ox horn is prone to chipping or cracking if dropped onto hard surfaces. Store your earrings in a safe place where they won’t be accidentally knocked over or exposed to impact.
Cleaning
- Ox Horn Beads: Clean the ox horn beads with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust or oils. If necessary, use a slightly dampened cloth (water only) for more thorough cleaning. Immediately dry the beads with a soft, dry cloth to prevent water from soaking into the material.
- PVD-plated Stainless Steel Hooks: Use a microfiber cloth to gently clean the stainless steel hooks. For more detailed cleaning, wash with a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then dry completely to avoid water spots.
Storage
- Safe Storage: Store your Ox Horn Earrings in a soft cloth pouch or padded jewelry box to avoid scratches and pressure on the beads. Keeping them separate from other jewelry items will prevent contact with abrasive materials that could damage the horn.
- Avoid Moisture: Ox horn is sensitive to moisture, which can cause the material to warp or crack. Keep your earrings in a dry place, away from humid environments such as bathrooms, and avoid prolonged exposure to water or extreme temperatures.
Chemical Exposure
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Keep your earrings away from chemicals, perfumes, lotions, and cleaning products, as these can damage the natural ox horn beads and dull the finish of the PVD-plated hooks.
- Swimming and Showering: Remove your Ox Horn Earrings before swimming or showering to prevent damage from water, chlorine, or salt.
Maintenance
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check your earrings for any signs of wear or damage, such as cracks or chips in the horn beads or fading of the PVD-plated finish on the hooks.
- Polish the Horn Beads: To maintain the shine of the ox horn, gently buff the beads with a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch or damage the surface of the horn.
- Care for the Hooks: If the stainless steel hooks lose their shine over time, use a microfiber cloth to gently polish them. For more stubborn spots, a mild soap solution and a soft brush can be used.
By following these care instructions, your Ox Horn Earrings will maintain their natural beauty and the hypoallergenic PVD-plated stainless steel hooks will stay durable, ensuring a long-lasting and comfortable wear.
Size Guide
6 & 10mm beads, in some cases the size of the stone beads may vary +-1mm. Hook lengths range between 1cm basic hooks, 1.5+cm English Locks, 2cm silver hooks – refer to the product photos. In newer designs, the stainless steel spacer daisies, bead caps and small beads contribute 3-4mm extra length (refer to product photo) In principle I keep the weight below 5 grams per earring, so it doesn’t stretch or hurt your ears even if you wear it the whole day. Occasionally, for some designs, that weight limit exceeds by a gram – every pair has their specific weight marked under the overview tab. Note that some earring hooks have thicker wires, and if you are not used to wearing earrings daily, using them will feel uncomfortable in the beginning.
