Baboon Necklace

Another member of the Jana Reinhardt Africa tribe, this unique baboon necklace is an animal totem symbolising family union and defending your kin from danger. An important figure in Egyptian mythology, the baboon Thoth was said to represent wisdom, strength and judgement, and often featured on ancient Egyptian protection amulets and talismans.

But it’s not all serious spiritualism, the baboon is the owner of the most renowned rear-end in the animal kingdom, after all! We just couldn’t resist transforming that famous feature into the most beautifully be-jewelled bottom, intricately carved and set with two sparkling red rubies.

One of our most original pieces, we like to think this baboon necklace marries two of our main loves, the quirky features that make the animal kingdom so unique and amazing, and precious stone studded fine jewellery. The perfect gift if you’d like a little talisman to protect someone you hold dear, or an inspired choice for that person with a sense of humour like ours, who appreciates the tongue-in-cheek and offbeat.
