This necklace has the energy of a talisman — and wears like one.

The Afghan Oxidised Deity Shield Charm Wood Bead Necklace from HeerMaya features four graduated oxidised silver shield-shaped pendants, each bearing a deity figure in relief within a dotted border, hanging from a black leather cord strung with chunky dark wood spheres and vivid turquoise rounds.

The contrast of the raw, dark wood and the bright turquoise against the weathered silver creates a visual tension that is both earthy and striking.

✦ Perfect for: White or cream ethnic wear, boho western outfits, off-shoulder looks
✦ Pairs beautifully with: Turquoise stud earrings or simple silver hoops
✦ Wood beads are naturally grained — each strand is one of a kind

Style Tip: Style this against bare skin or a simple white off-shoulder top — the dark wood, turquoise, and oxidised silver palette needs a clean backdrop. Pull your hair to one side to let the necklace have the full neckline.
