Wearing an orangutan necklace feels like carrying a piece of the wild's wisdom and playfulness around your neck. Orangutans, known for their gentle nature and striking intelligence, symbolize patience and curiosity. Historically, these remarkable creatures have been associated with knowledge and intuition, given their thoughtful behaviors and deep connections with their forest homes, adding a layer of enchantment to their allure.

Orangutan Necklace

Amazonia Collection


 

A handmade Orangutan pendant with purpose: £20 of each sale will be donated to Ovaid - a charity that helps these simply amazing endangered animals.      
 
Our adorable orangutan necklace features a finely hand-carved miniature monkey charm, swinging from a fine curb chain. The detail in this piece is exceptional, with brilliantly life-like tiny fingers and toes, an adorable curved belly and an animated, intelligent face. Jana has even captured the texture of this cheeky ape's trademark red hair.
 
Orangutans are arguably our closest living relatives in the animal kingdom. A recent study showed we share at least 28 unique physical characteristics with them, even the internal structures of our brains are very similar!  But the future of our fascinating cousins is in peril. According to the WWF there are only 100,000 Bornean orangutans left, just 7500 of the Sumatran orangutan - making it a critically endangered species - and worst of all, as few as 800 of the Tappnuli orangutans survive.
 
The main cause for the decline of the orangutan populations is deforestation, due to the massive expansion of palm oil plantations in Borneo and Sumatra. You’ll find palm oil in many packaged foods, detergents, shampoos and toothpaste. We don’t often like to get up on our soapbox, but there are alternatives, so do try and look at the ingredients of your shopping and try to find an option without palm oil. We can all make a difference. 
 
The perfect gift for any conservationist or orangutan fan, this monkey necklace is available in sterling silver, yellow or rose gold vermeil. We can also cast your orangutan in solid gold, in a variety of carats, if a real gold monkey necklace is what you’d really like.  
 
£20 of the sale of every orangutan necklace sold will be donated to Ovaid, a charity dedicated to providing veterinary equipment, medicines and sending vets to orangutan rescue groups and centres in Indonesia and Malaysia. Ovaid and other charities vastly improve the outlook for these wonderful creatures, so hats off to them.  
 
A statement piece to wear with pride, your orangutan necklace not only celebrates these super special animals, but also includes a donation to a charity that is helping to safeguard their future. It’s a win-win in the style stakes and the fight against extinction.
