Why No Carving
Mysore sandalwood is defined by what lies beneath the surface.
The dense oil content, darkened heartwood, and natural grain
are the result of long-term growth and slow maturation.
Carving would only interrupt what time has already completed.
This pendant preserves the material in its most honest form.
Texture & Presence
-
Compact structure with visible transverse grain
-
Naturally darkened tone from high oil saturation
-
Smooth, warm touch with subtle natural sheen
The scent is soft, rounded, and stable —
close to the skin, never intrusive.
How It’s Worn
Designed as a personal material object,
this pendant is worn close to the body rather than displayed outwardly.
It pairs naturally with simple clothing and neutral tones,
for those who value quiet substance over visual statement.
Care & Aging
-
Avoid prolonged exposure to water or excessive heat
-
Store in a dry, ventilated space when not worn
-
Over time, the surface may deepen in tone as oils continue to rise
Each piece carries natural variation in grain and oil pattern,
reflecting the individuality of mature Mysore sandalwood.
Some woods speak softly.
Those are the ones that last.
