Pangolin Bracelet
Pangolin Bracelet
$40.00
Pangolins are the world’s most illegally trafficked animal – poached for both traditional African medicines, known as muthi, as well as rapidly escalating demand by Asian markets for use in traditional Chinese medicine. Pangolin scales and rhino horn are both made of keratin - the same as human toenails.
South Africa is home to the little-known Temminck’s Ground Pangolin. Sadly more and more of these are being confiscated by SAPS (South African Police Services) and anti-poaching units, having being held illegally in captivity.
When they are seized from poachers, they are severely compromised – very stressed, badly malnourished and dehydrated. The rescued pangolin require round the clock, 24/7 medical care and support. The pangolin are fed with a supplementary protein feed, via a feeding tube, to try and improve their nutrition.
At night, if well enough, the pangolin are “walked” in the bush for them to find their own food supply of ants, to encourage natural feeding behaviours and dietary intake as soon as possible. Walking in the bush can take many hours every night.
When the pangolins are well enough and weigh more than 6kgs, they are released back into the wild on a designated secure reserve, ideally near to where they were seized. Each pangolin is fitted with a tracker, so their well-being and movements can be monitored remotely.

How do I care for my bracelets?
Your bracelet is waterproof, however avoid contact with other liquids such as perfumes and lotions.
Semi-precious stones vary by nature making each bracelet completely unique. Brass will naturally tarnish and patina over time due to exposure to the elements and your skin, I LOVE this natural ageing as a unique characteristic and it's one of the reasons why I love using brass.
To clean use a new, clean cloth and gently buff them clean.
We also recommend keeping your gorgeous bracelets inside the bag they arrived in, when not in use.
Is the bracelet waterproof/resistant?
Yes! Our stone and metal bracelets are waterproof, be aware that the metal components could tarnish and patina so it’s best to avoid perfumes and moisturisers.
Our wooden beads are coated but we recommend not to let them get wet as they may swell and break. This will void your 1 year warranty.
What do I do if my bracelet breaks?
We offer a 1 year warranty on all of our bracelets! If your bracelet breaks (not due to contact with liquids), please contact us through our contact page. Please be prepared to send us your first and last name, shipping address, order number, and once we respond, a picture of your damaged bracelet.
