Water bufallo (Bubalus bubalis) inhabiting Asia among other countries, thought to be an equivalent of our cow ;) Not a single animal died or has been hurt in order to acquire the material for our jewellery.
Buffalo bone sculpture is an art cultivated for many generations on the islands of Indonesia, however, the only reason for killing animals is the need to feed local population.
It is a natural material, completely assimilable and safe for our body. Horns are the equivalent of nails and hair. Similarly to human fingernails they contain creatine which body accepts not producing an unpleasant odour.
Natural materials partially absorb water and let fresh piercings breathe more freely, hence preserving high hygiene standards.
