Inspired by the hairpipe breastplates of the Great Plains and the Northwest Plateau of North America, this piece uses small steel spacers and chainmail to emulate the beauty and strength of these precious works of art. While wearing it, you will feel the strength and protection of your ancestors coursing through your veins.

The name of the piece is Kosatiyo, from “koca”, the Bulgarian for “hair”, and “tiyo”, the Creole for “pipe”.
