Echidna Quill Necklace | Handmade Palawa Design

This echidna quill pendant from Palawa artist and jewellery maker, Jeanetter James, features a sustainably sourced echidna quill, carefully mounted in sterling silver and suspended from an adjustable leather strap. The restrained design allows the natural form and texture of the quill to remain the focus, with the silver setting providing durability and a refined finish.

Each quill is naturally unique, resulting in subtle variations in colour, length, and surface texture. The simple pendant style highlights the material itself rather than ornamentation, making the necklace suitable for everyday wear or as a meaningful Australian-made gift.

This piece reflects an approach to jewellery that values material integrity, sustainability, and Australian fauna, aligning with the Australian Museum’s commitment to education, ethical sourcing, and respect for the natural world.
