Mekong Delta Collection

For centuries Vietnamese people have made jewelry from water buffalo horn to commemorate their buffalo. For Vietnamese farmers, the buffalo isn’t just a work animal—it’s a beloved family member, supporting the family in the rice paddies through long days and years. When the buffalo dies, it’s a natural cycle for every part of the animal to be honored and upcycled, with the horns often becoming keepsakes that hold sentimental value, displayed in the family’s religious corner of the house.
