Water Buffalo Horn

A water buffalo horn is the solid, keratin-based structure that grows on the head of a water buffalo, a type of buffalo typically found in Asia, Africa, and parts of Europe. Water buffalo horns are dense and durable, making them suitable for various uses. Historically, when the water buffalo dies, the horn has been repurposed to craft tools, utensils, and weapons, or it can be polished, carved, and shaped into decorative items and artisan jewelry. In some cultures, these horns symbolize strength and resilience and are used around the home or in accessories to keep these elements close by.

Whaler’s Locker offers a wide variety of jewelry and accessories made from the water buffalo horn. Each piece is handcrafted, and the horn is sourced directly from India, so you can shop with ease knowing you are purchasing an authentic and one-of-a-kind product. These curved buffalo horns are reminiscent of the once popular tortoiseshell but are much more sustainable due to the large population of buffaloes.

Jewelry and accessories crafted from the water buffalo horn make a great purchase for yourself or a gift for a loved one because they are incredibly versatile. They can be worn daily for a rustic look or dressed up as a statement piece for your next event. Plus, you are wearing something good for the environment, and it makes for a great conversation starter!
