scapula, clavicle, manubrium necklace | sterling silver
The three bones that make the shoulder a marvel of human engineering. A few millimetres of clavicle separate your arm from falling loose, and the scapula suspends from muscle alone. Wear them and feel how much your shoulder is actually being held together by geometry and tension.
The Anatomy of the Pectoral Girdle
The shoulder girdle consists of the scapula, clavicle, and sternal manubrium. The clavicle is the only bony connection between the upper limb and the thorax, articulating at the sternoclavicular joint medially and the acromioclavicular joint laterally with the scapula's acromion. The scapula is a flat triangular bone suspended by muscles on the posterior thoracic wall, its glenoid fossa forming the glenohumeral joint (the most mobile joint in the human body). The manubrium is the upper third of the sternum and anchors the first two ribs and both clavicles. Together they form the skeletal architecture that allows you to raise your arm overhead and rotate your shoulder through its enormous range of motion.

FAQ
Who is this piece for?
Shoulder surgeons, physiotherapists specializing in rotator cuff pathology, anatomists, and anyone interested in how the shoulder achieves both stability and mobility. This pendant speaks to people who understand the shoulder complex.
Why does the shoulder fail so often?
The glenohumeral joint trades stability for mobility. The glenoid is small and shallow compared to the femoral head, so the rotator cuff muscles provide most of the stability. This design allows enormous range of motion but leaves the joint vulnerable to overuse, impingement, and tears. It's a trade-off written into the skeleton.
What material and chain length?
33 mm sterling silver pendant on a 45 cm sterling silver chain with 5 cm extender. 925 polished sterling silver, nickel-free and hypoallergenic. Ships free worldwide via DHL Express in 1-5 business days. Comes in a ready-to-gift jewelry box with the 30-day “Love It or Return It” policy.
Is this available in gold?
