Our Crow Claw necklace in oxidized bronze. ★Here's the claw in Sterling silver - https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/937218168★
Don't be fooled, a crow's foot is quite a thing. Large, powerful, and tipped with a set of talons that have struck fear into the mini hearts of mice the world over. Cast from a real claw, this solid bronze crow claw necklace captures every tiny detail of nature's original. Even the foot pads on the underside of the foot are as lifelike as they were when this bird was still strutting this mortal coil. We then apply a patina to darken the bronze - this not only adds more contrast to the claw but also makes it incredibly lifelike.
The crow claw measures just over 2" from top to tip and 1 1/4" across the talons, and it hangs from a carefully considered jump ring that balances the claw perfectly. The claw is cast in the finest bronze, and finished and polished entirely by hand. Like all Lost Apostle jewelry the claw is protected against tarnishing.
The crow claw comes on your choice of chain or leather - all leather necklaces are adjustable and come with our signature Lost Apostle clasp.
A crow claw is not something you come across every day. The crows that own them are generally in daily need of the things, and every bit as unwilling to give them up as you'd expect them to be. They're important to a crow. And so I had to wait. And wait.
And wait.
Finally, a few years ago, shortly after the wet, cold winter subsided and the first bit of warmth crept back into the hills around Vancouver, a friend of mine came across a volunteer who'd turned up his toes so to speak. Gone, but not forgotten - as one crow flew off into the Great Unknown, so I immortalized his spectacular claw.
