It is even better in person than in the photo. Shipped fast. And the packaging was so creative. It was so cute I hated to open it.

Very sturdy and much larger than I was expecting, which is a good thing. It's a really unique necklace and I love bone jewelry. Perfect.

Had a few hiccups but the shop owner was easy to get a hold of and quick to respond! Plus the jewelry is exactly what it looks like in the pictures.

One doesn't usually think of the word 'beautiful' for jawbones, but this one is. The ore inlay is so well done it looks like it grew that way. I bought this to wear for Halloween, but it's so distinctive looking I'll probably wear it all year. Really pretty- the pictures don't do it justice!

I love the bone key. It's spooky looking and just right for Halloween. It's very sturdy and well made, and will be a favorite for years to come.

Art for the spooky at heart! We don't harm any animals in the making our jewelry It's a constant search for dead, decaying and rotting things in the woods and on the side of the road. The found gooey bits get gathered up and taken to our facilities where our helpers Lock, Shock and Barrel (3 wild turkey vultures) take care of the first part in the long process of cleaning. All bones are painstakingly cleaned, sterilized and sealed before becoming wearable art for you. We want to share these amazing structures made by nature with you. Other natural elements are used in the making of our jewelry such as fresh water pearls, gem stones, corals and more. We choose elements that are very natural looking, not perfect, because nature isn't perfect. Imperfections are the spice of life. We hope you enjoy our product as much as we enjoyed making it.
Thank you!
