This is a necklace that I made using Elk bone my friend carved for me, he (Victor) has since passed away. The beads are 4mm round and the owl is hand carved. I used gold tone accent beads and gold tone closures on both the necklace and bracelet. The necklace is 21" long the matching bracelet is 8 1/4" long.
The bones used to make the beads were from a hunt he did once a year, because he was Native American he used every part of the animal. He would clean the bones then set them in the sun to dry before carving them. Each bead is different so no 2 beads are identical.
