Tiger Head Enamel Necklace & Earring Set

New

Look in my NECKLACE CORD Category to Pick the Necklace Cord of Your Choice for Any Necklace You Purchase From Me.
Handcrafted Tiger Head Necklace & Earring SetThis set has the image of a Tiger head mounted on organic enamel.
The necklace and earrings are made from the organic enamel scales of a Louisiana Gar. The scales of a gar are unique in that the gar is the only fish on the planet that have scales of pure, hard, enamel, like a tooth. Indians used gar scales like these for spear points and arrowheads. Enamel is the hardest organic material on earth, much harder than bone, antler, or ivory.
I process and permanently laminate the image of the Tiger onto the scale to make a durable and permanent presentation.
The scale is mounted on a black rolled leather cord with metal beads and a lobster claw clasp, all hand crafted by me on an individual basis. I can make any length necklace you need.
The necklace is strong, lightweight, very comfortable to wear and is designed to last a lifetime. The Earwires are Sterling Silver French Hooks.
Each pendant is signed and dated by me and each one is unique and one of a kind in shape & pattern.
The average length of the scale is 1 1/2 inches.
A gift card comes with the work that has information & pictures of gar, garfish scales & the artist. .
I continually strive to create new treasures that will be enjoyed and appreciated by my customers. To see the variety of image work that I have available at present, click on this link or the “Visit Seller’s Store” link on this page.
