These custom beads are naturally hollow and made for the toebones of Alaska Timber wolves. The ends are silver banded and usually hand stamped with a design like wolftracks . the banding is not only decorative but ensures the bone will not split. This is a nice item to go with claw necklaces or to have something different- some 'wolf energy' in the piece etc. Sold in matched pairs. $8 a pair
I have a bead making machine that cuts stone. I have made opal agate petrified wood etc. Usually as a special order as I do not use them in my own work
Sold by the strand or by the individual bead. Fossil walrus ivory or mammoth ivory about $4 a bead for hand made large not done on a lathe about 35 beads a strand or use a few for accent
Fossil walrus ivory silver and copper hand made bead- a grayling fish $80
These are hand made. and look lot like ivory but lighter in weight. Works well with claws as this is form the herbivore that the predictor feeds on (for that connection in the necklace) and has a nice earthy look to it and of coarse is natural. $1 a bead
These are lathe made beads (factory turned) for less $ These are about $50 a strand depending on size beads selected and quality of ivory and work
I have some antique elephant ivory beads I got on a trade. These are already made up with silver claps and look nice with a claw or natural stone (or most any of my style or earthy looking pendants ) $20

When it comes to my beads keep some things in mind. I am in a somewhat remote village in Alaska. I have 'tons' of beads for my own use I can offer - but the price is often cost prohibitive because of shipping- and competition. I had to ship them here then cover cost of shipping to you. So it is much better to think in terms of what is here in Alaska as the source. Or that I make myself. I have no intention of competing with China. So think in terms of my wolf bone beads, handmade opal beads, moose antler beads, handmade mammoth ivory beads maybe jade beads, 'stuff' that is again, from Alaska that I am the source of.
Opal beads hand made Gilson opal. Choose the exact bead wanted . A B opal4 611 is the order code if inquiring.
