A prehistoric cave bear tooth about 40,000 years old capped with opal- such an item can be used by another craft person to make a awesome necklace
A carved opal bear from opal
Many of my art pieces are one of a kind and because of this are hard to deal with . They are not in a catalog- and can not be reordered. Like the one of a kind huge fossil tooth above- there are only so many of them to be found in the world! I do however have what I call a 'product line'. These are items that I can sell as many as you want- like my castings and common items like lynx and wolf claws or crystals with caps. In general I 'keystone' - wholesale is usually half of the usual asking retail. I usually expect you to buy more then one of something or spend a hundred $ or so to qualify unless we do a trial sample deal.
I'm known as the 'tooth claw fossil guy' so this is what I specialize in the most. next to that I handle a lot of crystals and cut stones. I sell and make more necklaces then anything else but do make buckles- hair pieces rings and jewelry boxes and display pieces knives and more.
Cast claw series
.
This is a product line based on cast claws. I offer wolf- lynx lion bear and eagle (the most popular) Often 'the real' is not legal and or presents an environmental controversy. A cast claw is a way to have a claw that is cast from a real one. In this series of claws I want to work with my usual '3 metals' theme. So I want to have 3 colors- copper brass and silver - though cheaper claws can be had in just one metal. I want to put some sort of symbol on the claw - a wolf a bear on top of the claw and I want the bone part of the claw to be a different metal.
I have over 100 moulds to choose from but 5-6 are the most used and most popular. The animal series of wolf bear are popular. the bird series of eagle songbird and puffin and a flower of some kind are popular put these custom caps on wolf and lynx claws and teeth- fossil walrus ivory beach broken natural chips and crystals- all of which I can come with in enough quantity to fill orders. I can of coarse cap anything and cap custom cut stones - fossils - shell- but they become one of a kind custom and not offered by the hundred or the dozen.
eagle head rabbit songbird owl
The above ivory chips are examples of custom casts The are all the same price and can be made up to fill your order. I have at least 100 moulds and combinations of designs all in copper brass nickel silver or gold -so inquire about choices. I can email pictures. Caps can be mixed or specify a bird or animal. Larger sterling silver caps might cost more but in general they are all wholesale $20.
wolf tooth caps above have various related themes bear all sorts of wolves - eagle. The wolf is most popular either howling- the pup or the wolf head. All cast to fit each tooth Usually 2 metals - a base color and a separate animal color. All the same price $30 wholesale
Custom caps vary in theme and type of metal to where I have hundreds of choices to offer. These are examples. If you want more choices I may be able to easily od is from inventory on hand but if not your order becomes a special order and might cost more. Factors in price will depend on my avialbility on hand, how many you want, when you need it by etc.
This is a 'dragon' series of pendants (left) all with a gemstone of some sort. The farthest right one is sterling silver. Any in brass as the 2 left ones are- as you see them wholesale for $12 Add $5 for sterling
All these have a loop on the back to hang them from and all are sterling silver copper and brass mixed with opal in a setting. These designs can be ordered as stick pins. These wholesale for $45
My casting- in general is low production each the same but different- allowing for adaptability and allowing to fill special requests. I can only turn out about 20 a day under full production. One advantage is I could make a mould and include your logo - name- slogan symbol of any kind and incorporate it in any of these items (if design allows) There would be a one time make a original mould fee (about $50 depending on size and complication). There is another fee if I have to design carve something but it might be worth it. Production after that cost me the same if it is your design or mine.
I have other art for sale- and all is offered wholesale but is more 'one of a kind' or special order. If you want to see these items click below

All prices quoted on this page are wholesale. Suggested retail would be double retail. Retail value can vary with your business location and what part of the world you are in- type of customers you get.My work tends to be 'different' in that as far as I know I'm the only one offering these products- even my 'cast assembly line' attempt is pretty individual with lots of custom options. Because of this-- prices can vary by more then 100% . All pendants come with a free chain - request silver or gold color. A black or turquoise silk cord is offered as a substitute that is 'stronger'. Expensive items would require a separate nice chain you or your customer needs to supply. Since I live remote I can not compete in the chain market. I can supply brochures about the artist, pictures to help with a display but not gift boxes -as with chains - it doesn't make sense for me to pay shipping to Alaska and shipping back to civilization. You have better access then I do to such standard items and I want to keep the price down. (for both of us). My book is an item that fits in well with my art on display. I do not just sell art- but a way of life- and the art is one medium used to speak of a lifestyle- but another medium is the written work- the book. The book is a way to say "Here is the artist- how he lives- what he believes in- where he gets his material how he does his work" 'Going Wild' is a high adventure Alaska wilderness survival story- and helps authenticate my work. I know what this material and subject is _ I live it. I have brochures, copies of news articles pictures etc for displays- inquire when you order.

These are all my various cast items of silver copper brass custom made from my own moulds are small production runs but can be offered in quantity and reordered easily.
Casting is my newest thing and is changing by the week. I have about 200 designs. Eventually I will figure out the best ones and cut costs down on the selected designs and offer a product line at a lower cost then my close to custom work offered now. Some designs are available -inquire --unsure now where to list them (to busy right now) but for sure a lynx claw capped with either a wolf or a lynx at a third what it would have cost a year ago.
