Arden Rose

Bronze, Peacock Feathers, Swarovski Crystal

2 1/2” long (3” drop length) x 1/2” wide

I bicycle the foothills of Colorado, where in the early mornings, it is not unusual for me to glimpse a Bobcat loping along the brush. I purchased real Bobcat claws at a trading post in Custer, South Dakota, several years ago, while on a biking trip. I’ve wondered what to do with them, but didn’t want to lose them to one piece of jewelry. Now that I’m learning how to sand cast, I get to keep the claws, and use them in multiple pieces of jewelry.
