Bone tusks/claws

[doll deluxe]

Hi everyone,

I hope someone can help me as I am very stuck!  I'm trying to find handcarved bone tusks and claws with holes drilled in for jewellery making.  I know that Rings&Things do have something quite similar to what I'm looking for, but not exactly.  

The things i'm particularly after are approx 2" in length and have a glossy finish, and are very curvy.  I found a website who does exactly what I'm after, but unfortunately they are discontinuing them! I've attached the URLs of pictures of what I'm after so you guys can have a look.

I have searched the internet for days on end and have had no luck.  I live in England and it also been hard finding companies which ship to the UK.  If only all bead companies were as great as Rings&Things eh!

Has anyone any idea where I might be able to locate these items? Any help would be  much appreciated as these items are the main thing I use in my jewellery designs!

Thanks,

Zoe

Hi Zoe,

We do have a few similar items, but we no longer carry this particular style of bone pendant.  Feel free to submit this as a wish list item here: Wish List Form. We can let you know if we add it to our stock.  Or we may be able to do a special order if your quantity request is large enough (approx. 1000 pieces for most items). See: Rings & Things Special Services.

Let us know if you need anything else!!

These may be discontinued by Crazy Crow but there are similar, perhaps more realistic looking, claws sold on the powwow circuit and at trading posts. We don't have them but I think you can find them if you keep researching them.  We will check with one of Crazy Crow's Asian vendors to see if they are still available to us in the form you have been using.  The minimum order quantity may be fairly high.

Since you are in UK you should try searching for German sites that supply the American Indian reinactment groups. I'm told these folks really get into realistic looking outfits. The shipping should be less from Germany, too.

Hi guys,

Thanks for your help!  I'll try the German sites and see if I get lucky so thanks for that Russ.  If you can contact that Asian vendor that would also be great.  

I've filled out a wish list form as well so thanks for that Mary.  

I have just started selling my jewellery in shops over here in England and these bone pieces are a main part of my designs so your help is much appreciated.

I also wanted to say Russ that Rings&Things is such a great company. The people who I speak to are always so friendly and are more than happy to help me with any questions I have.  Your shipping prices are very reasonable, and that is a major issue when living in the UK.  Your stock is also great and the prices are excellent and there is never any dissapointment when receieving goods.   Rings & Things is by far and away my favourite bead company and I wish I could buy all my stock from you!  You, and everyone who works there, should be proud of it.
