How to Antique Bone
For a natural antique look, try soaking any of the white bone beads in tea, coffee or ink to simulate old ivory. Experiment with different liquids to find your preferred color(s)! Whatever antiquing method you use, be sure to wash your items well and test your antiquing for "colorfastness" before making finished jewelry.

Avg Rating: 6 /10
Approximately 56x15mm bone feather pendants, drilled sideways through top. 3-D. To hang from an ear wire, use a medium triangle bail, or a large jump ring. Handmade from camel bone. September 2021 Update: This batch is more of a dark brown or "oil rubbed bronze" finish, than our usual flat black - please see alternate photo. As the reviewer noted, they do have a bit of a metallic shimmer (but it's hard to capture in the photo).
These beads are not close to black. They are a bronze color. They also seem to be coated in metallic paint or plastic. Not at all what I was expecting based on the photo and description. - [ R&T Reply: Hi Stephanie, Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We didn't notice it in the bags, but the batch that we received from India this summer is a bit lighter than our usual flat black, and does seem to have a bit of a metallic shimmer, like Gilder's Paste. A nice effect if that's what you were looking for, but not if you you were expecting and need the classic plain black. Adding a 2nd photo now, to show the current batch's variation. ~Polly, Rings & Things ]
