A Perfect Fit

Making jewelry out of antlers has been on my 

want to try list for a long time. 

Here are the 7 pieces that I managed to finish.

I have some more on my work table,

but need to get a new drill bit after breaking the one I was using. 

These ones are made from moose or caribou antler. 

 I really like that they are uneven and chunky.

I cut and shaped some reclaimed metal to make the bails, 

and connected them with a piece of brass wire that I hammered. 

I decided on using simple black cords to hang them on 

And then tried them on. 

I think they fit perfectly!
 (or just as I had imagined anyway)
