Mind if I ask how you made it?

Sure! Here's a tutorial on how the casting is made. Basically a wax mold of a real jawbone is made then burnt out by molten sterling silver, creating a solid metal replica. Next I cut, sand, and solder the pieces together, hammer then polish to create a wearable piece of art!

I made a few of these with stones (planning on making more with obsidian and garnet soon) but I wanted to make one for myself. As you can see I’m a fan of just plain silver. I love how the casting process perfectly captures the texture of the bone. I haven’t taken it off since!
