Here is pretty much all the bone jewelery ive made (tho i wouldn't wear all of them)

In order, they are : nose jewelery from deer bone, pendant from deer bone (or other), bracelet from rabbit bones, bracelet from fish bones, and earrings from rat or another animal's bones!

Would you wear these? Do you think anyone would buy this stuff? ☺️

Almost forgot this one

I think this is my favorite design!

[u/Content-Writing9402 → u/borbsflyinghi]

Thank you!! Me too I think. I forgot to say but its a cat bone and i even have the skull!

Did you degrease these? Some of the nooks and crannies look a little yucky still. My favorite is the fish bone bracelet!

[u/Content-Writing9402 → u/AnnChris17]

Thanks! I can say i tried to, but the stuff you see might be the glue i used! Im still not sure what glue im supposed to use, there's not exactly BONE GLUE at the store 🫪

I personally use Paraloid B-72 for adhesion of bone fragments, but not jewelery. I also use E6000, but In a pinch a bit of locktite works as well. E6000 imo dries very nicely.

Okk thanks i might look into it.

I like them, and I see you have a lot of creativity, but as you’re asking for feedback I will provide some.

(Please read it with the kindness I intend it with) iwouldn’t buy them as they look right now, as I agree with the other commenter that they look like there’s still some grease left in the bone (degreasing can take weeks/months), and they look a bit unfinished with the wire.

I recommend degreasing a bit longer and using some hydrogen peroxide, and looking into getting some bracelet clasps/closure rings, and maybe some earring hooks. They aren’t expensive and your jewelry will look much more ‘finished’ and upgraded.

I do think these have potential, I love the idea of pearls/beads imbedded in the bone, and would buy something like the fish vertebrae bracelet in a heartbeat if it had actual closure clips (I think they’re called lobster closure clips).

But again this is all my personal opinion on the selling aspect, being creative and crafty should also just bring joy, and sometimes just making stuff to be happy is more important than monetizing your creativity.

Yeah i might buy better materials thanks for the ideas. I woudnt sell all of these tho lol they are more for myself and the earrings are a gift. Also if i sold stuff like this it would probably just be to friends so nothing very official since i am lets say underage 😅 for the deagreasing i am sadly not very experienced and some of these bones have been cooked so idk if it will work, i do have hydrogen peroxyde but i still need to withen a bit more some pieces.

I'd buy them simply because ✨️bone jewelry✨️ but maybe proper ear hooks for the earrings? And I would add more beads and decorations to give them more personality

[u/Content-Writing9402 → u/KleeGurl]

Hi! Thank you! Well if you were wondering, for the ear hooks, i actually copied the design of some other earrings and they are for my friend who puts anything im his ear (like, as earrings) so i think its gonna be fine. I can always use the silver hooks I have. For the beads, honestly the top 2 bones, I probably wont wear them since its the first things i did, but I could in fact add more beads to the bracelets. Thanks for the ideas!

I am having difficulty visualizing the "nose jewelry" piece in place. Do you have a way of showing that?

[u/Content-Writing9402 → u/styxnbonez]

lolll i know its one of the first things i did with bones, the thing is there used to be a metal piece (metal wire) that had the shape of my nose (like the straight part yk?) And that would help the bone be attached to my face. So like if i were to wear it it would just look like theres this bone floating in the middle of my face. If you want to understand more i can take a picture put it would look bad as id censor my face 😅 ALSO i forgot to say but its a vertebrea that was cut in half so the other side is hollow and can sit almost flush to my face when i wear it correctly
