Tribal Coyote Tooth Necklace Carved Conch Sea Shell Pendant Ethnic Jewelry with Turquoise

Here is a Dream Inspired Ethnic Tribal Native American Tribal Coyote Tooth necklace featuring a Carved Conch Shell Coyote Claw pendant from Doyle.

This piece has it all...Mother of Pearl multi colored Heishi, Mother of Pearl tube and chip beads combine in interesting free flowing layers to give a truly ancient tribal feel to the piece.

Doyle woke up one morning and without so much as a word or breakfast, made himself and cup of coffee and went straight away to his outside bench next to the Black river and began to carve this beautiful dream inspired Conch pendant.

After he finished it I knew right away how the necklace that framed it would look and it all came together as if special ordered directly from the past. our work is easy when we can be whispered to by peoples who want their creations reborn to be worn again in this time, all we have to do is Keep a Clean Heart and a Right Spirit and the ideas spring forth unbidden.

We are proud to be able to offer this fine Regalia Necklace on our Etsy site and the link to see it if you are so inclined is HERE

Making Shell Flowers - Creating a Pearl and Shell Flower Necklace

Purchased pendants upper right of table

I am very excited to have stumbled into a great new way to make Shell Flowers on my jewelry that is exciting and original to me!

I have decided to focus on neutral colored shell and pearl jewelry but in the course of creating such items I have found something I not only enjoy doing but am having great results.

It all started when I bought some quality wire and pearl pendants from my supplier, they were nice, but not really nice enough for what I had in mind.(See photo on left, pendants are upper right corner).

wired petals

 I was also looking at some other wired shell mother of pearl petal flowers from my supplier and while they have a good product they were not very well put together and looked as if they would be flimsy and flop around.

This is undesirable in my designs, I want to know that when the necklace comes off and goes in the drawer it will come out looking as good as it went in.

So I set about making my own flowers from MOP shells making them stronger and more desirable.

Putting the petals on a split ring

Wiring the petals so they are stable.

 I wired the petals, slipped them on a ring and then wrapped the center of the petals in a wire spiral to keep them from flopping around.

I was so happy with the results I repurposed the purchased pendants by separating the center from the wired backing and then using the center of the flower on the front and the rest of the "foliage" was used as backing.

As you can see this makes a terrific flower!

NOTE: Some unscrupulous sellers on the net are using seller photos and listings from etsy on other sites claiming to be the makers and offering to make this item custom for you. Alibaba is notorious for doing this as well as many other sites.

Pearls center added on top and rest of purchased wired pendant used as backing.

While I have no objection to anyone using my processes to make jewelry similar to mine, (or I wouldn't post the tutorial), stealing pictures, descriptions and posting them as "ME" is wrong.

Always make sure if you are on a site that you are dealing with the REAL artist. Drop them a note, start a conversation and if it doesn't feel right or the price is extremely low, you are probably not dealing with the Original Artisan.

Real Designer Jewelry costs real money. I back every piece I sell, if for any reason you need repairs or are unhappy with a purchase, I will GLADLY do whatever I can to make it right.

My reputation is worth more to me than any money I could ever make on a sale.

The actual listing for my item is HERE and below is the listing description used in case you are interested in purchasing this necklace or if you want to check out my Etsy shop, I sell no where else but Etsy.

The Glorious results! Note the two other self-made pearl flowers on the left side of the necklace.

From Zero to Hero, Remaking a Sea Glass Tropical Choker Mother of Pearl Stick Beads Choker That Just Didin't Quite Cut It!

Sometimes you just have to admit defeat on a project and start over. From scratch. The necklace in the picture below was a case in point.

Sure, it looked good in theory but I made the mistake of wearing it for a day at the beach and it flopped all over the place and looked awful. I hate to admit it, being of an Artist temperament and all, but this one was a dog in practice.

The Hot Mess Itself - Bow Wow!

But what to do? It took me all of several months to come up with a design that would hold such necklaces in place properly, (I do love my bead fringes and dangle drops), but they are generally a pain in the butt to wear and not have them turn into a hot mess after a few minutes of wear.

I started by rethinking what was needed to hold elements in place, crochet seemed obvious but how to integrate two strands into the third crochet strand?

Well, I'm not giving up my secrets here, it took me many days of agonizing experiments to come up with something that would do the trick and still look good.

I've decide to make an entire line of this type of choker jewelry because it's design is authentic and new. It's just for those Gals who love their dangle beads and fringe look but don't want things sticking out all over the place at odd angles just because you bent over or breathed.

The moral of all this is: Even if you have an item in your shop that has been up for months, don't be afraid to remake it into something new. I have done this with several of my pieces now, they are being favorited left and right and soon i expect some sales to discriminating buyers who know quality and a glad to pay for it.

Anyway, here is the relisting for those interested below the link to this necklace choker in my Esty shop is HERE.

Creating Sea Shell Abalone Paua MOP Stick Bead Tribal Choker

Original design being laid out

Beautiful, but the ribbon speaks too loudly, off to the dye bath!

This is the beginning of a New Line of Jewelry I will be creating over the next several months, it features the best of crochet used to fortify and stabilize unusual combinations of shell elements that normally have a great deal of difficulty remaining in place when worn. By adding the crochet ribbon the two strands unify and the textile helps to "nestle" the beads into proper position with minimal movement, yet a limited freedom of motion still remains in motion.

This will allow me the freedom to add dangles and drops with abandon without worrying about them flipping all over the place while being worn or danced in, there is nothing worse at the Powwow than having to constantly adjust ones regalia!

Originally the ribbon was stark white but I felt it overwhelmed the design, so off the to dye bath of natural henna to tone it down and bring it back to matching instead of overpowering the piece!

I look forward to experimenting with new textiles and crochet to enhance Doyle already lovely and timeless creations, this design is so powerful I've already had my first sale because of its unique design! You can see this necklace HERE.

I will be glad to customize this necklace any way you need it to make it more your won personal taste or design a special necklace just for you! I have already done so for a customer in Tasmania!

Tribal Dentalium Chieftan Conch Sea Shell Jade Jasper Nugget Necklace w Copper

This is Doyle's and my latest collaboration, it was great fun making the dentalium shell drops using copper pins and copper rondelle spacers. This lends them great strength and will help avoid breakage. I can't wait to try making earrings this way!

I really enjoyed hand making the copper wire loops that support the pendant too, I guess wire jewelry is in my blood now!

The pendant Doyle made is based on an actual Conch Pendant  found in an Ancient Temple Mound in the Nashville area. The shell itself is a creamy pink brown that reminds me of Bavarian Chocolate!

The copper disks are actually hammered copper pennies, as was traditional for Native Americans, they had quite a tidy business in making jewelry from hammered coins.

This necklace is being offered on our Etsy site and the ad for it runs below:
