Tooth Necklace
Filed in: DIY, Fashion, Jewelry
During our boat trip in Northern Norway I found a jaw of an otter and I picked out this tooth and kept it cause I intended to make a necklace out of it. It took some time to actually get it done, cause I needed some really small drill bits. At the market this adorable old Russian lady had just what I needed. She was so sweet and told us that she remembered me and my fiance from a couple of months ago when we bought two porcelain figurines from her. Anyway, I finally got around to drill a hole in the tooth so that I could hang it from a chain, and I´m quite pleased with the result. It feels extra special since I found the tooth myself.

I´ll take that as an extra big compliment coming from you Wendy, being in the jewelry business and all! ;)
Charlotte, I actually wanted to put the chain straight through the tooth, but the hole got too small, so I used a small ring made for jewelry making. You´ll find them at hobby shops.
