Description I made this for my youngest brother who will be flying in tomarrow. When my sister asked what he wanted for his birthday he stated he wanted to go back to the village and hunt..lol. So he will be staying with us for the weekend.

This claw is from the polar bear my other half caught. It's small, but a beautiful deep amber color. I wanted to make it more "young" so I kept it clean and simple. I textured the silver band to get more contrast in the materials. I rather like how it turned out.

Sorry the picture is not that great, I hve to hide it before he gets here, but wanted to show you all what I did!

Made using a polar bear claw, walrus ivory, and sterling silver.

Questions about my materials? read: [link]

Thank you all for looking!

I am also working on a HUGE claw at the moment and will post it as soon as it gets done!

Beautiful. I really like your method of attachment to the leather. This gives me an idea for resolving an unwanted hole present in a gorgeous piece of turquoise that I have. Thanks!

I'm SO jealous. So so so jealous and I know your brother will love this so much, I just know.

I suppose polar bear claws are hard to come by huh?

Thanks!

They are hard to come by cause we don't normally hunt polar bears.....it's a chance kind of thing
