PalmerFloating bone jeweler?
Anyone have a recommendation for a jeweler to make a floating bone necklace? I am thinking of using the lion and leopard floating bones along with a lions tooth.

rockPalmer - get ahold of Dick or Ann Koskovich. They are in Homer, Alaska and you can find their website at
www.koskovich.com phone number is 907-235-3846.
They did my lion floating bones and a claw pendant and did absolutely superb work. They are also at the SCI show every year. Hope this helps.

Use Enough GunCan or will any of you post some photos of the same? I have a real nice set of my lion's floating bones, one in gold and one in silver and would like to see what others have actually done with theirs. Thanks in advance.

rockI don't have any pictures unfortunately but Dick did a custom deal for me where he took the 2 floating bones and made them into 2 separate necklaces (one for wife, one for daughter). He polished them, did gold aorund the edges and embedded a small birthstone for each of them towards the end. He balanced them perfectly so that hang straight which is also a challenge!
They came out awesome and made me very popular...

RobertJrI second the review of Gregory Appleby's lion and leopard bone jewelry. He sends a CD as well as the web site for past options. He does great creative one of a kind work as well. He will be at the shows I believe again this year.

David WAnother vote for Dick Koskovich. He's done several jobs for me with floating bones and claws and does excellent work. Good guy to work with too.

David CulpepperHere is a picture of the necklace Gregory Appleby did for me. It is very simply done, just incased in gold all round except on front with a black rubber necklace. I did not want something very fancy, just to show off the bones.
