Looking for suggestions on what to do with the floating bones of my leopard.
I made a necklace from one of the dew claws which came out really nice.

I had mine made into a neckless for my Granddaughter. It is too large now but she will grow into it. She is only 6. I like to give these type of gifts as they are really something unique. I treasure them (bones) and I hope she will also some day.

I had mine made into a simple necklace that can be worn by a man or female.



Good Hunting,

Here are my lion and leopard floating bones. I had Madelyn Kay (she exhibits at the SCI convention and is located in California) do them. I got the Tanzanite in Tanzania and incorporated that into my leopard.

I had casts made of my lion's floating bones and then had them cast in pure silver. I have yet to do anything with the leopard's floating bones, although I now have some great ideas from the pics posted!

Cambanos & Son in Johannesburg also designs and produces floating bone jewlery. Contact Vincent or Amanda and they can email pictures of some designs.

I have a necklace made for some one of the women in my life every time I harvest a cat.

I like dew claw pendants for myself, but I find that women really appreciate the floating bones once they're backed with gold.


When you get bored with life, start hunting dangerous game with a handgun.
