Did you ever think about going a little exotic in jewelry? This is natural fossilized dinosaur bone. Each piece is different depending on what minerals are in the area it’s found.

This one is a charcoal gray with dark red spots. I paired the fossil with natural garnet to accent the dark reds and set it all in sterling silver. Yes, I’m a man that makes jewelry and my wife loves it and always has new items to wear.

We show mostly on Facebook and local crafts shows. What normally happens is our customers will come to the stand and ask my wife questions.

They’re surprised when she points them to me. I’ve even been invited to a local business woman only show. It’s all fun and we all get a giggle.
