Raven Claw Necklace

www.etsy.com/listing/83254262/raven-claw-pendant

 

This raptorial pendant carries all of the fine natural detail of a carrion crow claw, which looks exactly like a raven claw, but which is much smaller. Even so, the crow claw seems to be the biggest one can wear as jewelry.

 

I cast all my pieces in solid brass to be worn as a bold and earthy statement piece. The talons are sharp, although I took off the very sharpness. An almost scary pendant, but cool.

 

From base to the tip of the longest talon, the pendant measures 2 1/2" (58mm), the widest part of the pendant when worn to the side is about 1 1/2" (36mm), it rests about half an inch high on the chest when worn this way. The pendant weighs 22 grams which is nice heavy weight without being too heavy.
