Making Jewelry by Combining Bones with Other Materials
Bones can be combined with other materials in several ways to create unique jewelry pieces.
Mixing materials and processes to create a one-of-a-kind piece often involves the following crafting techniques.
Metalwork: Bones can be inlaid into metal frames or combined with metal components such as jump rings, clasps, or chains.
Wire-wrapping: Thin wire can be used to wrap around bones to create intricate patterns or designs.
Beading: Bones can be used as beads in combination with other materials, such as semi-precious stones or glass beads, to create necklaces, bracelets, or earrings.
Combining with resin: Resin can be used to preserve and enhance the natural beauty of bones, and to create unique and eye-catching pieces of jewelry.
Inlay: Bones can be inlaid into other materials, such as wood or bone, to create intricate designs or patterns.
The specific combination of materials will depend on the desired outcome or artistic preferences of the individual creating the jewelry. We encourage you to get creative and love hearing about new techniques.
