Back Ground:
I purchased elements of the Tiki necklaces from woman whose family were stationed in Africa. She was selling her families collections of various items. Some of the items used in these OOAK necklaces are handmade artifacts of bone, elks antlers, ostrich eggshell,sharks teeth, copper wire hand made into a one of a kind artifacts. I have incorporated these unique items into my necklaces.
The scarcity of these materials makes them expensive and I only able to make a certain amount. All my Tiki necklaces are one of a kind and I hand sculpted the Tiki's from polymer clay
