Description

Description
The smaller pair. Locally harvested opossum ribs wire wrapped in copper, sized to sit close rather than swing, which is the version for people who want bone jewelry that does not start a conversation.

The opossum survives by being not worth the trouble, and that is a real strategy rather than a failure of nerve. It has fifty teeth, more than any other land mammal in North America, and it shows them first; the collapse only comes when the warning does not work. Small and armed and mostly left alone.

Practitioners work it for strategy, for resourcefulness with whatever is at hand, and for surviving by declining to escalate.

How to Wear It

  • The subtler pair. They sit close and read as texture from across a room.
  • Bone is porous. Keep them dry and away from perfume.
  • Good for anyone easing into bone jewelry rather than announcing it.

Wear It With
See the larger pair, the Opossum tooth pendant and browse bone jewelry.

Locally harvested opossum bone from a ten acre property in Texas, wire wrapped in copper. Every rib differs, so no two pairs match.
