I didn't pick it up from ebay, Im well aware of fakes as I collect a lot of canine bones and parts. I got it from Zhon on deviantart.

She deals with a lot of wolf items, and also got a wolf claw from her. The tooth isn't one of the main canines, hence its smaller size.

Apparantly, most the 'Tibetan wolf teeth' actually come from dogs as a side product of the meat industry DX
Also, Ziggy, did you have to sign any papers or anything to receive the wolf teeth? I thought it was illegal to important wolf stuff to the UK, but I'm really not sure.

I also have to mention I do find that a little patronising :/ I know you probably didn't mean it like that but I have been involved in collecting teeth and claws for a long time and are very careful where I obtain them. Basically put, Im not that clueless.
. I know a lot of stupid people just get bulk coyote teeth or carved bone from ebay, I've seen them cheap on there, but I only buy from trusted sources where I can be sure they are genuine wolf teeth as I use them in spiritual work so they have to be wolf.

Wow, I thought it was a Dominic Elvin piece from the thumbnail. Looks as though it was fun to make. :)
I've got some teeth I want made into a necklace, but I haven't found anyone willing to do it for me (as a commission; by 'do it for me' I don't mean I expect free jewellery). I might just try doing what you did instead.

Nice work. The wrapping is very nice. One tiny critique, either use a black or blue background for your photos next time if you can. That background is way too busy to show off the necklace properly. (it took me a dog's age to get the whole background thing right so I speak from experience)
