Each item inside Mrs. Bones Curio Cupboard is selected with intention—never ordinary, never without a story.

Wear a Little Piece of the Louisiana Bayou
This is definitely not your ordinary necklace.
Handcrafted in Cut Off, Louisiana, this wonderfully unusual necklace features a genuine preserved alligator paw suspended from a sturdy adjustable cord. Equal parts jewelry, natural-history curiosity and conversation piece, it's exactly the sort of adornment you'd expect to find lurking inside Mrs. Bones Curio Cupboard.
Each paw retains its natural scales, texture and claws, creating a striking piece for lovers of oddities, Bayou Gothic style, natural-history specimens and jewelry that refuses to blend in.
Genuine Alligator Paw
Because every paw is a genuine natural specimen, no two necklaces will ever be exactly alike. Expect natural variations in:
- Paw size and shape
- Scale pattern and texture
- Claw size and appearance
- Natural coloration and markings
These variations aren't flaws—they're part of what makes each necklace completely unique.
Handcrafted in Louisiana
The preserved alligator paw is sourced through the maker's family's Louisiana alligator-processing business and then assembled and finished by Pitres Handcrafted in Cut Off, Louisiana.
The necklace is finished with a sturdy adjustable cord, making this unusual natural specimen into a wearable piece of Louisiana craftsmanship.
