Each item inside Mrs. Bones Curio Cupboard is selected with intention—never ordinary, never without a story.
Some are handcrafted. Some are discovered. All are chosen to bring a little intrigue, beauty, or curiosity into your world.
Straight From the Bayou — With a Little Extra Style
A genuine alligator paw was already unusual enough. Then Louisiana decided it needed jewelry.
Handcrafted in Cut Off, Louisiana, this striking necklace features a genuine preserved alligator paw suspended from a durable black cord and accented with natural wood and silver-tone beads. The additional detailing gives this piece a more finished, elevated look while keeping all the wonderfully strange character of the original natural specimen.
It's part statement necklace, part natural-history curiosity and entirely at home among lovers of oddities, Southern Gothic style, Bayou culture and unconventional jewelry.
Genuine Alligator Paw
The centerpiece of each necklace is a real preserved Louisiana alligator paw, complete with its natural scales, texture and claws.
Because these are genuine natural specimens, each necklace will vary slightly in:
- Paw size and shape
- Scale pattern and texture
- Claw size and appearance
- Natural coloration and markings
No two will be exactly alike—and that's precisely the point.
Premium Beaded Design
This upgraded design pairs the genuine alligator paw with a black cord, natural wood accents and silver-tone beads, creating a more detailed statement piece than the maker's classic cord-style paw necklace.
Handcrafted in Louisiana
Each necklace is handcrafted by Pitres Handcrafted in Cut Off, Louisiana, using professionally preserved alligator material and individually assembled jewelry components.
