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.

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 our supplier's multi-generational Louisiana alligator-processing business and then assembled and finished by our supplier 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.

From the Cupboard

Every piece you find here has a story behind it.
Some are gathered. Some are created. Some simply find their way here—when they’re meant to.

Nothing is mass-produced to fill shelves. Everything is chosen with intention, meant to feel like a discovery—not just another purchase.

What’s inside the cupboard is always changing. If something catches your eye, it’s worth holding onto—because once it’s gone, it may not return the same way again.

⏳ HOWEVER YOU CHOOSE TO claim it... don’t wait too long.

Not everything here is meant for everyone.

But the right piece has a way of finding the right person.

Curated, Not Mass Made

Each item is chosen for its story, character, and charm—not to fill a shelf. Every piece arrives with intention, never by accident.

Always Changing

The cupboard evolves constantly. What’s here today may be gone tomorrow, so every visit is a little adventure—discover something unexpected each time.
