Oddity jewelry I made!

I keep some reptiles and bugs, and this is some jewelry I made from the molts of two species of tarantula (C. Versicolor full molt & L. Parahybana fangs) as well as one from the shed of a ball python. If you do something similar or keep any fun reptiles/insects I’d love to see!
