All of the talismans are made using bangle bracelets which are 2 3/4 inches (7 centimeters) in diameter. They vary in complexity of design and in materials. All use 100% cotton embroidery floss for the knotting, and polymer clay bones. The bones are all hand-sculpted and vary in size. Some incorporate glass beads, and others have faceted crystals. Each talisman is strung on leather cord, which can be cut to a variety of lengths (I recommend 20 inches, which is a standard necklace length). The closure can also be modified at no extra cost; options include: lobster claw, barrel closures, and spring rings (base metal). Knots have been secured using clear nail lacquer, and tailing threads will be as well.
Payment: Paypal [I'll post a link to my Paypal soon]

***I recommend purchasing earrings + talismans, multiple earrings, or multiple talismans at the same time, to save on shipping costs.
