Title: Elk ivory
Post by: The100Road on December 23, 2021, 08:10:05 PM: Pretty happy how these elk calls turned out. Customer request. He sent me the teeth. Bands are made from 18 gauge sterling silver.

Thanks man! I think I’d sell more if they weren’t so expensive. Haha. It’s more a sentimental heirloom thing. These sold for $175 each. I got quotes as high as $400 to make the bands for me. So $175 is the best I can do with my current jewelry maker.

But yeah, I think they came out awesome.

Thank you! I’ll post a picture of the back of the band shortly. The jeweler sent me a few options and I told her let’s go with something that resembles mountains. I think she nailed it. Customer also requested a matte finish on the bands but I think she can polish them and make shinny if we wanted.

Yes, I can make more. Send me a pm and we can work out the details. Thanks for the interest!

I've set Ivories into acrylic on knife handles, slightly limits the design possibilities, but they come out really cool.

(Just getting into tig welding so there might be stainless wire settings in the future too...)
