"Wearable Conservation from the Heart of the Everglades"
This isn't just a necklace; it’s a piece of Florida’s prehistoric soul. Handcrafted from 13 genuine American Alligator scutes, this statement piece tells a story of resilience, sun-drenched banks, and the delicate balance of our local ecosystem.
🌿 The Story Behind the Piece
At Bone Boutique, we believe in honoring every part of the animal. These scutes were ethically reclaimed from Florida’s roadsides or donated by local hunters who share our respect for the "King of the Swamp." By repurposing these incredible structures, we ensure that the life of the animal is celebrated rather than forgotten.
☀️ Nature’s Solar Panels: An Educational Marvel
Did you know that an alligator’s scutes are more than just armor? These bony plates (osteoderms) act as the animal's solar panels. Packed with blood vessels, the scutes soak up the Florida sun, heating the blood as it flows underneath and pumping warmth throughout the alligator's body.
When you wear this piece, you are wearing the very tools nature designed to capture the energy of the sun.
✨ Craftsmanship & Versatility
Quantity: 13 hand-selected, cleaned, and preserved alligator scutes.
Cord: Strung on premium, durable 100% pure leather.
Adjustable Fit: Designed for comfort and style. Features an adjustable sliding knot that expands to a maximum of 44 inches and can be tightened to a minimum of 30 inches.
The Perfect Souvenir: Whether you are a local or a visitor, this is an authentic piece of Florida history to carry with you.
🐊 Why You’ll Love It
This necklace is bold, tactile, and deeply connected to the earth. It’s a conversation starter that invites you to share the story of Florida's most iconic reptile. By purchasing this piece, you are supporting Wearable Conservation—turning tragedy into tribute and education into art.
Note: Each scute is unique, shaped by the life and experiences of the alligator it belonged to. Your necklace is a one-of-a-kind original.
