Size differences! From small to super long, what I consider ‘standard’ size dentalium, about 1”, to the middle which is long dentalium, about 1-1/4”, and the right which is super long around 1-1/2”. Notice how the small and super long are almost the same length with 3-tier vs 2-.

Shout out to ⁦@aliwatson117⁩ ⁦@igmuthankastore⁩ for an amazing necklace design. It’s hard to just string beads, but to build a balanced double loop with beads lining up and zero clasp rotation is 💜🙏

Also ⁦@EaglesElatis⁩ the hair is slowly growing out

The abalone heart gives this piece that ‘must second look’ appeal. About 5” with medium and long dentalium. $33 for the pair.

[Igmú Tȟáŋka @igmuthankastore]

@Natalia42989811 Hello! That pair is $33 and includes shipping. DM for more details? Thank you!

Gearing up for end of the month. Taking commissions for dentalium earrings, necklaces (price depends on materials), or beaded rope. Max of 4 ropes so they’re complete before the end of the month! Choose between 17” ($46) 22” ($56), 24” ($63). #BuyNative #NativeMade #LakotaMade

[Igmú Tȟáŋka @igmuthankastore]

I waver between bummed and accomplished. Because I’m reaching the last of my dentalium supply and have not been able to source more.

If you happen to know anyone who wants to part with some, send them my way! #Dentalium #Indigenous #NativeTwitter

[Igmú Tȟáŋka @igmuthankastore]

Earrings are possible depending on style. If you’re interested in a set, please DM!
