Genuine Louisiana Alligator Foot Claw Taxidermy Necklace on Black Braided Leather Straps. You'll notice there are similar cheaper necklaces being sold, but when you pierce the claw and toe itself, it takes away from the uniqueness of the item, and renders it unlucky. Ours are expertly crafted with Copper Wire then carefully with minimal invasive parts, the 0.5mm wire shank is placed in a pre-drilled hole with special adhesive, leaving only the loop exposed for purpose of hanging on a leather braided necklace. These alligator foot claw necklace on black braided leather strap are made with alligator feet measuring approximately 2-1/2 inches in length. The gator foot necklaces are 17.5 inch and are perfect for gator football fans, and beach gift shops selling vacation jewelry, weird and unusual items, alligator products, and gator gift. The alligator feet are not pierced nor have holes been drilled in the claw as most other crafters do which ruins the mystical and magical powers of the claw itself. Alligators are found lurking in the swamps and marshes of the southern states of United States. Especially in the states of Florida and Louisiana. The word alligator originated from the Spanish word “el lagarto” which means a lizard.
