(#G990-2) You are bidding on a genuine American alligator TOOTH, a full 2-3/4" long (measured from the top of the silver cap with a flexible ruler to the tip of the gator tooth). The tooth is capped in high quality .925 sterling, then a nickel-silver loop is added to make it a keychain. Tooth has been filled with 2 part epoxy to make it solid so it is very durable. This is exactly the item you would receive. An awesome conversation piece to use. Great weird thing for that special someone! Species: AMERICAN ALLIGATOR (Alligator Mississippiensis). These teeth come from Louisiana. Gators have three sets of teeth that fit inside each other, like Tupperware, that's why they're hollow. Genuine American Alligator parts jewelry, entirely made in the USA. The American Alligator is monitored by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and CITES, in an effort to manage the wild and farm grown populations of this species. Licenses are issued to farming operations to legally buy eggs to raise alligators for food & hides. The heads, feet and teeth, etc. that would normally be thrown away are now made into collectible jewelry and souvenir items you can own, as a way to 100% recycle the entire animal.
