Was luck to get an elk last year, looking to have two charm bracelets made for my girls.

Any suggestions on where to send them?

Ask local, down town jeweler if they can do it.
I've had local jeweler make a couple of necklaces and two pair of ear rings from bird point arrowheads and small heart shaped stone.
I ask if he could do it, and he said yes, what did you have in mind. He sketched some designs in front of me until I approved.
Wife loved 'em.

Edna Harper in Coyote New Mexico has worked with elk Jewelry for many years and does some beautiful work. Having said that she got very, very sick last year, so I don't know if she has recovered enough to work yet or not. If she has I am sure her and husband Mark could use the business. Great folks.

There are a ton of jewelers out west that specialize in elk ivory pieces.

But I have had a number of pieces made by my local jeweler. The local guy will come up with something that is WAY different than the standard settings that the specialists crank out. And you don't have the expense of shipping stuff (and insuring it) back and forth to the intermountain west.

Yep Tendertoes does a lot of craft stuff.
