Classy earrings, but what are they?  Porcupine quills?  Noooo---how about WALRUS WHISKERS! - YES!  Would you kiss a walrus with whiskers like these?  I don't think so!  We now have them available for sale, see below!  Here's some really cool information about how walrus use their whiskers:  

Blindfolded by ear protectors, a walrus uses its broom-stiff whiskers to distinguish between tiny shapes on a patterned panel. 

Whiskers made into earrings by Alaskan Native CHARITY BELL of Brevig Mission, Alaska.  Remember, Alaskan natives catch the walrus and use as much as humanly possible (whether it is eaten, made into functional items or art, the rest is returned to the sea), this is a very creative way.

For Walrus Ivory earrings, click here to follow the link, Opals and Ivory - page 2.

Yes, they can be used, but we're sure you'll buy them to display as they are so unusual!

Whiskers made into toothpicks by Alaskan Native CHARITY BELL of Brevig Mission, Alaska, adding genuine fur (unknown) and a scrimshaw bone bead as accents, they average 2-1/2 to 3" long.  Remember, this is an Alaskan native product as a result of legally harvesting the walrus and using 100% of it.
