Dino Jewelry

Stuff We Love
May 18, 2024

Nawbin of Traverse City is leveling up on Wilma Flintstone’s bone “pearls” with their Dino Bone carved necklaces. This is a real deal sauropod fossil—think the giant, long-necked dinos, like brachiosaurus—that has been carved to resemble a bone. The pendant measures about 1.5 inches and hangs on a waxed cord. (At the time of this writing, only two remain in stock, and needless to say it’s a limited edition!) The necklace fits right in with Nawbin’s selection of Petoskey stones, crystals, beads, and other Up North artifacts, as well as the store’s Fossil Coast design line. (They even have shirts in a “fresh asphalt” black color in cheeky homage to the ongoing roadwork.) Find the shop at 925 East Front St. in Traverse City or online at nawbin.com
