Bring a bit of magic and macabre into your wardrobe with these bird claw inspired talon pendants from Talonalia. These creepy cool jewelry pieces make a bold fashion statement. They’d darken up a sweet and feminine outfit or add a tough guy feel to any rocker look. The Talonalia bird claw pendants are solid brass, cast from molds made from the claws of real birds. (The folks at PETA will surely be in an uproar when they find out.)
