Antler Window Necklaces

A resin window in the heart of each slice of naturally-shed antler gives this collection its name; offering a window into the heart of the natural world. Resting inside each window, various treasures from the natural world are held: re-purposed North American Porcupine quills, green moss and gemstones. Imagery such as prairie grasses, mountains and Canadian Shield boulders can be found framed within the antler. 

The antler used in the window necklaces (and all pieces by Sheppards Hook) are all from natural sheds found in the forests of Manitoba where white-tailed deer thrive. The antler falls off the deer naturally, due to hormonal changes that occur in a cyclical pattern throughout the year. Antler can be found on the forest floor all year round but they are typically dropped from January to April.
