Here's a belt buckle of gem bone and solid gold my old-timer pal made many years ago. The center is gem petrified wood.

Man, THAT is sweet! Those bones are super gemmy. Don't see much of it anymore. Beautiful work, too!

That's a beauty! I'm thinking of all the cab fitting that went into that piece, amazing craftsmanship. But I bet with all that gold, it must be a little heavy to wear.

Nice stuff. Beautiful stones and nice workmanship. I really like the blue piece. I don't believe I've ever heard of a solid gold belt buckle. I Love dino bone. Just worked a little this weekend that was nicer than I thought. I've recently joined a FB group called The Boneyard. It's all dino bone and pet wood. I drool on my computer a lot while there!
