So to that end I have made a necklace by collaborating with a UK Lampworking artist Jeanette who has made me a glass “sharks tooth”. The results as you can see in the photographs are very realistic.
This is 1 of 2 necklaces. I’ve kept the first one quite simple by threading the “tooth” onto a double strand of cotton thong and adding copper spacer beads to compliment the colour of the “tooth”. The second one I have added copper wire work around the top of the tooth to give it a bit more texture.
The “tooth” measures approx 5cm in length and 1cm in diameter.

Hi @Little Harriet
Thank you for popping over to leave your comment it's much appreciated.
Yes it is difficult knowing what to make and to make it look like it's meant to be for a man. It's hard when all you want to do is use sparkle on it.

I think those look really good and very 'manly'... My husband wears a bone carved 'fish hook' design and this piece easily falls into that category... and my husband is a real 'manly man'... so its definitely guy material! :)))
Thanks Mary :) The "sharks tooth" is definately a man size bead.
