Description - There is no way you will not like this necklace.  The tooth is beautiful and the river beads really help set it off.  The gray/blue blade is very nice, with VERY little damage/smoothing of the tip and blade edges.  The root also, is in nice condition, with just a little separation of the root and blade, noticeable at the edges (very solid tooth).  The very slight leftward hook/angle to the blade also makes it unique.  NOTE - This tooth has slightly more blue hue than most of the gray/blue's that come from this fossil location.

There is something you need to understand about this necklace.  It's a quality piece of jewelry, but it's intended to look "rustic".  Notice that instead of featuring precious metals, the necklace features heavy cord, clay River Beads and a millions year old fossil shark tooth.  It would be right at home on the beach, on a fossil hunting trip or at a Biker Rally, but you probably wouldn't see many at church, an opera or a fancy dinner.  Then again, who knows?

To better understand how the cord adjusts, look at the photo below.  Those are VERY secure knots.  You can lengthen the necklace by sliding the knots closer together.  This can be easily done, by grabbing each side of the necklace ("single cord" sections) and pulling apart.  Don't let the knots touch though, or you'll need Needle-Nose Pliers to separate them again.  To shorten the necklace, grab both knots and slide them away form each other (creating more "doubled cord").  When maximally shortened, almost the entire cord will be double and the knots will be visible near the beads/pendant, which may actually add to the rugged look of the necklace.  The benefit of the adjustability is that you can make the tooth hang on your chest exactly where you want, which may be different, depending on what you're wearing.
