(internal #G183-27) Excellent specimens of genuine, modern alligator tooth earrings. Teeth are 3/4" long on gold tone hypoallergenic French wires. Gators have three sets of teeth that fit inside each other, like Tupperware, that's why they're hollow. Makes a great gift, even to yourself! Check our other gator auctions for a matching necklace! Gators are controlled by government issued permits in Louisiana. The hides are sold for leather products, the meat is eaten locally or prepared as jerky, the guts go into the cat and dog food industry ("animal byproducts") and the heads and feet (freeze dried and coated in polyurethane) and teeth are sold to commercial stores so 100% of the animal is recycled. Gators have three sets of teeth, one inside the other (like Tupperware) that's why they're hollow; teeth are shed periodically. - Click on my Store tag for similar items.
