Do you wear jewels made from animals?

In India people wear rings and sometimes bangles made out of the hairs found in the tail of elephants, which are very strong and resemble plastic. It is believed that people who adorn jewelery made from hair of elephant's tail will be very strong and brave like an elephant. Likewise the nails of lion are also used as a pendant.
Do you know of any other parts of animals being used as a jewelery? Do you have any such jewelery with you?

well I like pearls, and they come from oysters.
and I also have a leopards fang pendant. my husband has a mathing one. they were made from the teeth of a very battered leopard rug from a leopard his great grandad shot.
and make a much nicer heirloom than a battered pelt
