German term or phrase: Grandeln
***Grandelschmuck***

***Grandeln*** ist die waidmännische Bezeichnung für die nicht ausgebildeten Eckzähne vom Rotwild, vor allem von Hirschen. Sie werden als Jagdtrophäen schon seit der Jungsteinzeit zu Schmuck verarbeitet. Als Verzierungen kommen häufig Eichenlaub und Eicheln zur Anwendung.

Collier, Armreif, Brosche und Ohrringe gearbeitet in 585er Gelbgold. Die Hirsch-Grandeln sind gefasst wie der Fruchtstand der Eiche und dekoriert mit in Gold ausgearbeiteten Eichenblättern. Alle Stücke werden aufgrund der individuellen Einpassung der einzelnen ***Grandeln*** in Handarbeit gefertigt.
