Each of the pendants has a small hole drilled at one end for attaching to a hoop or thong, or perhaps for sewing to the cuff of a glove. Some of the pendants are carved at the opposite end to resemble the tail of a fish. The other pendants have plain ends. More information here: http://www.inuvialuitlivinghistory.ca/item_types/13: Bracelets made from copper, brass or iron wire were commonly worn by women in the Western Arctic, and sometimes several were worn on the same wrist. Bone, antler and ivory pendants sewn around the cuffs of gloves also formed a type of bracelet.
