Our Life Stream ancient mammoth ivory earrings take their winding waterway motifs from the natural spiral patterns found in nature and set them against a richly hued background.
Handmade Silver Mammoth Ivory Necklace - Life Stream II
"When you sit in silence long enough, you learn that silence has a motion. It glides over you without shape or form, exactly like water. Its color is silver." - Anne Spollen, The Shape of Water
These carved ivory earrings are influenced by the natural eddies and patterns found in running water. They speak of movement with their sterling silver streams set in an eternal spiral design that is echoed through the overall circular shape. This pairs' uncomplicated details and rounded silhouette contribute to a unified design that is wonderfully wearable in soft, organic tones.
The fossilized mammoth ivory in this pair is over 15,000 years old, dating back to before the last of the great mammoths roamed the earth. Mammoth ivory comes to us in a range of cream to caramel or cocoa hues depending on whether it lies buried in permafrost or underground where it is exposed to minerals. This ancient material is prized as a gorgeous touch of antiquity in fine jewelry pieces and artisan crafts. Mammoth ivory takes us back to a bygone era, reminding us of the irrevocable impermanence of life on earth.
