Ancient Mammoth Ivory Lotus Earrings Silver

The lotus flower is a revered symbol in both Buddhist and Hindu traditions. This intrepid bloom grows from the murky, muddy depths to flower each day in perfect purity. Gautama Buddha left lotus blooms and petals everywhere he stepped as a symbol of his enlightened state. Hindus associate their entire pantheon of gods and goddesses with the pink lotus flower, a symbol of divinity, beauty, and life itself.

The lotus petal offers its sublime shape as inspiration for our mammoth ivory lotus earrings. The decorated sterling silver lotus petal is highlighted with an ancient mammoth ivory drop accent that tells a story older than the oldest lotus myth.

Our fossilized mammoth tusk ivory is over 15,000 years old, dating back to when the last of the great mammoths roamed the earth. It has spent the vast majority of its many years buried in permafrost or underground. It retains much of its original pale creamy luster if buried in permafrost, turning a warmer more earthen caramel shade if buried underground where it is exposed to minerals. Touching a piece of mammoth ivory reminds us of a bygone era and of the transience of life.
