Ancient Carved Ivory Fishing Necklace

This latest design from Zealandia’s silver fish jewelry collection depicts a fish nosing up to a faceted blue topaz stone, an image that evokes the water magic that natives have long associated with fish. Fish are more than valuable food sources in various cultures—they are seen as medicine and as a representation of the unconscious in their deep, watery habitat.

This silver fish necklace features ancient mammoth ivory, a material that tells a tale all its own thanks to centuries spent in the earth where it is gently colored. Eventually, natural forces expose this fossilized material, and it is gathered to be carved into fine jewelry and works of art.

This jeweled fish necklace makes an ideal gift for anyone who feels a particular connection to the water and its inhabitants.
