Fossilized Ivory Octopus Pendant

The ocean depths hold countless creatures, perhaps none more fascinating than the octopus. They continue to amaze us with their intelligence and have become known for their mysterious and captivating deep sea way of life. In this pendant, the octopus seems to be playing in the waves, surrounded by faceted rainbow moonstone gems catching the light of the ocean.
The octopus is hand carved from ancient mammoth tusk ivory. Remnants of the mammoths’ tusks have lain in the earth or permafrost for over 15,000 years. They are unearthed in a variety of soft cream colors, and take us back to a time when these great beasts still roamed the earth. Mammoth ivory is beloved for its age-old story and for the quality it lends to fine designs and art works.
