Fossilized Mammoth Tusk, 14kt Gold Fill, and Silver Gecko Pendant

The humble gecko is one of the most ubiquitous animals. He makes his home on every continent except for Antarctica, adapting to climates as diverse as the rain forest to deserts and cold mountains. They are the 'outspoken lizard,' chirping and clicking at one other to communicate.

Most geckos are nocturnal, which has lent them a symbolic role: the keeper of dreams. They are also believed to represent transition between the dream world and the waking one. The gecko is a survivor. Many geckos can drop their tails to escape would-be predators.

Our silver gecko pendant is set on a background of hand carved fossilized mammoth tusk. This ancient material is over 15,000 years old and has spent most of its long life buried in the earth or permafrost. The earth colors the mammoth ivory variegated shades from cream to deep caramel, giving the ivory a rich and organic look. It is prized for its relative scarcity and for the touch of antiquity it lends to fine jewelry and artisan crafts.

14kt gold fill accents this gecko pendant's beauty and highlights the fossilized ivory's sunlit tones. This carved ivory pendant is equally striking on leather or a sterling silver chain, and it is sure to resonate with gecko lovers everywhere.
