Our earthy fossilized ivory and sterling silver eagle pendant captures this powerful creature in a moment of contemplation, wings outstretched against a brilliant sky.
The eagle is perhaps the most powerful of the totemic animals—animals that have come to embody specific qualities that resonate with us and mirror our experience in the world. Our sterling silver eagle necklace snapshots this majestic bird in a contemplative moment as he circles the skies, scanning the earth, wings outstretched to their full span. As a totemic animal, the eagle has come to embody the qualities of keen insight, illumination, speed, and the power to rise above.
The eagle’s wings are cast in ornate sterling silver, highlighting a Southwest motif. This handcrafted eagle pendant is surprisingly light, and the bale is situated so that the pendant hangs at an asymmetrical angle as pictured. It is a striking piece that makes an unforgettable statement.
The eagle pendant’s body is hand carved from ancient mammoth ivory, which is over 15,000 years old. The mammoth tusk has lain undisturbed in the earth or in permafrost for millennia. Its creamy tone and the touch of antiquity it brings to art and craftsman works have made it a favorite material among collectors and artisans alike. To hold a piece of mammoth ivory in your hand is to be transported back to a bygone time when these gorgeous creatures still roamed the earth.
