Mammoth Tusk Jewelry - Sea Turtle Carved Ivory Earrings

We have long been enchanted with the sea turtle's ancient wisdom and gracious, gentle soul. He is a true minister of the waves, and he can adapt to an ever changing environment. This does not make our beloved turtle a chameleon, however. Quite the contrary: the sea turtle is ever himself - constant, autonomous, and seemingly benevolent through it all.

We adore sea turtles here at Zealandia Designs, and these silver sea turtle earrings reflect our love of this wondrous animal. Our designers selected ancient mammoth tusk ivory for the turtles' carved shells, lending these carved ivory earrings a touch of earthy elegance.

Ancient mammoth ivory has spent much of 15,000 year plus life buried in the earth where it gathered its soft, creamy hue. Mammoth ivory is prized the world over by jewelry carvers and designers for its singular quality and age-old history.

These sea turtle earrings in silver and ancient ivory incorporates spiral and stipple designs, reminiscent of ancient petro glyphs. The designs are inked to lend them contrast to the mammoth ivory's earthen tones and to the silver's cool gleam - a favorite pair from our mammoth tusk jewelry collection!
