The glorious phoenix rising from the ashes is celebrated in this stunning phoenix necklace featuring mammoth ivory that is thousands of years old and rich amber.
The phoenix, a mythical creature with a powerful symbolic life, takes center stage in this hand carved phoenix pendant that features ancient materials. The phoenix makes his winged presence known in many cultures throughout the world from Native American traditions to Russian and Chinese incarnations of the dynamic bird. The phoenix’s strength is its immortality, thereby symbolizing the soul and the cycle of life. The Phoenix rises from the ashes of a fire it creates to resurrect and live again.
Our designers have celebrated the cycle of life, death, and rebirth in this phoenix necklace with a focus on circular themes and materials that date back many centuries. In this phoenix pendant the bird’s wings touch the amber sun, completing the cycle. The circular amber sun is another nod to the cyclical nature of life, death, and rebirth.
The phoenix’s body is carved from ancient ivory, specifically mammoth ivory that has lain buried in the earth or permafrost for upwards of 15,000 years. To hold a piece of mammoth ivory in your hand is to step back many millennia to another time when these wondrous creatures still roamed the earth. Mammoth ivory makes a stunning addition to jewelry and fine art works, and it is valued the world over for its unique history.
