Artisan Carved Mammoth Ivory Necklace

This lovely mammoth ivory necklace takes its design inspiration from the arctic sun, which offers gorgeous golden light for months on end during the summer. Home to the 'Midnight Sun,' the arctic circle sees a spectacular amount of light during the warm season that illuminates the area's pristine silvered waters and icebergs.

This carved ivory necklace's sun accent is made from fossilized mammoth ivory tusk, a naturally colored material that gains its cream to caramel hue after centuries spent buried in permafrost or the earth. Mammoth ivory tusk is over 15,000 years old, dating back to when the last of the great mammoths still roamed. It is prized the world over as a fine addition to artisan crafts and jewelry, carrying with it that touch of ancient times.

The pendant is finished with an intricately decorated sterling silver treatment that highlights our signature spiraling wave motif. Like each piece of Zealandia jewelry, no detail is left incomplete, and the result is a classic fossilized mammoth necklace that will last a lifetime.
