Angelfish Jewelry—Fossilized Ivory and Silver Angel Fish Earrings

The angel fish is one of the most graceful and recognizable in the fish family for his long trailing fins and distinctive profile. The angel fish's prominent dorsal fin and long trailing ventral fins give us the impression that this swimmer is meant for the stage, adorned in his showy finery. These earrings are a delightful conversation piece and the perfect accessory for any water or fish lover.

We've crafted this pair by hand, and its design was intended to give these earrings depth. The fish's stripes wrap the fossilized ivory body and act as a setting for this ancient material. Each piece of Zealandia jewelry is made with keen attention to detail, offering a unique keepsake that bears all the hallmarks of our artisanal quality.

The angel fish's body is carved from mammoth ivory, which is over 15,000 years old and dates back to when these mighty creatures still roamed the earth. Fossilized mammoth ivory has spent centuries buried in permafrost or underground where minerals color it a variety of cream to rich honey and cocoa colors. It makes an unforgettable focal point in our jewelry that is often inspired by the natural world and ancient, natural materials.

Fossilized mammoth ivory is sought after worldwide for its unsurpassed quality and the touch of a lost era that it lends to fine jewelry pieces such as these mammoth ivory earrings.
