Angelfish Jewelry—Carved Fossilized Ivory and Silver Angelfish Necklace

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. This solitaire necklace captures the angel fish on a journey, swimming to a destination only he can see.

Our angel fish necklace is carved and crafted by hand, and its design was intended to give this pendant 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 piece of jewelry that bears all the hallmarks of our artisanal quality.

The angel fish's body is carved from fossilized mammoth ivory, which is over 15,000 years old and dates back to the time when these animals still roamed the earth. Fossilized mammoth ivory has lain in permafrost or the earth for centuries where minerals color it the cream to rich honey and cocoa colors that signify this ancient ivory. Mammoth ivory is sought after worldwide for its unforgettable quality and the touch of ancient times it lends to fine jewelry pieces such as this mammoth ivory necklace.
