Our String Theory II carved ivory earrings combine Zealandia's signature swirling surf accents with earthy fossilized ivory beads in a variety of shapes, creating a favorite pair that you'll want to wear with every look!
The upper and lower sterling silver surf details are hand worked with spirals that evoke an ocean spray and the currents. Jenny Byrne, Zealandia's lead designer, counts the ocean as one of her greatest artistic influences growing up in New Zealand. Its magic has continued to inspire during her worldwide travels, and these surf details show up in many of her designs.
The fossilized mammoth ivory beads that join the silver surf details are made from mammoth tusk that is over 15,000 years old. This mammoth tusk has lain in the earth for millennia, accreting a variegated rich cream to caramel hue. Its range of natural tones and rare quality make it a prized material in fine jewelry and artisan crafts. Fossilized mammoth ivory is takes us back to a bygone era when these wondrous creatures still roamed the earth.
Pair these mammoth ivory earrings with our Ocean Currents necklace for a complete set.
