Fossilized Mammoth Ivory Eye of Horus Earrings

These Eye of Horus earrings evoke the ancient Egyptian sky god, Horus, and his eye's mystical powers of protection, healing, and all-seeing wisdom. Egyptian myth finds Horus at the center of both sun and moon symbolism—a dynamic god who had his eye torn out and then restored to its full visionary power.

The Eye of Horus has long been worn as a token of protection. Zealandia designers chose to feature this symbol as a pair of Egyptian eye earrings set in rich mixed metal detail with an ancient fossilized ivory accent. The use of sterling silver in the detailed frame showcases the 14kt gold fill side highlight. The ancient Egyptian's reverenced gold as 'the skin of the gods,' and it lends its particular warmth to the carved fossilized ivory center.

The fossilized mammoth ivory featured at the center of these Egyptian eyes has lain buried in permafrost or underground for over 15,000 years. If buried underground, earthen minerals color it the range of caramel to cocoa tones that have come to signify this prized material. Its relative scarcity and age-old story make it a very desirable addition to carved ivory earrings and other art works.

Mammoth ivory takes us back to the days before the Egyptians when these great beasts still roamed the earth. It has developed a legendary status all its own that accentuates the mysterious mythic symbol in these earrings.
