Silver Hummingbird Jewelry—Fossilized Mammoth Ivory Silver Hummingbird Necklace

The hummingbird represents delight in life, lightness, energy, and quick, precise action. They are fascinating creatures to watch with their lightning fast wing beats, rapid movement, and the sweet way they sip nectar from a flower or feeder. If you are lucky enough to spot a hover of these birds, you'll see that they form a moving mosaic of color and motion in the air, which is abuzz with the vibrations of their tiny wings. This bold, miniscule bird is unique to North and South American continents, and they inspired much wonder when Europeans first settled the Americas.

Our hummingbird necklace in silver and fossilized mammoth ivory is a poem of movement, natural materials, and inventive design. The hummingbird's bodies are carved from mammoth ivory that is over 15,000 years old and prized for its natural quality.

Our fossilized mammoth ivory has lain in permafrost or underground for most of its long life where minerals stain it the cream to soft honey and rich cocoa hues it is now known by. This material is a reminder of how quickly life on earth can change—touching a piece of mammoth ivory takes you back in time to when the great mammoths still roamed the earth. This ancient ivory is a valuable addition to artisanal crafts and to jewelry pieces such as this mammoth ivory necklace.

The hummingbirds' wings and eyes are made from sterling silver, which is a cool complement to the fossilized ivory's warm tones. A double hook chain finishes this silver hummingbird necklace and balances the pendant expertly between both hooks. You'll treasure this favorite from our silver hummingbird jewelry collection for a lifetime!
