Mammoth Tusk Jewelry - Sea Turtle Mammoth Ivory Necklace

We have long been enchanted with the sea turtle's ancient wisdom and gracious, gentle soul. He is a true minister of the waves, and he can adapt to an ever changing environment. This does not make our beloved turtle a chameleon, however. Quite the contrary: the sea turtle is ever himself - constant, autonomous, and seemingly benevolent through it all.

We adore sea turtles here at Zealandia Designs, and this silver sea turtle necklace reflects our love of this wondrous animal. Our designers selected ancient mammoth tusk ivory for his carved shell, lending this carved ivory pendant an extra touch of earthy elegance. Mammoth ivory has lain in the earth for many thousands of years, accreting its soft, creamy hue. It is prized the world over by jewelry carvers and designers for its singular quality and age-old history.

This sea turtle necklace in silver and ancient ivory incorporates spiral and stipple designs on his shell, reminiscent of ancient petro glyphs. The designs are inked to lend them contrast to the mammoth ivory's earthen tones and to the silver's cool gleam - a favorite from our mammoth tusk jewelry collection!
