Fossilized Mammoth Ivory Tusk Silver Bee Earrings

In addition to the important part bees play in biodiversity and ecological balance, the bee has been long revered throughout mythology as a symbol of the soul. The bee is a disciplined, diligent worker—sometimes seen alone and at times with other members of the hive. This pair of bees highlights the busy bee hunting for nectar on a sparkling green peridot flower center.

Peridot, a semi-precious stone that is associated with nature by virtue of its fresh green color, is also the stone of harmony and compassion. It is a true stress reliever. Peridot’s verdant hue makes it the perfect foil for the fossilized ivory’s earthy coloring in these mammoth ivory earrings.

The ancient mammoth ivory tusk featured in these carved ivory earrings has spent many centuries buried in the earth where it gradually gathered its cream to caramel tones. After it is uncovered and brought back to the light, our mammoth ivory is hand worked into the carved ivory earrings you see here.

Fossilized mammoth tusk ivory is highly prized as a unique material with an age-old history, and it is used the world over in fine jewelry pieces and other art works.
