Ivory Post Bear Earrings
These mammoth ivory post bear earrings are a unique pair to add to your collection. Colors vary in neutral shades of cream, tan, and brown. Mammoth Ivory jewelry combines artistry, history, and environmental responsibility in each unique piece.
Mammoth ivory jewelry is crafted from the tusks of ancient woolly mammoths, which are now extinct. These days, people find the ivory in Alaska and the Yukon. These enormous animals had tusks that weighed up to 200 pounds each. The permafrost of North America has preserved fossilized mammoth ivory for thousands of years.
The ivory is a rare and unique material that carries the history of a bygone era. The woolly mammoths roamed the Earth during the Ice Age, making mammoth ivory a fascinating and historically significant medium for jewelry. Additionally, the ivory often exhibits a range of natural colors, from creamy whites to deep browns, depending on factors like the minerals and sediments it absorbed while buried. These variations add to the charm and uniqueness of each piece.
