Ivory Tusk Shaped Leverback Earrings 

These beautiful ivory tusk shaped leverback earrings are set in sterling silver. The mammoth ivory pieces are about 3/4″ wide and about 1 1/2″ tall.

Locals on Saint Lawrence Island, located off the western coast of Alaska, found the ivory used in these earrings. They find the ivory combing the local beaches and rivers. Furthermore, rare minerals naturally occurring near some of the ivory, turned the natural material into the amazing colors shown.

Alaskan fossilized mammoth ivory jewelry is a distinctive and captivating collection that merges prehistoric beauty with contemporary craftsmanship. In fact, craftsmen carefully extract and preserve the fossilized ivory, ensuring that each piece maintains its individual character, texture, and history. The resulting jewelry showcases a mesmerizing blend of earthy tones, from creamy whites to rich browns, with subtle variations in color and grain patterns that make each piece truly one-of-a-kind.

Artisans expertly carve the fossilized mammoth ivory into an array of jewelry pieces, including earrings, pendants, bracelets, and rings. Additionally, the intricate designs often draw inspiration from Alaskan wildlife, native cultures, and the natural environment. Thus, creating pieces that are not only visually striking but also carry a unique connection to the ancient past.
