This necklace is a statement piece, celebrating the fusion of natural history and artisanal craftsmanship. It features a graduated series of mammoth ivory pearls (Mammuthus primigenius), each larger than the last, leading to a central point. The beads' rose-cut finish highlights their unique texture, a reminder of the material's ancient origins.
The mammoth ivory brings with it the mystique of the Ice Age. Each bead, with its patterns and slight colour variations, tells a story millions of years in the making. The necklace is designed to gracefully adorn the neck, providing an elegant focal point that is both historic and chic.
This necklace is not just an accessory but an artifact, representing a timeless connection to the earth's majestic past. It is an heirloom-quality piece that marries the raw beauty of prehistoric ivory with the sophistication of modern jewellery design.
