Small Mammoth Ivory Rose Necklace

This necklace is a testament to timeless elegance. It features a single strand of graduated mammoth ivory beads (Mammuthus primigenius). The beads start small at the clasp and gently increase in size towards the centre, drawing the eye to the larger, rose-cut central beads, which showcase the natural beauty of the ivory.

Mammoth ivory, with its rich history and unique properties, gives each bead a distinct character, with subtle variations in colour and texture that tell a story of a bygone era. The necklace is designed to lie gracefully along the collarbone; its length and the varying sizes of the beads create a classic and sophisticated silhouette.

The careful selection and placement of the beads demonstrate a dedication to craftsmanship and design, resulting in a piece that is not only a beautiful addition to any jewellery collection but also a conversation starter, inviting tales of the ancient world and the majestic creatures that provided this ivory. It’s an embodiment of both heritage and elegance, perfect for those who appreciate the deep connection between art, history, and adornment.
