Boneyard Alaska Woolly Mammoth Ivory, Onyx and Turquoise bead pendant showcases an extraordinary piece of prehistoric history. Hand-crafted, free-form cut section of authentic woolly mammoth tusk ivory, displaying the distinctive Schreger chevrons that only genuine mammoth ivory possesses. Paired with an ivory bead, rich onyx and vibrant turquoise beads, this one-of-a-kind design creates a striking contrast that draws the eye and sparks conversation.
What makes this pendant truly special is its origin story. The woolly mammoth ivory comes directly from Boneyard Alaska, the renowned excavation site in Fairbanks where these ancient treasures have been carefully recovered, stabilized and preserved. The staining left from mineralization and decrepdation over 10,000 years leave artifacts or "scars" I like to keep or highlight as it shows more of the raw, natural character of the mammoth tusk it broke away from years ago.
By wearing this pendant, you're not just adorning yourself with a beautiful accessory—you're carrying a tangible connection to an ice age that ended thousands of years ago made by Kristin R. Park, a Master Boner and Tusk Restoration Specialist from the Boneyard. Perfect for collectors, history enthusiasts, or anyone seeking a meaningful piece with genuine character and authenticity that no mass-produced jewelry can match. Gold Filled hand made bale, mid century Onyx and Arizona turquoise beads.

Enjoy it! Keep dry as ivory doesn't like being wet. Use a clean dry polishing cloth to buff. Treat ivory jewelry like a fine gem or fossil. No soaps or detergents. If you have any other care questions let me know. Thank you, Kristin
