Woolly Mammoth Fossil Ivory Heart Pendant | Ice Age Treasures

I call this woolly mammoth fossil ivory heart pendant “The Charming Heart.” It is the first of its style I have created and a one-of-one piece of jewelry. I hand-shaped the mammoth tusk fragment into a small heart, then paired it with a freshwater pearl and vintage blue-iridescent beads. I like the contrast between the ancient ivory, the pearl, and the shifting blue color of the Swarovski "Blue Capri", each bringing its own character to this one-of-a-kind piece.

The fossil ivory comes from The Boneyard Alaska, from material dating 12,000–40,000 years old. It comes from an extinct Ice Age animal; no modern animals are harmed.
