WALRUS TUSK IVORY
The fossilized walrus tusk used in this ivory jewelry spans the neutral tones from creamy white to honey, reddish brown to black, depending on the minerals the walrus tusk was in contact with and the length of time it was in the ground. The browns and oranges are formed by iron and manganese, greens and blues by copper and the rare reds by gold.This ancient fossilized ivory is anywhere from 500 to 3,000 years old and is legally obtained from native owned land, having been excavated by Eskimo families from old village sites on St. Lawrence Island, Alaska.
