#IVORY JEWELRY PORTABLE#
The ancient ivories featured in our designs vary from 300 to over 15,000 years old, and come from both fossilized walrus and ancient mammoth tusk. Modern yet timeless, our portable Jewellery Case keeps your most treasured possessions secure. The creamy texture of the bone and its pliability make it a sought after commodity that still dominates the market despite the various governmental restrictions on its trade. These massive tusks are unearthed many ways modern day gold miners dredge up mineralized remains in the course of placer mining activities, spring floods wash tusks from frozen river banks, bush pilots spot the huge tusks jutting out of the tundra, and Eskimo subsistence hunters find mammoth remains incidentally in their daily task of survival. Ivory has been a staple material for art and jewelry-making in India since, and possibly before, Vedic times. Mammoth ivory is anywhere from 10,000 to 200,000 years old and is found in Arctic regions such as Alaska, Canada, Chukotka (or the Chuckchi Peninsula), Yakutia, Magadan and Siberia where the tusks have been preserved in the permafrost.
