Ivory earrings collection

Oreccchini avorio ‘’ERA GLACIALE’’ .

Ivory, mammoth fossil, yellow gold.

The collection ”ICE AGE” comprende gioielli (mainly ivory earrings) which I made by cutting mammouth ivory which is dug into the Siberian permafrost (dating back to the ice age) , and has from 10.000 a 100.000 years of age.

Fossil ivory’ it is free trade and does not require any certificate, as it does not belong to an endangered species.

Prospectors find it in parts of Siberia and Alaska, in the permafrost, the layer of frozen soil that thaws for a few months a year.

I purchase small fragments of fangs that have no archaeological value, but which I use to create jewelry and jewelry.

Grazie alla duttilità di questo materiale ho realizzato la collezione di orecchini avorio ”ICE AGE”, a series of earrings with free forms.

From the classic drops, but of unusual dimensions, with soft geometric shapes’ inspired by the lines of the 60s and 70s, and also to figures inspired by works of contemporary art.
