Product Overview
Our garnet and silver bee earrings are carved from fossilized ivory and set with a mixed metal treatment that encapsulates the intrepid bee's minuscule beauty. The walrus tusk ivory has spent centuries buried in the earth where minerals stain it warm caramel to soft brown colors. Native peoples gather this fossilized walrus ivory for use in their carvings and for sale or trade. It plays a vital role in their cultural traditions as well as their indigenous economy.
