【Moonlight】Siberian Mammoth Ivory Tusk Heart Ice Material Dangle Earrings **Product Summary** At the core of these mammoth ivory earrings lies the tusk's inner material, preserved for millennia within ancient glacial ice, encapsulating eons of time in a small form. The 925 sterling silver earrings, plated with gold, feature minimalist long leaf lines that embody modern aesthetics. The plump, heart-shaped ivory carvings are translucent, revealing natural tusk grain, cradling a piece of high-blue turquoise like a glacial teardrop. The texture, resembling ice and jade, creates a captivating tension with the warmth of hand-polishing. Wearing them offers a sense of the ancient natural world while maintaining the lightness of contemporary jewelry, serving as a miniature totem dedicated to eternal beauty. **Mammoth Ivory** Mammoth ivory, a remnant of prehistoric creatures, serves as an alternative material for Chinese ivory carving. The United Nations Convention does not prohibit the processing and trade of mammoth ivory. As a prehistoric biological relic, due to climate change, most mammoth ivory is unsuitable for carving. Only about 15% of high-quality ice-grade mammoth ivory is usable for carving, making it a scarce, non-renewable resource. It is considered "white gold", highly sought after by governments for their reserves, and is a precious cultural artifact. Due to its rarity, its extraction is now restricted. Mammoth ivory is highly valued in the market for its collectibility, legality, and non-renewable nature. Renowned as an "organic gem" for its exquisite, luxurious, durable, and precious carvings, it holds significant potential for appreciation and investment. It is mentioned multiple times in Buddhist scriptures, holding a revered and sacred status in Buddhism with symbolic meanings of warding off evil, attracting fortune, calming the spirit, and securing the home. The fragmented materials from carving can be used medicinally, to calm seizures, soothe the spirit, and also to dispel dampness and detoxify. It can even be used for beauty purposes! Grades of Mammoth Ivory: What we commonly refer to as mammoth ivory typically comes from the tusks of mammoths. The materials are mainly categorized into four types: Ice Grade, Permafrost Grade, Soil Grade, and Molars. Among these, most agree that the white ice-grade mammoth ivory is the best. Ice Grade: Material preserved in ice layers, considered the finest. Due to the low-temperature, sealed environment of preservation, the ivory material is clean and intact, free from spots or cracks, offering exceptional quality. Permafrost Grade: As the name suggests, this material originates from permafrost. Its quality is slightly inferior to ice grade, with more cracks, but it exhibits a richer variety of colors and is cleaner and purer than soil grade, making it quite popular in the market. Soil Grade: Generally considered the lowest category. It not only yields more waste material but also exhibits significant calcification, resulting in poor luster and smoothness, making it difficult to meet carving demands. Its price is also relatively lower. Molars: Mammoth molars have mostly fossilized. A small portion requires processing to be made into accessories and differs in texture from the other three types. **Moonlight** Glaciers melt on the earlobe, Light seeps through, revealing frost cracks, congealing into translucent hearts. Light passes through ten thousand years, Casting fine growth rings on the neck, Like a heart holding the last drop of ancient moonlight, suspended, Waiting to be gently plucked away. **Product Description** The main body of the earrings is crafted from the heart material of Siberian permafrost ice-grade mammoth ivory. Preserved for three hundred million years in geological strata, it retains a creamy, jade-like hue, appearing flawless as white jade to the naked eye. Only when light passes through does the interlaced tusk grain become visible, like ancient moonlight frozen within ice layers. Artisans meticulously hand-carve the core into plump heart shapes, polishing them to a softness reminiscent of a baby's skin, with edges drawn into smooth parabolic curves. The ear hooks are made of internationally certified 925 sterling silver plated with 18K gold, featuring a long leaf design with fluid curved lines, as if plucking a piece of solidified moonlight with each wear. At the apex of each heart, a small, high-porcelain, high-blue turquoise bead is inlaid, mirror-polished. Its blue is like a slice of the clear sky over the Pamir Plateau, creating a visual poem of ice and fire against the ivory's cool white. Upon close inspection with transmitted light, natural growth lines are visible at the base of the tusk heart, which are the life rings etched by mammoths as they chewed Arctic lichen. The turquoise bead is precisely set at the "tip of the heart" where these纹理 converge, resembling a drop of blue amber formed from millennia of yearning. Inspired by "The Sigh of the Ice Age," the designer allows the tooth grain of extinct giants to converse with contemporary jewelry language—leaf vein curves cut through time, the ivory's gentle contours carry memory, and the turquoise blue ignites the modern spirit like a sudden bloom of ferns in the wilderness. When worn, what dangles below the earlobe is more than just an ornament; it is like a melting time amber, casting dynamic light spots on the side of the neck. The ice tusk patterns are filled with ancient codes, while the turquoise blue flames ignite modern spirituality. As they gently sway by the ears, they transform a fleeting moment of eternity from the river of civilization into tangible stardust. **Specifications** Total length of earring with hook: 35mm Mammoth ivory heart: 15mm × 15mm × 10mm Mammoth ivory heart with small turquoise and gold-plated ring: total length 21mm Weight of this section: 3.6g **Purchase Notice** All main materials for this product are sourced naturally.
