【Zhong Yue】Natural Mammoth Ivory Ice Grade Handlet with Silver-Gold Plated Spacers

【Zhong Yue】Natural Mammoth Ivory Ice Grade Handlet with Silver-Gold Plated Spacers **Product Summary** This is a one-of-a-kind piece, designed to be worn on the wrist like a bracelet, suitable for hand circumferences from 13-17 cm. The flexible wristlet features milky-yellow, ice-grade mammoth ivory beads strung on an elastic cord, resembling a bangle. Between every six ivory slices, a K-gold-plated pure silver spacer is inlaid. The overlapping sheen of metal, varying in width, glints like moonlight striking ice, while the ivory's natural grain unfurls across the curved surface like an ancient language. When worn, it flows around the wrist like a jade bangle, with only the warmth against the skin reminding you that it is a keepsake warmed by time and craftsmanship. **Mammoth Ivory** Mammoth ivory, a relic of prehistoric creatures, serves as an alternative material for ivory carving craftsmanship in China. The United Nations Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) does not prohibit the processing and trade of mammoth ivory. Mammoth ivory is a prehistoric biological remnant. Due to climate change, most mammoth ivory is no longer suitable for carving, with only about 15% of high-quality ice-grade mammoth ivory being usable for carving. It is a scarce, non-renewable resource, often referred to as "white gold," sought after by governments worldwide. Considered a precious cultural relic, its rarity has led to restrictions on its extraction. Mammoth ivory is highly valued in the market due to its legal status, non-renewability, and collectible characteristics. Its exquisite, luxurious, durable, and precious nature has earned it the reputation of an "organic gemstone," with significant potential for collection and investment appreciation. It is mentioned multiple times in Buddhist scriptures, holding a noble and sacred status in Buddhism, symbolizing warding off evil, attracting fortune, calming the spirit, and stabilizing the home. Crushed fragments from carving can be used medicinally to calm seizures and spirits, and also to dispel dampness and detoxify. It can even be used for beauty purposes! **Mammoth Ivory Grades** When we refer to mammoth ivory, we typically mean the front incisors of mammoths. There are primarily four types of mammoth ivory material: ice grade, frozen soil grade, soil grade, and molars. Among these four, most opinions consider ice-grade mammoth ivory to be the best. Ice Grade: Material sealed in ice. This is the finest grade. Due to the low-temperature, sealed storage environment, the ivory is preserved cleanly and intact, without spots or cracks, possessing excellent quality. Frozen Soil Grade: As the name suggests, this material originates from frozen soil. Its quality is slightly inferior to ice grade, with more cracks, but it offers richer color variations. It is cleaner and purer than soil grade and is quite popular in the market. Soil Grade: Generally considered the lowest grade. It not only yields more waste material but also exhibits significant calcification. Its luster and smoothness are poor, making it difficult to meet carving requirements, and its price is relatively lower. Molars: Mammoth molars. Most have fossilized, and only a small portion requires processing to be made into accessories. Their texture differs from the first three grades. **Zhong Yue** Slicing glaciers into round seeds Buried in the snowfield Waiting for the stars of silver and gold to sprout between fingers As the galaxy's glaze seeps from the cracks Those frozen rings begin to branch out Bearing miniature moons New herds of elephants break through the ice Using their tusks to lift the first ray Of silver-like dawn **Product Description** Mammoth ivory from the Siberian permafrost is carved into plump slices, their milky-yellow hue resembling solidified amber honey. Each slice retains its original grain—the fine rhombic pattern on the cross-section is an imprint of millennia of frozen earth, while the meandering grain on the side resembles spring cracks splitting open during glacial melt. Six slices are grouped together, strung with K-gold-plated pure silver spacers. The spacer design is subtly ingenious: three widths—large, medium, and small—are arranged in a staggered pattern. The cool metallic sheen alternates with the ivory's gentle warmth, like tidal waves under the moon lapping at glaciers. When the curved ivory slices conform to the wrist bone, they form a natural embrace, creating a bangle-like shape. It possesses the dignified elegance of a bracelet, yet feels light and dynamic due to its flexible stringing. The K-gold layer on the silver base emits a mist-like warm golden hue, blending with the ivory's milky yellow, as if the afterglow of sunset is spreading across the snowfield, imbuing the metal with a breathing warmth. Mammoth ivory captures the lost glacial era, while silver and gold symbolize humanity's gentle appropriation of nature. As it glides around the wrist, the dialogue between the ivory grain and metal becomes a harmonious resonance transcending time—possessing both the rugged poetry of antiquity and the exquisite radiance of the present. The entire bracelet is like a fragment of glacier steeped in moonlight, ancient yet not heavy, brilliant yet without sharpness. As it quietly encircles the wrist, one can almost hear the footsteps of ancient mammoths, transforming into delicate, light metallic sounds. **Specifications** Natural Mammoth Ivory Slices: Approx. 6mm × 4mm K-Gold Plated Pure Silver Spacers: Approx. 1.8mm × 6mm, 2.8mm × 6mm, 3.6mm × 6mm **Purchase Notice** All main materials for this product are natural.
