This ivory from Alaska is at least 10,000 years old and could just as easily be 50,000 years old. It is only slightly harder than elephant ivory. 

Alaska holds the last legal forms of ivory in the world: fossilized woolly mammoth and walrus. We do not carry elephant, hippopotamus, rhino, whale, or other forms of ivory, which are illegal. We only sell ivory that has been harvested and collected never hunted. Our mammoth and walrus ivory comes with certification paperwork and is completely worry free. 

Blue Ivory or vivianite ivory is an extremely rare form of ivory. Only 2% of all ivory will ever turn this color. The reason for this is because the fossilized ivory is penetrated by the mineral vivianite, changing the color of the ivory. This mammoth tusk can be dated back to at least 10,000 years old. 

​Edward Lawrence, has been a craftsman and designer for over 40 years, working with many kinds of materials including different metals and fossil ivories. His jewelry is inspired by the material and their shapes, and the designs come from the interaction of several individual materials working together. Edward is a firm believer in “form to functional pieces” looking just right, making each piece individual and everlasting. But the true beauty comes from the interpretation of each individual piece to its new owner.
