FOSSILISED WALRUS & MAMMOTH IVORY
From the shores of Kachemak Bay in scenic Homer, Alaska, designer Catrin Lovet incorporates the rare and beautiful ancient Walrus and Mammoth ivories into one of a kind creations, revealing the natural beauty of these unique and timeless materials.
The Ivory is 500 to 10,000 years old and derives its colour from cenuries buried in the frozen tundra. The colour varies from a light warm cream to a slightly darker warm cream. It features a varying light to dark brown matrix and ancient cracks. It is dug in the warm summer months by the coastal Eskimos.
