The graduated prehistoric woolly mammoth ivory bead necklace is an elegant style that can be dressed up or down and is oftentimes referred to as a "pearl replacement" necklace due to the similarities in look and size to this classic.

Beads range in size from 4mm to 10mm, and necklaces are available in lengths 18", 20", and 24".

Please note that colors may vary from the necklace photographed.

Prehistoric woolly mammoth ivory is found in the cold northern regions of Alaska, Canada, Russia, and Siberia, and may range in age from 10,000 to 200,000 years. Natural colors may include cream, tan, chocolate or caramel brown, blue, or green depending upon where the material was buried, and for how many tens of thousands of years.


About Ivory Jacks
Ivory Jacks has been family-owned and operated for over 40 years! Ivory Jacks specializes in eco-conscious prehistoric woolly mammoth ivory & tooth, fossil walrus ivory, vintage ebony wood, and naturally shed moose antler jewelry.

As a child, Kurt Tripp, co-owner and Ivory Jacks visionary, would see mammoth tusks that had been unearthed by the spring floods on the banks of the Yukon River near his childhood home of Fairbanks, Alaska. Kurt would play around these immense tusks and bones that had been collected by his grandfather, a riverboat pilot, and his father, an avid rock hound, and outdoorsman. He was curious about what they were and where they came from, how long they had been buried and what the massive creature looked like that had carried them. This profound fascination ultimately led to the business he would create with his wife, Francine, years later.

Ivory Jacks has grown over the years and currently carries over a thousand unique styles of jewelry, knives, cufflinks, ulus, art carvings, and more. The popular Ivory Jacks jewelry line incorporates mammoth and fossil walrus ivories, naturally shed moose antler, mammoth tooth, 14k gold, sterling silver, and precious and semi-precious stones. Pieces are available both set, for boutiques and gift shops and unset, for jewelry designers.

Kurt and Francine, co-owners of Ivory jacks live in the Pacific Northwest near Seattle. Their daughter, Courtney, is the lead Ivory Jacks eco-conscious jewelry designer.
