Mammoth Ivory Carvings & Jewellery
Woolly Mammoth Ivory has been used by humans as a carving median and adornment since our time on earth began. This material has a story involving humans from a time in history when “Tribal” life was commonplace. Because of this history it is many people’s belief that woolly mammoth material is indeed more interesting than any other sculpture material in the world.
Woolly Mammoth ivory is better than elephant ivory and does not involve any killing. Our Mammoth Ivory is far cheaper then Elephant ivory so protect our elephants and collect only fossil mammoth ivory!

Our latest shipment of mammoth ivory carvings has arrived (Oct 2018) I have sent off more rough to our carvers including a couple of larger sections. We now have several hundred small to medium unique carvings and more unique jewellery. In any case way too many to put on the site. I have added a few new ones on the site and will add more over the coming weeks. Examples of our mammoth ivory jewellery are at the bottom of the page.
Woolly Mammoth ivory that is of a quality good enough to carve is a scarce resource.
-
Master carvers that have the ability to produce fine works of art from the mammoth ivory are also hard to find.
-
We believe we have the best carvers and the largest range of woolly mammoth ivory carvings in Australia.
-
We also believe that woolly mammoth ivory carvings are a true collectible art form and can only increase in value.

MAMMOTH IVORY PORTRAIT CARVINGS. Here is a unique idea for a gift. Give us plenty of time (3 months approximately). Provide us with a photograph and we will have our Mammoth Ivory portrait expert carve you that special piece. These two carvings have been carved from the photographs you see here. As you can imagine this type of exact carving is very time consuming and takes more than twice the time as a normal carving. Send us your photos by e mail and we will give you a quote for a jewellery size piece.
