Hello all.
I have a few Jessica Kagan Cushman resin bracelets (with the different sayings) and I love them. I was in a department store recently and saw the Mammoth Ivory ones and fell in love with them. They are stunning in person! So I did some research since I definitely don't want any jewerly that might be controversial by any means, kwim? Anyhow, just wanted to get your opinion. It seems to be okay, because no animals were hunted to make the bracelet or anything. This is the description on her website:
Mammoth ivory ranges from 10,000 to 40,000 years old and has been preserved in the permafrost in Alaska and Siberia. It has an outer layer commonly called bark ivory which is harder than the inner ivory or dentine. Frequently, the inner dentine will be completely rotted away while the bark is still usable. The quality of Mammoth ivory varies considerably from rotted to very solid tusks which can be sawed into dimensional materials. With rotted material referred to as D-grade and saw-able solid material as A-grade, Mammoth ivory is approximately 15% D-grade, 15% C-grade, 60% B-grade and 10% A-grade. The material we use to make Jessica Kagan Cushman bangles is all A-grade. Each bracelet is hand carved and designed by Jessica Kagan Cushman Studio.
This is the bracelet I'm interested in...it says "Never never never give up."
TIA for your thoughts.
