Scrimshaw jewelry is a traditional art form that involves etching intricate designs onto the surface of whale ivory or bone. Historically, sailors would create scrimshaw pieces during long voyages, using simple tools like needles or knives to carve the designs. Today, artists continue to craft scrimshaw jewelry, often using legal alternatives like fossilized ivory or synthetic materials to avoid harming endangered species.
This exquisite piece has a rare floral pattern in multiple colours.
Sourced from a farmhouse in Aix-en-Provence.
dimensions: 1"W x 1"H
