Copy of "Sea Garden" Ancient Fossilized Walrus Tusk, Peridot and Sterling Silver Pendant

Zealandia Starfish Jewelry in Silver, Fossilized Tusk, and Peridot

The starfish - or sea star - is a highly sensitive and uniquely sensory creature. Delicate nerves run through is center and spider out to the tip of each arm, and certain species can even regenerate these limbs if lost. They harness the sea currents in lieu of blood to pump nutrients through their body and appear as almost 2,000 different species the world over.

The regenerative and sensitive qualities inherent to the starfish make it a tender symbol of the sea. Our starfish pendant in silver and green peridot is carved from fossilized walrus ivory, a centuries old material once buried in the earth and uncovered again by the tides or erosion. Native peoples gather this fossilized ivory and it is carved into pieces of Zealandia starfish jewelry and other fine works of art.

This starfish necklace in silver and fossilized ivory is as beguiling as the ocean itself with a sparkling faceted peridot accent. Peridot, the stone of stress relief, harmony, and compassion, is reminiscent of the ocean's calming powers, and it is especially lovely when paired with the ancient carved ivory.
