Gold and mammoth ivory rings 2015

Do not be surprised by such a strange combination of gold rings and mammoth ivory rings in the same row. Bone products only at first glance can be attributed to jewelry, but if you go to a jewelry store, you can see that rings made from mammoth or elephant tusk are not inferior in value to gold rings!

In 2015, gold will be relevant, and this is not surprising, but together with gold we can see bone products in the collections of jewelry and fashion brands. In this post we will look exclusively at rings.

Rings made of mammoth bone, elephant ivory or walrus tusk have long held a special place among jewelry. On the one hand, gold is more valuable, on the other hand, bone products are rarer and more original, and besides that, they are warm and mysterious. This is especially true for products made from mammoth ivory. Don't be alarmed, no one kills a mammoth to create your ring. Mammoth tusks are mined in impassable places in Siberia.

Nobody knows how many millions of mammoths have found their last refuge in the wilds of Siberia, but there are definitely many millions of them. This is how rich our country is! In addition to mammoth bones, elephant tusk and walrus tusk are excellent raw materials for rings, for the sake of which it is also not necessary to get animals. In addition, over the past centuries, a lot of walrus tusk and elephant tusk have been mined, so these reserves are quite enough for the manufacture of such miniature items as rings.

How much do you think a mammoth tusk ring is worth? For example, is this Bibi van der Velden decorated with a fairy frog? If we recalculate the current ruble exchange rate (02/27/2015), it will be more than 200,000 rubles. The price is fabulous, no less than a frog!

Mammoth tusk is mined in the wilds of Siberia and in addition to bone carving, we see here a pearl of the correct shape, as well as small inserts of gold and a tiny green pebble, the weight of which is so scanty that it can be almost ignored. In any case, considering all the components, the ring is very expensive.

In a crisis, you need to save money and make purchases as thoughtfully as possible, therefore you can go the other way and get carved bone rings much cheaper. There are many skilled craftsmen in Russia, there are bone carvers, they will make a ring for you from bone for a very affordable price. If desired, a simple walrus tusk or mammoth tusk ring can be obtained very inexpensively.

To make a ring, a very small piece is required, the cost of which is low, so the main cost of the ring is the work of a bone carver.

The master cuts the mammoth tusk with a drill, and then refines it with thin incisors. Depending on the skill of the master and the complexity of the ring, the cost may vary. A simple ring can cost 2,000 rubles, and a ring with a frog or a more complex composition can cost 5,000 or 10,000 if the master appreciates his work very highly.

After that, the ring should be given to a jeweler, who will decorate it with inserts of gold and precious or semi-precious stones. I am very familiar with this topic, so advice is not empty reasoning, but real personal experience.

Ancient animals transfer some energy to rings and other products. From my own experience I know that these products always carry some kind of warmth and a positive charge.

In addition to bone products, rings made from semi-precious stones... For example, Finds ring is made of agate. In addition to stone rings, Finds offers wood products, which at first glance can be considered inexpensive jewelry, but this is not the case. The Finds wooden ring contains an 18K gold insert and is set with diamonds, so its value rises above ordinary jewelry.

Traditional gold rings boast an incredible wealth of shapes and sizes.Jewelers offer a wide variety of jewelry, from simple rings set with a single pearl to intricate pieces with many diamonds.

Very interesting spiral rings and typesetting rings are somewhat reminiscent of knuckle dusters. There are many rings with sharp edges that will help create a more predatory and aggressive look. And if you love nature, you will surely love rings with animals and insects, which have long inspired jewelers to create new and new jewelry.
