About the Item

The Small Mammoth Galaxy Ring, by Bibi van der Velden, combines 18k Yellow Gold with 40,000 year old Mammoth Tusk, Opals, Diamonds and Blue Sapphires. This ring is from the Galaxy Collection, inspired by the mysterious and intriguing cosmos we live in. Luminous Tahitian pearls, iridescent opals, and 60,000-year-old mammoth tusk all come under the spotlight in the Galaxy Collection. Taking the cosmos as their inspiration, these elegant designs draw on Bibi’s fascination with clouds, stars, and the night sky. Pearls resemble tiny planets in rings and necklaces, while one statement cocktail ring is crafted around an opal that stands out for its swirling, multi-coloured tones, with each opal entirely unique, the stone orbited by pearl planets and diamond stars. Intricacy and movement is also infused into the collection. Take the Mammoth Galaxy Ring, fashioned as a mammoth tusk orb that spins in its 18k yellow gold setting, embellished with sapphires and diamonds. Many of these pieces can be personalised, too. The Mammoth Galaxy Spinning Necklace can be embellished with precious stones and gold accents in your zodiac sign’s constellation, while the Galaxy Opal Shooting Star Ring can be set with a unique combination of pavé stones, to represent children or significant others. The creator of this piece, Bibi van der Velden, believes that jewellery should imbue the wearer with energy, with her pieces offering a playful, personal, and highly artistic take on fine jewellery. This personal touch comes from a jewellery-making process that’s grounded in traditional craftsmanship. Working with sustainable and unexpected materials, among them 60,000-year-old mammoth tusk, ostrich eggs, and scarab wings, Bibi hand-sketches and hand-carves each piece in wax. Bibi describes her jewellery pieces as “miniature sculptures.”
