Alligator Bite Earrings of Mammoth Tusk and 18 Karat Gold and Tsavorite Eyes

About the Item

Intricately carved to replicate an alligator’s body in miniature, these earrings convey a fierce glamour. The earrings are designed in 18k yellow gold and 60,000-year-old mammoth tusk, with the alligator’s mouth acting as the earrings’ closing mechanism, so they snap the ear. With tsavorite eyes, the tails on these alligators move too, underlining Bibi’s attention to the most minute of details. Fierce, mythical, and friendly creatures become beautiful pieces of jewellery in Bibi’s hands. Alligators, bats, unicorns, frogs, and iguanas are fashioned in mammoth tusk, their forms crafted into rings, earrings, and necklaces. Designed in 18k yellow and rose gold, and embellished with silver and brown diamonds and tsavorites, these pieces are both precious and playful. Indeed, the jewellery’s form is often elegantly fused into its function. The Animal Alligator Earrings “snap” their 18k gold mouths to close on the ear, while the Pink Elephant Necklace’s trunk grasps onto the pendant’s chain. Finely-crafted to capture animals’ instinctive movements, these jewellery pieces are designs to treasure. 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.”
