Our unique fashion jewelry is recognized throughout the world for the creative use of ancient, fossilized ivory. Jenny Byrne, Zealandia's creator, combines elements from nature with spiritual and mythological art, creating statement pieces that honor the natural materials they are made of. Our sterling silver jewelry combines 14kt gold fill, ancient mammoth ivory, fossilized walrus tusk, semi-precious stones, ammonites, mother of pearl, black mussel and paua shell. Each piece of jewelry is individually hand crafted in Bali, Indonesia. Due to variations in both the fossil colors and the carvers style, each piece of ivory jewelry is unique.

At Zealandia Designs we go to the ends of the earth to create our sterling silver jewelry. Handling a piece of ancient mammoth ivory reminds one how quickly magnificent creatures such as the mammoth can disappear from the earth. Many of Zealandia's pieces feature polar bears and sea turtles, also on the brink of extinction.

The distinctive character and growing rarity of fossilized ivory makes it an excellent investment. Because of the limited supply of mammoth and walrus ivory, Jenny is inspired to use this precious resource to create works of art that will outlast fashion jewelry trends, be cherished for the beautiful creatures they represent, and be handed down as treasured heirlooms. Each piece of Zealandia jewelry is a truly lasting, one of a kind, piece of art. Browse our timeless collection of earrings, necklaces, pendants, bracelets and charms featuring both totemic and classic imagery.
