Not the bear, not the wolf - the deer, according to ancient Celtic tradition, is the king of animals and forests; his strength made it necessary to measure who wanted to become the leader.

Red and fallow deer still live in our forests; with a little luck, you can see one of them on forest walks.

Deer bones have a rather cool, quiet presence. They connect with the forest, with the present, with an attentive force.

Carving female figures out of mammoth ivory is a millennia-old tradition. The oldest found figure is about 35,000 years old! Such a piece of unique jewelry can convey to the wearer something of the power of the mighty beast; the roundish female figure is a symbol of the abundance of nature and the request to participate in this abundance. So it can also be described as hunting magic, in a broader sense as a success amulet.

Moreover, the historical role models in these bone carvings - mostly fat, older women - point to social fertility that goes beyond the physical: the older woman, no longer engaged in child-raising, becomes free again for the community, with her own personal knowledge and ability can engage in a more comprehensive, far-sighted way and is free in her power.

Mammoth ivory has an energizing and warm effect. This kind of handmade jewelry can be worn well on bare skin.

Each jewelry design is a unique piece, hand-drawn and worked.
