The Ulu knife was their main cutting tool and all-purpose knife used by the Eskimo's.   It was originally made from flat, thin, rocks, slate, or even jade. Handles were fashioned out of wood, ivory, or bone and often decorated with distinctive markings of the craftsman.   It is utilized in applications as diverse as skinning and cleaning animals, cutting a child's hair, cutting food, as a weapon and, if necessary, trimming blocks of snow and ice used to build an igloo.  

Pre-Historic Mammoth tusks are found as a bi - product of the gold mining industry in Alaska. They are carbon dated to be approximately 25,800 years old.  The color of your Mammoth tusk may vary due to the minerals in the ground water where the tusks are buried.  The varying color of the mammoth tusks make each piece of jewelry unique. Cracks and splits in antique mammoth tusks are a natural occurrence due to the age of the item.  Our materials are considered eco-friendly because no animals were harmed in the making of this one of a kind piece of jewelry.
