"Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get - only what you are expecting to give - which is everything."
Katherine Hepburn
Express your love with rings of ageless Fossil Ivory. Our Fossil Ivory Braided Edge Wedding Band or Commitment Ring is an unbroken circle of Fossilized Ivory lined with a Sterling Silver or 14KT Solid Yellow Gold inner ring. Nestled on one side next to the Ivory is a continuous wide braided rope of Sterling Silver or 14KT Gold. The inner ring also comes up the second side of the Ivory circle for durability. Shown in Fossil Walrus - Medium Light Ivory With Some Crystalline.
Of course, handmade especially for you in our studio. These rings are not returnable. Together through the ages: When you purchase two of our Wedding or Committment Bands, both bands will be made from the same ancient piece of Fossilized Ivory.

The traditional fourteenth wedding anniverary gift is Ivory! We're here to help!
Each piece is handmade in our studio and signed. Marvin Cohen is widely recognized as one of America's leading scrimshanders, as well as a creative designer specializing in custom and semi-custom knifemaking, jewelry wearables and objects that - illustrate traditional Arctic region Native American tales and myths,
- reinterpret ancient shamanistic images, and
- translate the spiritual aspects of earth, water and sky into meaningful and personal contemporary wearables.
We stand ready to scrimshaw anything you would like on any of our pieces - animals, ship's and family portraits, landscapes, nautical scenes, hunting scenes, etc. We do many special order commission pieces from blazer buttons, knitting needles (knitters take note!), fountain pens, corkscrews, pistol grips, ball point pens and mechanical pencils, desk accessories, Fossil Ivory ship models, ship half hulls, Nantucket and Lightship Baskets, to custom whole Sperm Whale Teeth or whole Walrus Tusks. We also handcraft fossil ivory sailing/nautical trophies to order. We can personalize any piece with a scrimshawed name and initials at no extra charge. (Email us with any queries.

The available colors of our high quality Fossilized Ivories are shown below. (Please allow for some color variation in these natural materials.) Our wonderful Ivories have been reclaimed from the ground after sharing the earth for up to 30 millennia! Even after all this time, Fossil Ivory remains warm and sensuous organic ivory; it is not petrified. It has developed its beautiful colors by taking up minerals from the earth and these colors are impossible to match in any contemporary ivories by modern processes. In time, the Fossil Ivories you wear or use will take on very personal hues from your contact. They will become a part of you.
 Please Note: Since these colors are rare, some are not always available for every item. Please see each item for available color choices.
These are our scrimshaw Design Etchings. In addition to these designs, as an added option, you may send us a picture of your choice for a commission price quote.
