I am Lee True Hulcher and I have been an Alaskan Ivory Carver, since 1987, with over 15,000 pieces of Jewelry made. Most of the Fossil Ivory I use is found in Alaskan Gold Mines, but some comes from Siberia or Canada as well. There is a huge quantity of Mammoth Ivory found every year, and with the permafrost melting, it is just a matter of time before we lose this wonderful natural resource. All of my jewelry is made from 100% legally obtained Fossil Ivories, and may contain Authentic Gemstones, raw Gold Nuggets, (from my own mine) or exotic woods from around the world.
