This is a vintage elephant pendant necklace, hand carved from celluloid to mimic real ivory (or bone). The pendant is hand-carved from warm creamy faux ivory celluloid — that early plastic that was made to mimic real ivory so beautifully. You can see the care that went into the carving: the trunk, ears, and body have nice crisp details that give it real character. It hangs on a 24-inch beaded braid that sits perfectly at the right spot on your neckline. The celluloid has a soft, gentle glow and that lovely aged patina you only get on older pieces. It's surprisingly comfortable to wear and fits particularly well with bohemian and island inspired outfits.
