This discount is our way of acknowledging the effort and passion behind your hunting achievements, making your custom elk ivory jewelry even more meaningful.

The ivory teeth of an elk are a unique feature found in their upper jaw, situated right where the canines are typically located in other animals. Unlike other species, elk do not have any other front teeth in their upper jaw – just the ivories. These teeth are not only distinctive in their placement but are also steeped in tradition and history, making them highly sought after for custom jewelry creations.

When it's time to remove the ivories from your elk trophy, it's crucial to do so in a way that preserves their integrity, ensuring they can be beautifully transformed into jewelry. Here are some essential tips:

Do:

1. Work Gently at the Root: Start by working around the base of the tooth, where it meets the gum. Gently loosen the area around the root.
2. Use a Sturdy Knife: Employ a robust knife to carefully cut around the root, helping to ease the tooth out of the gum.
3. Pliers on the Root, If Necessary: If you need to use pliers, make sure to grip them around the root of the tooth to avoid damaging the visible part of the ivory.
4. Hammer and Wood Method: Another effective method is using a hammer and a block of wood. Place the wood near the root and gently tap with the hammer to gradually loosen the tooth.

Don't:

1. Avoid Pliers on the Tooth Top: Never grab the top, or visible part, of the tooth with pliers. This can cause damage or breakage, compromising the ivory's aesthetic value for jewelry.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your elk ivories are removed in the best possible condition, ready to be sent to us for crafting into a stunning piece of jewelry that celebrates your hunting success.

When you're ready to send your elk ivory to us for transformation into a beautiful piece of jewelry, it's important to pack and ship it properly to ensure it arrives safely. Here are our recommendations.

Do:

• Secure Wrapping: Begin by wrapping the ivory in paper towels or tissue paper. This provides a cushion to protect it during transit.
• Use a Sturdy Box: Place the wrapped ivory in a small, sturdy box. A jewelry box or a similar hard-case box is ideal.
• Insure Your Package: We recommend using a shipping service like USPS or FedEx and opting for insured shipping. This ensures that your valuable ivory is protected against loss or damage during transit.

Don't:

• Avoid Airtight Containers: Do not place the ivory in an airtight container. Ivories need to dry out naturally over a few days; an airtight environment can hinder this process.
• No Envelopes: Never send ivories in a standard envelope. Envelopes do not provide enough protection and significantly increase the risk of your ivory being lost or damaged.

By following these simple steps, you can rest assured that your elk ivory will reach us in the best condition, ready to be crafted into a stunning and memorable piece of jewelry.

Once your elk ivory tooth arrives at Park City Jewelers, it embarks on a journey of transformation, handled with the utmost care and expertise. Here's what happens:

1. Separating the Ivory: First, we carefully separate the top part of the tooth from the root, ensuring the ivory's integrity is maintained.
2. Refinement and Polishing: Any nicks or cracks in the ivory are expertly polished out. Our goal is to bring your ivory to a high gloss finish, highlighting its natural beauty and luster.
3. Customized Design: Unlike many other jewelers who might alter the ivory to fit a pre-existing design, we customize our jewelry designs to fit your ivory. This approach preserves the natural size and shape of your elk ivory, ensuring that the piece you receive remains true to its original form.
4. Craftsmanship from Start to Finish: Your elk ivory piece is handcrafted from start to finish by our skilled jewelry artisans. The tooth you send us is the one you get back, incorporated into a beautiful, personalized piece of jewelry.

The final color of your elk ivory tooth in our custom jewelry pieces is largely a matter of personal preference. Here's what you can expect:

• Natural Tawny Brown: Many hunters prefer the elk ivory's natural tawny brown shade, which showcases the authentic, rugged beauty of the ivory. This natural coloration is rich in character and aligns seamlessly with the jewelry's aesthetic.
• Enhanced Darker Tones: If you desire a deeper, more intense color, we offer a natural enhancer. This treatment is carefully applied to bring out the darker hues within the ivory, adding depth and a striking contrast to the finished piece.

At Park City Jewelers, we understand the importance of personalization. Whether you choose to retain the ivory's natural color or opt for an enhanced darker tone, we ensure the finished product reflects your individual style while honoring the unique character of the elk ivory.

We often receive queries about whether we purchase elk ivories from individuals. While we appreciate the interest, currently, we are not actively buying elk ivories. This policy is due to our ample existing inventory, which allows us to meet the demand without additional sourcing.

However, we understand that circumstances can change. In situations where we do consider purchasing ivories, our general price range is between $5 to $10 per ivory. This valuation depends on several factors, including the condition, size, and quality of the ivories.
