Carved Tusk Pendant with Emerald and Garnet in Silver

This is an intricate 4-inch long pendant featuring a natural organic tusk, carved with the stylized form of a reclining or curved figure. The tusk displays a creamy yellowish patina with visible longitudinal grain and natural age-related fissures, indicative of authentic organic material. The top of the pendant is mounted in a decorative silver cap featuring ornate granulation and scrollwork, housing a natural 4mm x 4mm table-cut emerald of a vibrant green hue. The metalwork is further embellished with a silver jump ring for suspension. The bottom of the tusk is encased in a secondary silver mount, also decorated with granular detail and filigree-style elements, which secures a natural 4mm x 4mm pyramid-cut garnet of a deep dark red tone. The silver components show a slight antiqued patina, suggesting significant age or an intentional oxidized finish to highlight the textural detail. The craftsmanship suggests a custom or artisan-made piece, likely reflecting an eclectic or Victorian-revival aesthetic. Condition appears good with some minor surface abrasions and natural drying lines in the tusk material, adding to its character without compromising structural integrity.
