Rook Bracelet

The Rook is a gorgeous mid-size bracelet that features multiple sterling links, inlaid with fossil wooly mammoth tooth. The mammoth tooth dates back 10K+ years and is found on the seafloor by divers in select locations worldwide. After it dries for two years, William Henry begins cutting and hand-inlaying each piece into the sterling links. Finally, the ‘Rook’ closes with its piston clasp inlaid with a genuine citrine gemstone. This piece, and the fossils it reveals, offers the rare chance to build the William Henry shared history into your own legacy.

FOSSIL MAMMOTH TOOTH

The Rook is made with a tooth from a Woolly Mammoth that walked the Earth at least 10,000 years ago.
Modern humans coexisted with woolly mammoths during the Upper Paleolithic period when they entered Europe from Africa between 30,000 and 40,000 years ago. Prior to this, Neanderthals had coexisted with mammoths during the Middle Paleolithic and up to that time. Woolly mammoths were very important to Ice Age humans, and their survival might have depended on these animals in some areas.

The woolly mammoth is the next most depicted animal in Ice Age art after horses and bison. Today, more than five hundred depictions of woolly mammoths are known, in media ranging from carvings and cave paintings located in 46 caves in Russia, France, and Spain, to sculptures and engravings made from different materials.

William Henry’s fossil Mammoth tooth is harvested in Alaska and Siberia. It is a rare and mesmerizing material, a living testimony of the dawn of Mankind.
