About Ivory Jacks

Ivory Jacks has been family owned and operated for over 45 years; specializing in eco-conscious jewelry as well as knives and accessories made from prehistoric woolly mammoth ivory & tooth, fossil walrus ivory, and naturally shed moose antler. As a child, co-owner Kurt Tripp, would see mammoth tusks that had been unearthed by the spring floods on the banks of the Yukon River near his childhood home of Fairbanks, Alaska. In 1978 after working on the arctic oil fields of Prudhoe Bay, Alaska Kurt had finally accumulated enough capital to start Ivory Jacks alongside his wife and partner Francine. Ivory Jacks has grown over the years and currently carries over a thousand unique styles of jewelry, knives, cufflinks, ulus, carvings, and one of a kind pieces that celebrate the beauty and traditions of the high north.Read their story
