Bill Diment - Prehistoric Mastodon Mammoth Ivory Carved Jewelry

Bill was born and raised in Dawson City, Yukon. He learned his craft from his father, Richard (Dick) Diment, who was well known in Canada's North for his ivory jewelry. Bill became a skilled ivory carver and craftsman in his own right. Retired from a career as a mining engineer, he and his wife Marion live in the Yukon outside of Whitehorse. In their northern workshop Marion assists Bill in crafting his uniquely Canadian ivory carving jewelry.

Each piece of Bill's jewelry is delicately hand carved from prehistoric wooly mammoth and/or mastodon ivory and enhanced with polished 14 K gold and/or natural gold nuggets. This hand carved jewelry is then carefully polished to reveal the special luster that is characteristic of naturally finished ivory.
