Chess Set - Egyptian Style - Soap Stone (Sold)
The customer wanted a unique chess set in black/and sand color, with Egyptian Gods and warriors. It took about 3 month to make and she loved it! I used soap stone and a dremel tool, studied all the Egyptian Gods and we made a decision together how every piece has to look like. It was a fun project and ever since I love to carve ancient/historic chess sets…she was a great inspiration for me! If you have a chess set in mind - lets talk about it!

I owe my carving career to my mother. She made me peel potatoes when I was a kid and bored with the task I made little figures and animals. She allowed me to practice - and ate without complains a lot of mashed potatoes during this time…
For some time I carved stone and wood until one day, about 30 years ago, someone sold me a piece of fossil mammoth tusk at a flea market. This opened a new world of possibilities and beauty for me and ever since I am in love with this wonderful material.
I had never thought of me being an ivory carver for I am an elephant lover and fiercely protective of them. But the woolly mammoth are long gone and carving their tusks helps to protect the few precious elephants we still have.
You can order custom made jewelry, spiritual art, statues, bookmarks, cufflinks, knifes, historic chess sets and/or you can make me realize your own design. As you can see I can work within a great variety of styles. You can chose between Fossil Mammoth, Bone, Tagua Nut, Leather, Wood, Silver, Bronze, Copper and Steel, Amber, Mother of Pearl, Warthog Tusk - or a combination of all!
I am happy to help you to bring your creations and ideas to life. We will communicate and work together and create beautiful pieces of art that express your personality and/or your feelings toward a person you love.
If you decide to want ivory I guarantee very piece will be made from legal Mammoth. Every piece I have has been found in the permafrost 20 years ago. There will be no replenishing of that supply.
No elephant or endangered species was ever been killed or harmed for my art!
Thank you for visiting my shop. My very best wishes for you and your loved ones!

Aug 27, 2015Working with Andrita has been a pleasure. She took my very basic description of the the bracelet I wanted and made it into something so special. She took the time to understand how I wanted the bracelet to look and even suggested ideas that made it way better. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase and it was an honor working with Andrita and Raven's Jewelry Art

Nov 25, 2015I could not be happier with both the necklace and the very talented creator. My expectations have been more than exceeded! Andrita listened to exactly what I wanted and contributed her own expertise and passion to make an amazing piece. She truly cared about my project as if it were her own, and went above and beyond in the level of detail and the speed of completion. I will be returning to RavensJewelryArt for all of my future needs.

Jun 8, 2019I had the eye of XANA pendant made and I could not be happier with the quality of the pendant. It is a nice sterling silver with a amethyst gem in the center. Working with Andrita was great. She responded quickly to my messages and the item delivery was insanely quick for a custom made item. Three days. Thank you Andrita ?
