pair of 14k mounted Elk tooth hat pins very rare elk tooth hat pins in solid 14k gold mounts and pins.

Elk ivory is the rarest jewelry component in the world. Often referred to
as the "pearl of the west", elk ivory has been found among artifacts
5,000 years old. Native Americans often used elk teeth as a decorative element
in jewelry and clothing. The first confirmed elk ivory ornaments in the U.S.
were unearthed at the Fort Yates archeological dig in south central North Dakota,
along the Missouri river, dating back roughly 530 years. Elk teeth are still
used in decoration today and can make a unique, one of a kind jewelry piece.

Elk eat grass and twigs, but they have two teeth in their upper palate made for tearing meat. The upper canines - known as the "ivories" - are evolutionary
misfits with no purpose, said Bob Garrott, a Montana State University-Bozeman professor of ecology

. "All mammals evolve to have incisors, canines, premolars and molars," he said. "As they evolve, their teeth slowly modify to their diets."

Since the stone age, these bulbs of ivory have caught the attention of hunters. They were different, polished, smooth. Some historians think they
were among the earliest forms of jewelry.

Crow tradition once required successful hunters to give away the ivories to members of their hunting party who didn't down an elk.

When a man killed his first elk, the ivories were saved for a necklace for his bride or for his daughter.

Although usually only for special occasions, most Crow women continue to wear a beaded necklace with the two special elk teeth.
The white settlers soon noticed the white nuggets of bone prized by the Crow, Cheyenne, Lakota and other tribes across the High Plains.

During the market hunting era, about 100 years ago, there are records of mass slaughters of elk specifically to collect their ivories, Garrott said. Many of the teeth ended up in the watch fobs of Elks Club members.
