Her title simply means "Lady," her original name is not known. Freyja is the daughter of Njord and Nerthus, as well as the sister of Freyr. She was once married to Odr, but he disappeared. She is the principle female fertility Goddess of the native Germanic religion, and a goddess of riches, her tears are gold and whose "daughters," in the riddle-poetry of the skalds, are precious objects. she is the embodiment of the holy life-force on several levels. She was the most beautiful and desirable of all goddesses, who possessed the worlds most beautiful piece of jewelry: the Brisingamen ("Bright necklace") necklace which embodies her power over the material world; the necklace has been the emblem of the earth-goddess since the earliest times. Along with the necklace, she owned a cloak of feathers which gave her the ability to change her shape into a falcon and fly across the worlds. Freyja looks great beaded using a cream leather cord, ivory beads, silver and Amber or colored glass beads half way up the cord for a natural compliment to the fossil ivory.   In January 2009, eBay will no longer allow the sale of Mammoth Fossil Ivory even though it is Legal and you may trade Mammoth fossil ivory anywhere in the world as it is an extinct species and needs NO permit to sell from Cites or US Fish and Game. Fossil Ivory is one of the best alternative approaches to the illegal ivory trade. Offering Legal ivory.  With international stores now selling on eBay the "no conscious" people are not abiding by the rules or have any consciousness. It appears that they may be selling Elephant ivory and not fossil and in fact animal parts that are not legal.  EBay can submit a fossil ivory to a DNA test or trust the seller and obviously they cannot test every product. I trust my seller who is an American living in Alaska for 30 years and trading in fossil ivory.  I buy only Mammoth as Walrus is still a living species and I want to make sure it's legal fossil.
