Sharks are older than trees. It’s true. Sharks have existed for 450 million years whereas the earliest species that we could classify as a “tree,” the now-extinct Archaeopteris, lived around 350 million years ago in forests where the Sahara desert is now.

Sharks are one of the only animals to have survived four of the five mass extinctions. They symbolize power and protection. Wear these dainty yet ferocious stud earrings as a symbol of strength and preservation.
