Fossil Ammonite Earrings, Large Brown Stone Cephalopod Jewelry

From the maker

Large fossil ammonite earrings, with the brown chambers of the animal surrounded by light caramel/cream lines, all in a spiral. The unique patterns are completed by the quartz crystal visible in most sections. Very unusual to have the mix of two shades! Also note the multi-coloured opalization on the backs. Ammonites were ancient cephalopods, animals related to modern squid. These fossils are many millions of years old, and were discovered in Morocco. These are large and heavy earrings, so they aren’t suitable for everyone. Each stone is about 40 mm (over 1 1/2 inches) long, weighing 15-17 grams (nearly 3/5 of an ounce) with the surgical steel hook and silver-plated casing. Surgical steel is hypoallergenic, perfect for people with metal allergies.

Brown Ammonite Necklace, Invertebrate Fossil Pendant

$24.00

A large ammonite necklace in shades of brown, with some chambers filled with excellent quartz, and some multi-colour opalization on the back (although it refused to photograph well). This fossil pendant is the remains of an ancient cephalopod, preserved in stone forever. Do you own anything that is millions of years old? This is your chance!

The wire wrapped bail is sterling silver, and all other metals are silver plated, including the handcut chain which ends in a self-closing clasp. These clasps are the perfect solution for anyone who struggles with normal lobster clasps - so easy to open!

The fossil is over 1 inch (2.7 cm) long and nearly the same (2.4 cm) across.

Ammonite Necklace, Fossil Pendant, Sterling Silver

$45.00

This ammonite necklace is a paleontology fan's dream; a large fossil wire-wrapped in sterling silver, and a sterling silver necklace chain. Ammonites were cephalopod sea creatures that lived many millions of years ago; this specimen is from Morocco. The fossil continues through on the back of the stone. This ammonite is one of the largest on my website, at about 3.7 cm (almost 1 1/2 inches) long. The sterling silver cable chain is 18 inches (46 cm) long and ends in a sterling silver lobster clasp. Want a different chain length? Just contact me before you check out, and I can change it for you.

Small Ammonite Necklace, Sterling Cable Chain

$39.00

The smallest ammonite necklace I have available, a brown cephalopod fossil in wrapped in sterling silver, with opalized colours around the centre and some (rare) blue specks on one side. Fossil jewelry at its best! Ammonites lived millions of years ago; a few have been preserved in stone through geological processes. This specimen is a fine piece, with colour on both centres, mostly green and red. My resident paleontologist also said it had "nice sutures" (the lines visible on the shell). Please look at both of the photos to see both sides. I wire wrapped the stone in sterling silver, and strung it on a thin sterling cable chain 16 inches (40 cm) long (longer chains are also available). The silver chain ends in a simple spring ring clasp. The fossil stone is 1 inch (2.5 cm) in length, and is fairly lightweight (just 1/7 of an ounce, or 4 grams, with the wire bail).

Canadian Ammolite Pendant: Rainbow Gemstone, Silver Fossil Jewelry

from $44.00

Genuine Canadian ammolite pendants in multiple colours, on sterling silver chains. Ammolite is the only official organic gemstone, fossilized ammonite shell only found in Alberta, Canada. I currently have 3 pendants available: green with purple & blue, about 4/5 of an inch (20 mm) long, first 3 photos

red with orange & green, over 2/3 of an inch (1.9 cm) long, photos 4-6

green with orange, over 1/2 an inch (1.4 cm) long, photos 7-9

Each stone will vary in colour depending on the angle; note how the last pendant appears to be mostly green until you turn it slightly, then the orange comes through very strongly. The ammolite is set in sterling silver, plated in rhodium to prevent tarnish. The chains are 16 inches (41 cm), 18 inches (56 cm) or 20 inches (61 cm) long, and are entirely sterling silver; see the spring ring clasp in the last photo. The gemstone sits on flat slate for protection, visible on the back of the pendant as shown in photo 6. I have more ammolite pieces in stock that I have yet to photograph, so please contact me if you are interested in different colour combinations. Learn more about ammolite here, and check out my photo of a full specimen here, from the Royal Tyrell Museum.

Opalized Ammonite Pendant, Fossil Shell Jewelry

$35.00

This shimmering opalized ammonite pendant has colour on both sides - mostly red with a bit of green and gold. Ammonites are fossil shell cephalopods from millions of years ago, & the lengthy fossilization process, with the presence of certain substances, creates the iridescent coating you see in the photos. This fossil is 3.9 cm long, 2.7 cm wide, & 1.1 cm at the thickest point (over 1 1/2 by over 1 by almost 1/2 an inch). The bail was handmade by me using sterling silver wire, twisted through the drill hole near the top of the ammonite. A basic silver-plated chain is included, in the length of your choice. The auto-close clasp is shown in the final photo.

Large Ammonite Earrings, Fossil Nautilus Jewelry

from $27.99

Large ammonite earrings, genuine fossilized cephalopods from eons ago, turned to stone by geological processes and time. Each pair of earrings is comprised of 1 fossil split in half, with the inner chambers exposed. Some pairs have colourful opalization on the backs as shown in the final 2 photos.

The fossils are encased in silver plate & hang from surgical steel ear hooks, which are hypoallergenic. Each pair of earrings is unique; you will receive a pair similar to the photos. They hang between 2.6 & 4.2 cm (1 inch to 1 2/3 inches) from the hooks. My current pairs of larger earrings are mostly above 3.5 cm.

Fossil Ammonite Jewelry, Sterling Silver Necklace

$44.00

Genuine ammonite fossil with a sterling silver bail and chain. This gorgeous pendant necklace specimen makes beautiful geek jewellery! A really nice cephalopod fossil, hailing from Morocco. While some people call these nautilus fossils, an ammonite is more closely related with modern squid. This creature is brown, the common hue for ammonites. The pendant stone is over 1 1/2 inches (4 cm) long, & around 1 1/3 inches (3.3 cm) across. I've added a sterling silver chain 18 inches (51 cm) long, but you can also choose a different length.
