A pair of natural ammonite fossil earrings, which are elegantly wire wrapped in sterling silver wire. The geometric fossils are accented with tasteful swirls and spirals to complement the natural spiral form of the stone. The earrings are hung on sterling silver ear-wires and packaged in a hand-stamped gift box.
Ammonites are fascinating sea creatures that went extinct over 60 million years ago; their closest living relative is the nautilus. The segments that form the spiraling pattern are chambers that were filled or emptied with water to allow the creature to control its buoyancy. The beautiful chambers also have proportions that fit the Fibonacci sequence, which is a list of numbers where every number is the sum of the previous two, creating a spiral. The Fibonacci sequence is considered an example of "sacred geometry", and the sequence can also be found many other places in nature (such as the proportions of pinecones and sunflowers).
SIZE: Each earring is ~ 1.6" x 0.7" at widest points.
ANCIENT OCEAN COLLECTION: Numerous other fossil jewelry options are available in the new Ancient Ocean Collection, including the pendant shown in the last photo. Use the link above to browse the latest collection to see Kosmic Krystals’ new selection of ammonite and fossil coral jewelry.
EAR WIRES: The earrings are hung on sterling silver ear wires, which are generally non-irritating. However, if you know you are allergic to sterling silver, I can change the ear wires to titanium or surgical steel. Please, just leave a message at checkout.
CLEANING: Silver will naturally darken, or tarnish, due to reactions with sulfides in the air. Each piece of Kosmic Krystals' silver jewelry comes with a non-tarnish strip and bag that prevents absorbing and trapping the sulfides and other pollutants in the air. If kept in a sealed bag or jewelry box with your silver jewelry the strip will prevent tarnishing for approximately 6 months. Ammonites should not be cleaned using any harsh silver or gemstone cleaners. Some tarnish can be removed with a polishing cloth, but deeper areas cannot be reached. However, this natural patina can give the piece an interesting antiqued look. Any dirt and debris can be easily removed with a gentle toothbrush and warm soapy water.
