Handmade Fossil Jewelry
The fossils used in my jewelry range from the Paleozoic Era
( 543 to 248 million years ago - the baculites) through the
Silurian Age (+400 million years old - cephalopods) and the
Jurassic Period (+140 million years ago - ammonites) to the
Cretaceous Period (144 to 65 million years ago - also, ammonites).
Ammonites,
fossilized coral, baculites, cephalopods
and Petoskey
stone fossils make beautiful and unique jewelry.

Facts, Information and Pictures
* Most pendant jewelry is made as pin/pendants and comes
with a removable bail so the piece may be worn as either a brooch/pin
or as a pendant.

The colors of most fossils are usually black, brown, cream and
beige, but sometimes fossilized coral forms in bright colors - reds
and pinks, some blue and green.
If preservation conditions are correct, shells become fossilized.
As light enters this shell it is refracted and reflected as if passed
through a prism. This is how the iridescent property is produced.
