Trilobite Czech Glass Fossil Earrings

- Long Boho Dangles, Picture Jasper & Bone Beads -

These unique long dangle earrings feature Czech glass fossil trilobites, picture jasper beads, and carved bone beads. The trilobite beads are delightful little off-white creations, about 5/8th of an inch long, with earthy brown Picasso finishing. The latter brings out the trilobite body's details, such as its striations and eyes. Handmade in the Czech Republic, these glass beads each have something unique about them—no two are exactly alike because they are not machine-made. The pair of trilobites I've used here are both quite handsome and complement each other nicely.

Perfect for anyone who loves tribal and boho styling, these handmade dangles also include:

• Picture jasper gemstone rounds (6mm)
• Bone tube beads with a tribal design of incised strokes (handmade in India)
• Japanese seed beads (hidden inside the   
   tube beads to stabilize them)
• Small bone spacers
• TierraCast copper plated daisy spacers 
   (made in USA)
• Copper rondelle spacers (3mm)
• Natural copper color wire (made in USA)
• Copper earring hooks

Their length, including ear wires, is about 2.75 inches.

Fun, dangly, and eye-catching, these glass fossil trilobite earrings were handmade by me with care, thought, and best wishes for the destined wearer. They come on a PrettyGonzo card and in a nice organza bag, all wrapped up for gifting to someone who loves fossils and geology, or simply appreciates unique boho tribal styling. Perhaps that someone is you!

ABOUT TRILOBITES
These fascinating primitive creatures abundantly populated Earth's ancient seas during the Paleozoic era, from 542 to 251 million years ago. Their ancestors originated about 90 million years before that. Anthropods in nature, trilobites survive only in fossilized form now, but are found in many places around the globe. These fossils are highly interesting, with the striations of the creature's triple-segmented exoskeletons often clearly preserved. As trilobites would shed these external skeletons as they grew, many exoskeletons themselves became fossilized. Also, most trilobites had eyes, whose placement can often be detected in the fossils as well.

Because of such details, trilobite fossils actually seem to have personalities! Perhaps that's one reason why ancient people were apparently as fascinated with them as many folks are today. At one human settlement in France, dating back 15 thousand years, archeologists unearthed a trilobite fossil that had been used as an amulet. The Czech glass trilobites used in this listing's earrings may not be fossils, but they certainly have personality and nicely evoke this marine creature and the primeval world.
