Copper Ammonite Necklace, Spiral Unakite Peridot Coral Handmade Jewelry


copper ammonite and gemstone jewelry handmade gift for her

The "Whispers of Time" handmade necklace features an artisan copper ammonite pendant, unakite, copal and peridot gemstones - unique jewelry for women.


Filled with amazing earthy elegance, the WHISPERS OF TIME handmade necklace is a perfect gift for the woman who loves to wear stylish artisan jewelry. The one of a kind necklace features an artisan created copper ammonite spiral pendant, unakite barrels, green peridot nuggets and pale pink coral drums. The gorgeous ammonite pendant was handcrafted from beginning to end from precious copper metal clay.  The solid copper pendant was patinated and polished to bring out the incredible detail. An actual ammonite, from 240 - 65 million years old, was used to make the mold for the pendant! As you can see in the photos, the ammonite gracefully ridged spirals.  A ridged bail at the top of the pendant attaches it to the main body of the necklace.  Three types of gemstones perfectly complement the pendant: unakite, peridot and coral. The colors of the barrel-shaped unakite are very earthy: mostly shades of mottled green with dark terracotta accents, although a few beads are mostly terracotta with a few sprinkles of green. To lighten the color of the design, pale pink coral drums are scattered throughout the necklace, capped by copper spacers and green peridot nuggets. The coral is faceted so provides subtle sparkle to the necklace. The green peridot are nugget-shaped so they are similar in size but not exactly. The peridot is also faceted for more glitter.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the unique WHISPERS OF TIME necklace is a perfect gift for the woman who loves fossils or just adores wearing one of a kind artisan designer jewelry.

    1. Many thanks, Mary! Love unakite, too - a favorite although it seems harder to get really good quality gemstones these days. Treats to the Sweet Kitty from Birthday Boy Moose (who is ignoring his birthday braided rawhide treat).
