Ammonite Fossil Pendant Necklace, Riverstone Copper Handmade Jewelry


fossil ammonite necklace with riverstone and copper

The "Earth Whispers" handmade necklace features a genuine ammonite fossil pendant, pale riverstone gemstone beads and copper - unique jewelry gift for women.


If only this fossil ammonite pendant could talk, what a story it could tell! The EARTH WHISPERS necklace is a wonderfully unique, one of a kind necklace featuring an ancient spiraling ammonite fossil pendant, pale riverstone rounds and copper. Ammonites, named by Pliny the Elder after the Egyptian ram-horned god called Ammon, lived in the oceans and seas between 240 - 65 million years ago, becoming extinct along with the dinosaurs. The genuine white and grey ammonite fossil shows up beautifully against the brown mother rock - the individual chambers and natural spiral design of the ammonite can clearly be seen. The ammonite is not exactly centered on the somewhat dome shaped pendant, it’s more to the left side, adding great interest. To perfectly highlight the ammonite fossil, pale riverstone gemstones rounds were used for the main body of the necklace. Riverstone is a sedimentary rock, a form of limestone formed from quartz, calcium carbonate and other materials. Riverstone is naturally an opaque creamy color and can have dark spots and swirls. The riverstone was placed in groups of three or five rounds with copper bicones and single stones separating some of the groups.  Perfect to wear with your casual clothes, it also will be a stunning piece of jewelry to wear with a little black dress. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the EARTH WHISPERS necklace will definitely set you apart from the normal, run of the mill jewelry-wearing crowd!
