Are you celebrating National Fossil Day this October? Fossils tell us so much about the Earth's history, and are an important part of our journey on this planet. Read on to find out how, on this day, we celebrate these natural treasures and explore the growing trend of fossil jewellery, where pieces of our past become wearable art. Whether you are looking for Christmas jewellery gift inspiration or simply want to learn more about how to incorporate your fossil pieces into your outfit to celebrate this day – we’ve got you covered.
Why do Fossils Matter?
Fossils tell the story of life on Earth, detailing to us how species have adapted, evolved, or even gone extinct – plus, they are super fascinating. They allow us to piece together the ecosystems around us and understand the shifts that have occurred throughout time. Each and every fossil is a piece of history and holds valuable information about the planet we live on – everything from the dinosaurs to the ice age!
So, what is National Fossil Day? It is an annual event dedicated to emphasising the scientific and educational significance of palaeontology and the importance of preserving fossils for future generations. On this day, it’s important to recognise that fossils are not just for scientists – they are for all of us. Including all of our fossil enthusiasts, collectors and, yes, even our jewellery lovers.
Fossils in Fashion: The Rise of Fossil Jewellery
With National Fossil Day upon us, it’s the perfect time to look at fossil jewellery and how, in recent years, it has risen in popularity as jewellery lovers, like us, look for unique and meaningful pieces, whether they are for ourselves or as gifts. Each and every fossil tells its own story. Take our Ammonite Cufflinks for example – each exquisite pair of fossil cufflinks is crafted from a genuine ammonite sourced from Madagascar. The fossil, approximately 150 million years old, is carefully sliced in half to create a pair of fossils that beautifully reveal the intricate inner structure and natural elegance of this ancient specimen. Imagine carrying a piece of history around on your wrist – fossil cufflinks allow you to do just that.
Our Meteorite Rings are also perfect for those who appreciate nature and history. While fossils connect us to Earth’s ancient past, meteorite jewellery offers a glimpse into the universe beyond. Gifts from outer space –our Muonionalusta Meteorite rings, set in sterling silver, offer a one-of-a-kind present for geologists and space enthusiasts alike, combining the allure of the cosmos with timeless craftsmanship.
