Trilobite Earrings | Fossil Stud Earrings | Sterling Silver

The small Trilobite stud earrings are made using ancient ocean fossils, encased in sterling silver to create these fascinating pieces of fossil jewellery. 

Fossil jewellery is the perfect gift for palaeontologists and history lovers. Trilobites were the first dominant form of complex life on this planet, existing around 530 million years ago. 

Our Trilobite collection includes cufflinks, pendants and earrings.

Trilobite size: Length 12mm x Width 8mm
Materials: 530 million year old Trilobite fossil, encased in sterling silver with sterling silver ear wire

Trilobites were intricately complex and beautiful animals, which is why their fossilised remains are highly coveted. These hard-shelled, segmented creatures existed over 520 million years ago in the ancient seas of Earth and were extinct long before dinosaurs appeared.

Our silver work showcases a variety of unique trilobites from Utah, USA, dating back to the Cambrian Period, which lasted from 538 million to 485 million years ago.

In addition to dinosaur fossils, trilobites have a dedicated and passionate following among scientists and fossil collectors. They are related to modern spiders, insects, and crabs.
