Description
A 110-Million-Year-Old Statement Pendant

It is framed in sterling silver with a solid silver back.

The Story in the Stone
- Ammonites were relatives of today's nautilus and octopus. They swam the oceans for over 300 million years before dying out with the dinosaurs.
- Madagascar's ammonites date from the Cretaceous period, around 110 million years ago.
- Their name comes from the Egyptian god Amun, shown with coiled ram's horns.
- Spiritually, the spiral stands for growth, change and moving forward.
- Fun fact: in Whitby, ammonites were once called "snakestones", said to be snakes turned to stone by St Hilda.
A Gift With Meaning
- Fossil hunters, geologists and Jurassic Coast lovers
- Milestone birthdays, retirements and new beginnings

How to Wear It
A statement piece that suits a longer 24" or 30" chain to enhance its size as it is a statement necklace. The pictures show it being worn on the complementary 18" trace chain on a 5ft 3" model. Camel, olive, rust and denim bring out its warm colouring.
