Fossil jewelry brings prehistoric life into wearable form. Each piece in this collection features genuine fossilized specimens—ammonites, orthoceras, coral, and other ancient organisms preserved over millions of years—set in solid .925 sterling silver. These are real fossils, formed 50 to 400 million years ago during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras. We source specimens with clear structural detail and natural mineral replacement patterns. With 44 pieces priced from $650 to $2731, this collection represents some of our most substantial work.

Fossil jewelry contains genuine fossilized remains of prehistoric organisms—shells, coral, bone, or wood—that have been mineralized over millions of years. These natural specimens are cut, polished, and set in metal settings like sterling silver.
Most fossils used in jewelry range from 50 million to 400 million years old. Ammonites date to the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, while orthoceras and trilobites come from the older Paleozoic era.
Fossilized specimens rate between 5 and 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, similar to opal or agate. With proper bezel settings to protect edges, fossil jewelry holds up well for regular wear with reasonable care.
