Fossil Jewelry in Sterling Silver
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.

Ancient Earth History Set in .925 Silver Settings
Fossils form through permineralization, where organic material is replaced by minerals like silica, calcite, or pyite over geological time. This process preserves the original structure while creating stone-like durability suitable for jewelry. Most specimens in this collection rate between 5 and 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, depending on the replacing mineral. Our fossil pieces come from documented geological sites in Morocco, Madagascar, and the American Southwest. Ammonite fossils display the characteristic spiral shell of these extinct cephalopods, relatives of modern nautilus. Orthoceras specimens show the elongated cone shape of ancient squid ancestors. Petrified coral reveals the honeycomb patterns of reef-building organisms from shallow prehistoric seas. Each setting uses solid .925 sterling silver, with bezels designed to protect fossil edges while displaying maximum surface detail. We have shipped fossil jewelry with free US delivery since 2005.

What is fossil jewelry made from?
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.
How old are fossils used in jewelry?
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.
Is fossil jewelry durable enough for regular wear?
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.
