Fossil rings featuring ammonite fossil specimens bring prehistoric ocean life to your jewelry collection. These spiral-shaped cephalopods lived 66 to 400 million years ago, and each fossilized shell preserves the original chamber structure of the creature. Our collection includes 36,638 rings priced from $6 to $6302, all set in .925 sterling silver with genuine fossil specimens. Ammonite fossils rate 4-6 on the Mohs hardness scale, depending on the minerals that replaced the original shell during fossilization.

Ammonite fossils in jewelry typically date from 66 to 200 million years ago, with most specimens coming from the Cretaceous and Jurassic periods.
Ammonite fossils have moderate durability at 4-6 Mohs hardness. They suit regular wear but benefit from removal during heavy manual work or exposure to chemicals.
Iridescent ammonites, called ammolite when gem-grade, contain aragonite layers that diffract light. This occurs in specific geological conditions, primarily found in Alberta, Canada.
