Ammonites are the most widely known fossil: they are cephalopods and first appeared in the seas 415 million years ago in the form of a straight shelled creature known as Bacrites. All species of ammonites became extinct at the end of the Cretaceous Period. Ammonite fossils are found on every continent and come in every naturally occurring color.
I've created several pendants using Ammonites since I've begun making wire wrapped jewelry...here are a few pictures of the latest commission for one. It's mostly 14K Gold wire with Sterling Silver beads of two different sizes. It's pictured with some of the hand painted boxes as well!
