Ocean essence

This stunning pendant captures a moment in time, preserving the iridescent beauty of Earth’s ancient seas. The top stone, a fiery chunk of Ammolite, gleams with shifting hues of deep red and bronze, a testament to millions of years of mineralization. Below, a beautifully preserved Ammonite fossil—its spiral form cradled in 14k gold—echoes the mysteries of prehistoric oceans.

Though Ammolite and Ammonite originate from the same fossilized marine mollusk, they are distinguished by their transformation over time. Ammonites, extinct relatives of the modern nautilus, thrived in Earth’s oceans for over 350 million years before vanishing alongside the dinosaurs. Their remains, buried beneath layers of sediment, underwent a remarkable alchemical shift. In rare cases, the shells fossilized into Ammolite, an opalescent gem found almost exclusively in the Bearpaw Formation of Alberta, Canada. This organic gemstone’s vibrant play of color is a result of compressed aragonite, the same mineral that forms pearls, combined with trace minerals unique to its geological resting place.

This pendant embodies the dance of time—organic meets opulent, history meets artistry. The silver setting provides a timeless frame, while the warm embrace of 14k gold around the Ammonite adds an elegant contrast. A relic of ancient seas, reimagined into wearable art, it carries whispers of prehistoric tides and the transformation of life into legend.
