Everything Old is Really Old Again

Jewelry lovers are always seeking out the newest discovered gemstone. That's exciting. Because it's always a thrill to learn what hidden treasures this old earth can still give up. In this fervor, we must also take an occasional look back to see what ancient goodies we may have overlooked.

NEW IDEA FOR AN OLD STONE
Take for instance, this horn cuff. It's embellished with a wonderfully formed ammonite fossil slab plus a finish of citrine for pizazz.

REALLY REALLY OLD
Above shows a group of fossilized ammonite, an early spiral shaped sea-loving life form uncovered near Sommerset, England. These ammonite are commonly found in rocks in various parts of the world,  aged 200-66 million years old.

ANY SIZE YOU CAN THINK OF
They are discovered in small sizes as shown in the above bracelet and massove sized archeological trophies.

Personalized jewelry should express the interests and preferences of the wearer--besides her style. Consider looking back to our earth's ancient beginnings for some fascinating gemstone choices!
