Ancient Seas #7 — An Ammonite and Ammolite Statement Ring in Oxidized Sterling Silver — Size 9

Buried in some ancient muddy waters long before Man. A Black Ammonite unearthed, and then enhanced with a rainbow effect of Ammolite inlay.

I have taken this ancient reminder and set it in fine silver, backed on hand textured sterling, and have oxidized it using a non-jewelers chemical method. The colors, aged imperfectly as silver does naturally over time in our World.

A Polished Nephrite Jade and oxidized silver accents flank one the side of the Ammonite to complete the piece.

The face of this substantial statement ring is 1 inch wide by 1.2 inches in height. Please note in the video you will see an inconsistency when the light hits the ammonite (around the 3 o’clock position). This inconsistency is not compromising the integrity of the ammonite.

This shows as a 8 1/2 on the ring mandrel, but because of the unique shape of the rounded doubled band, it would best fit a size 9.

As reminder, please no swimming, bathing or heavy exercise with this ring; it is an ancient fossil after all. Please no polishing or buffing as that will remove its lovely oxidation.

Please note because I use an environmentally friendly, and old style of oxidation, the dark oxidation colors may and will be uneven. Rather than a solid color, many deep colors come out in this process such as cobalt blues, deep purples and stormy grays. — All another benefit of using non-harsh patina techniques, you get a true oxidization effect.

** PLEASE NOTE: I can not make changes to sizing or oxidation preferences once a piece is complete; I am not set up to do so. How my items show here is the final product. Because of my power tool-free ways, and lack of traditional jewelers chemicals in my process, this piece is sold as you see it here. **
