Ancient Seas #6 — An Ammonite and Ammolite Pendant Necklace in Oxidized Sterling Silver

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 Citrine and an oxidized silver accent flank one the side of the Ammonite to complete the piece.

The diameter of the pendant is 1.3 inches wide by 1.55 inches in height. This finishes with a sterling silver oxidized cable chain that is just under 18 inches, with a small lobster clasp in the back. — The large bail on the back of the piece allows for removal of this chain to switch out for one of your others, should you choose.

As reminder, please no swimming, bathing or heavy exercise with this necklace; 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, chain lengths, 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. **
