Polished Ammonite Earrings

📍 Only available for shipment in Tunisia

The Story

Ammonites were a prolific group of marine mollusks that thrived in the world's oceans for over 300 million years before going extinct alongside the dinosaurs. These small specimens from Madagascar have been sliced and polished to reveal the complex internal chambers—known as septa—which the animal used to control its buoyancy. Handcrafted into wearable history, these earrings showcase the iconic golden spiral, a natural sign of mathematical perfection found in the deep past. Because they are natural fossils, each pair carries a unique history, preserved in mineralized stone for over 100 million years.

Heritage & Authenticity Note

 * Quantity: Please note that each purchase is for ONE (1) pair of Polished Ammonite Earrings.

 * Authenticity: All items are guaranteed authentic by Dahr • Earth & Era. These are genuine fossils recovered from Madagascar and handcrafted for the gallery.

 * Natural Variation: Please note that the item pictured is a representative of our collection. Because these are natural treasures of the Earth, the specific ammonites you receive will vary in size, color, and pattern. We take care to select specimens that complement each other as a pair.

 * Nature’s Mark: As genuine fossils approximately 100 million years old, natural surface imperfections or varied mineral colors are expected. These are not defects but are characteristic signs of the item's genuine ancient nature and the fossilization process.

 * Handling: While designed for wear, fossilized material is inherently brittle. These earrings should be handled with care and protected from heavy impacts or being dropped on hard surfaces.

 * Return Policy: To maintain the integrity of our collection, all sales are final. No refunds are accepted except in extraordinary circumstances, solely at the discretion of the gallery.
