Trilobite Fossil Pendant – Fossil Jewelry

This striking trilobite pendant from our fossil jewelry collection features a fossilized trilobite, "Elrathia Kingi." This extinct form of marine life was the first invertebrate, flourishing some 450-550 million years ago. Prior to the dinosaurs, trilobites were the most numerous species on earth. When worked into jewelry such as this pendant, trilobites are true modern-day stars for the touch of ancient life they bring to contemporary designs.

The top accent on these trilobite earrings are hand carved from ancient ivory, specifically mammoth ivory that has lain buried in the earth or permafrost for upwards of 15,000 years. To hold a piece of mammoth ivory in your hand is to step back many millennia to another time when these wondrous creatures still roamed the earth. Mammoth ivory makes a stunning addition to jewelry and fine art works, and it is valued the world over for its unique history.
