Silver and Trilobite Heart-shaped Pendant
Long ago the area of Wyoming was submerged in a shallow sea where marine life such as Brachiopods and Trilobites lived. After millions of years these creatures fossilized and turned to stone and now can be collected at quarries in Wyoming and Utah.
This wondrous fossil Trilobite has been set in a textured sterling silver setting. The back of the pendant is an oak leaf texture I created by rolling the softened silver sheet through my rolling mill with a leaf I collected on a walk. The sterling silver was oxidized dark and then polished to brighten the high spots and enhance the details.
Metal: Sterling silver
Stone: Fossil Trilobite
Pendant: 1-1/4 inches long x 3/4 inch wide (3cm x 2cm)
Necklace Length: 16 inches (41cm) plus 2 inch (5cm) sterling silver extender chain
The necklace will come packaged ready for gift-giving.
