These unusual and quirky earrings are made from semi-precious stones, a non-identical pair of hand-cast resin ammonites and sterling silver. They are designed to complement each other but not exactly match. They can be worn as a pair or as statement individual pieces. The drop below the earwire is 2¾ inches (7cm). Resin is beautifully light and this pair of eye-catching earrings weigh just 9.86g between them (average 4.93g each).

The original ammonites were found by myself when fossil hunting at Runswick Bay, just north of Whitby. This lovely town was my home for around 10 years. Ammonites, belemnites, gryphaea and other fossils are commonly found on this stretch of coastline. The shimmering purple ammonites are teamed with pretty amethyst beads. Amethyst is a natural tranquiliser and gentle healer, helping to dissolve negativity and relieve stresses, strains, sadness and grief. Amethyst is particularly good for obsessive behaviours and addictions. It’s also said to be useful for money and legal issues. Ideas may come together as focus is achieved and thoughts may transform into actions.

These earrings come in a gift box with the descriptive enclosure photographed which tells the new owner of this unique jewellery all about its qualities. A complementary polishing cloth is also included.
