Handmade Solid Fine Silver Fossil Shark Tooth Necklace

£120.00
Limit 1 per order

An unusual necklace of a solid fine silver fossil sharks tooth created from an original find I made on the beach at Barton-on-Sea in Hampshire. Barton is famous for its fossils, in particular sharks teeth and shells, and I have been collecting them over many years, since my son fell in love with all things palaeontology when he was little (he grew out if it, I didn’t!).

This silver version of the original tooth was handmade using silver metal clay (a material incorporating recycled fine silver bound with organic compounds, that when fired leaves solid fine silver (99.9% pure silver) and a mould of the original tooth. It’s the ultimate in recycling and upcycling! It has been given a slight patina to highlight some of the textural detail from the tooth, and it hangs from a solid sterling silver chain.

This is a wonderfully unique piece for anyone who is a proud fossil lover and loves a bit of natural history or just someone who appreciates something a little bit different and handmade.

Details: Coming soon.

The necklace will be wrapped in recycled tissue paper in a recycled kraft or black box, tied with linen thread. A little bit of information about the tooth will be included.

This solid finer silver ammonite is one of a collection of shells, fossils and other beach finds that I have handmade, using beach finds that I have collected and the alchemy of silver clay. This particular fossil was found in Charmouth in Dorset. In keeping with my signature style I have added a small sea-glass nugget detail, which is a gorgeous rare Teal colour, and wrapped in recycled fine silver wire. Also in keeping with my desire to create jewellery you can wear flexibly, the necklace can be work with both the ammonite and the sea glass together, or you can choose to wear the sea glass or ammonite separately - making it a very versatile piece that can be switched around to suit your mood and what you are wearing. As singles the pendants also work well for layering with other necklaces. The necklace comes with a 45cm chain as standard as this is the most popular length, but if you would like a shorter or longer chain please just drop me a message and I will happily arrange.
