Red Ammonites are very striking; whole ammonite fossils with a sheen or slight opal that reflects in a sheer color of red and some even in a slight hint of green but mostly in red. I love working with them because of their depth of color and the reflective red almost looks like the ammonite is fiery. I’ve been lucky enough to find them in earthy colors with brilliant red sheens and then mix with a variety if specialty stones and crystals.
This one I’ve hand wire wrapped in non-tarnish brass wire supporting wires and coils highlight the earthy tones. The striking marks remind me of a tiger’s stripes in a deep brown color against a taupe. It is the focal pendant to the necklace set against just a hint of Swarovski crystals in black and copper and graduated heishi shells from the Philippians.
