Timeless and effortlessly wearable, the “Oriah” necklace features a beautifully preserved ammonite fossil in warm tones of golden honey and deep caramel. Its natural spiral invites the eye—each curve a quiet record of ancient oceans and the passage of time. The fossil is simply set on my sleek, hand-forged sterling silver bail, letting the organic form take center stage. The pendant is suspended on a strand of smooth 6mm smoky quartz beads, softly translucent with earthy depth, and accented with a scattering of pale aquamarine beads (7–8mm), whose delicate blue hue adds a serene, watery contrast. Each bead is individually wire-wrapped by hand in solid sterling silver and finished with a secure sterling toggle clasp. This piece is hand-finished to order in your preferred length—please choose from the dropdown menu and allow up to four (4) business days prior to shipping. Details:
• Pendant dimensions: ~1-1/2 inches tall x 1 inch wide x 1/4 inch thick
• Materials: Natural Ammonite Fossil, Smoky Quartz, Aquamarine, Sterling Silver
• Length: Your choice of 16”, 18”, or 20”
• Clasp: Solid sterling silver toggle

Gemstone Properties:
• Ammonite – Fossils symbolize eternity, time, and transformation. Ammonites are believed to bring grounding and protection, harmonizing energy flow and connecting us with Earth’s deep history.
• Smoky Quartz – A powerful grounding stone, smoky quartz is linked to the Root Chakra and thought to dissolve negative energy while encouraging clarity and calm.
• Aquamarine – Associated with the Throat Chakra, aquamarine inspires truth and calm communication. It is believed to soothe the soul and invite emotional clarity.
Care Instructions: Store in a soft pouch to prevent scratches. Clean sterling silver gently with a polishing cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and submersion in water to protect the fossil.

How These Gemstones Work Together: This combination blends the ancient grounding energy of fossilized ammonite with the protective clarity of smoky quartz and the calming fluidity of aquamarine. Together, they create a harmonious energy—rooted in the past, present in the moment, and open to peaceful forward flow.
⸻
Thoughtful Pricing: The price reflects the rarity and natural beauty of each hand-selected ammonite fossil, the artisan hand-forging of the sterling silver bail, wire wrapping in sterling silver, and the made-to-order chain length for a perfect custom fit.

My necklaces are priced to reflect the rarity of the gemstones, the amount of sterling silver used, and the time-intensive craftsmanship involved. Many feature large, unique focal stones that are more costly and harder to source. Each necklace is hand-wired and custom-finished to order in your selected length, using only solid sterling silver—not plated or pre-fabricated materials. Compared to smaller jewelry, necklaces often require more complex construction and a higher level of detail. The pricing reflects the quality, artistry, and intention behind every piece.
