Sterling Silver Crinoid Star Fossil Stud Earrings
Sterling Silver Crinoid Star Fossil Stud Earrings
We love the intricate details, shapes and stories of fossils! Each captured and encased in minerals and rocks many millions of years ago.... it's truly amazing! Scott is a geologist, and we are surrounded at home by the most amazing fossil specimens to draw inspiration from, collected from locations all over the world.
These beautiful tiny fossil stud earrings feature a Crinoid Star, which is a segment of the fossilised stem of a Sea Lily, formed in the early Jurassic between 175-200 million years ago. Moulds have been taken of the fossils, and exact replica's then created in solid sterling silver before being fitted with sterling silver ear posts.
Historically in some parts of Britain, the columnals forming the stem were called fairy money, and star-shaped examples of these were associated with the sun by ancient peoples.
Truly gorgeous little stud earrings that will make the most fabulous addition to any jewellery collection, or make a treasured gift for someone special!
