Description:

Ancient Seas, Lower Cambrian to late Permian, ca. 520 to 250 million years ago. A lovely and wearable bracelet and matching earring set that features 8 fossilized trilobites set in modern sterling silver bezels. Each fossil has an open bezel, and the bracelet has a toggle clasp that adjusts the size, the earrings have sterling silver wire hooks, and all pieces are fully wearable! These "sea bugs" are of the Proetida genus and exhibit the classic ovoid trilobite shape with the headshield flush against the side. The surface is a lustrous black and gray with the ridges of the thorax segments and slight bump of the eye facets nicely preserved. This wearable prehistoric jewelry will really make people "bug out" over your taste in accessories!
