The cycle of life pendant

The cycle of life, ammonite pendant in sterling silver

The cycle of life unfolds in all its splendor through this silver ammonite pendant. These enigmatic marine creatures, once masters of the oceans, now present themselves in the form of fossils, bearing witness to their millennia-old history. Their shells, resembling those of snails but far more impressive, reveal a complex arrangement of chambers and partitions, providing a safe haven for the inhabitant and perfect buoyancy balance.

The origin of the name "ammonite," derived from their spiral shell, evokes the powerful horns of rams. Pliny the Elder honored them by calling them "the horns of Ammon," a vibrant homage to the attributes of the Egyptian god Amun. Thus, these fossils are not only prehistoric relics but also symbols laden with history and mystery.

The ammonite transcends time and space to become a powerful symbol of the eternal cycles of life. Its spiral shape, evoking infinity, forcefully reminds us that every end marks the beginning of a new journey. Through the ages, it has captivated the imagination of humans, inviting them to meditate on the mysteries of existence and the inevitable continuity of nature.

This pendant, a delicate ammonite dating back to the Lower Jurassic, has been carefully reproduced in silver and suspended by a small ring. It pays homage to the timeless beauty of life on Earth, a poignant reminder of our unbreakable ties to the past and the future.

For enthusiasts of paleontology and prehistoric biology, or for those enchanted by the magic of the Jurassic, this pendant represents much more than a simple accessory. It embodies a fascination with the wonders of our planet and the profound connection that binds us to it.
