Are your fossils real?
Yes. Every fossil used in our jewellery is a genuine fossil, carefully selected and crafted into a unique piece of wearable history. We never use imitation fossils or plastic replicas. Each item is supplied with a signed Certificate of Authenticity confirming that your fossil is genuine.
How old are the fossils?
The age depends on the type of fossil, but many are tens or even hundreds of millions of years old. Our collection includes fossils from different geological periods, allowing you to wear a remarkable piece of Earth's ancient history.
Can I wear fossil jewellery every day?
Yes. Our fossil jewellery is designed to be worn and enjoyed. Each piece is carefully crafted to protect the fossil while creating beautiful, practical jewellery. As with any fine jewellery, we recommend removing it during heavy manual work or sporting activities.
Is fossil jewellery fragile?
Most fossils used in our jewellery are surprisingly durable, especially once they have been professionally prepared and mounted. However, they are natural specimens, so they should be treated with the same care as any gemstone or fine jewellery.
Can fossil jewellery get wet?
Occasional contact with water is unlikely to cause problems, but we recommend removing your jewellery before swimming, showering or prolonged exposure to water. Keeping your fossil jewellery dry will help preserve both the fossil and the sterling silver setting for many years.
What certificate does the jewellery come with?
Every piece of fossil jewellery is supplied with a signed Certificate of Authenticity confirming that the fossil is genuine. Your jewellery also arrives beautifully presented in a luxury velvet-lined gift box within an embossed presentation case, together with our full-colour information booklet.
Is fossil jewellery a good gift?
Absolutely. Fossil jewellery makes a unique and meaningful gift for birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, graduations or special occasions. It is especially popular with fossil collectors, nature lovers, geologists, science enthusiasts and anyone looking for something truly different.
How is fossil jewellery made?
Each piece begins with a genuine fossil that is carefully selected for its beauty and quality. Many of our designs are handcrafted in sterling silver to complement the natural shape and character of the fossil while protecting it for everyday wear.
Is every piece unique?
Yes. No two fossils are ever exactly alike. Each fossil was formed naturally over millions of years, meaning every piece of jewellery has its own unique colours, patterns and characteristics.
Where do your fossils come from?
Our fossils are sourced from reputable suppliers around the world. Different fossils originate from different locations, including the United Kingdom, Madagascar, Morocco, the United States and many other fossil-rich regions. Wherever possible, we provide the origin of each fossil within the individual product description.
Can fossil jewellery be worn by anyone?
Yes. Fossil jewellery is suitable for anyone who appreciates natural history, science or unusual jewellery. Our collection includes designs for both men and women, with styles ranging from elegant and understated to bold statement pieces.
