"Forevermore" Fossilized Ant in Amber Sterling Ring- Size 6.5

$ 105.00

This yellow-orange fossilized amber specimen is exceptionally special because it includes a tiny prehistoric ant forever frozen within it. One can imagine this tiny being crawling the forest floor thousands or even millions of years ago, perhaps as far back as the Carboniferous period when trees first took their evolutionary leap and began producing sap that would one day become what we know as amber. Hold the ring into the light and it will reveal not only the ant at its center, but a complex composition of colors, shapes and inclusions. This ring's band includes a feathering design and is a size 6.5


Components discovered in Nashville TN 



After each artifact or specimen has been discovered it is sent through a careful restoration process before being used in a design. If a particularly unique patina is found to add design value to an artifact, it is preserved and/or sealed to ensure its longevity and protection. Each and every item is made by hand by owners Nathan and Ali, therefore, some small imperfections or variations may be present in your design. To us, this only adds to the beauty and rarity of your particular piece. 1888 Design does not claim ownership over the design or production of any vintage, antique, or otherwise repurposed object used in the creation of our jewelry. 

Each 1888 Design piece contains unique elements of symbolic or historic value that mean something different to us all. Let's break down what the elements in this design are

Amber
Amber is fossilized tree resin, appreciated for its color and natural beauty since Neolithic times. The sap is the natural healer of the tree, representing the ability to heal as well as protection from sickness.

Ant

Ants are truly incredible little creatures They've been on this planet for hundreds of millions of years having survived multiples mass extinctions. The feature most commonly associated with the ant is their incredible strength, they are able to lift objects 5000 times heavier than their own body weight, but a hat is truly amazing is the social structures and societies they build. Few species work together so harmoniously as they do. They is even a species of ant called the Leaf cutter ant that has agriculture, and cultivates fungus for food!

FAQ

Can I resize this item?

If a product page does not have a drop down option for size selections, or if the product description does not state a need for the customer to input their desired size in the notes section of their purchase, then we are NOT able to resize the item. Some exceptions can be made with chain lengths. Please reach out to us at inspire@1888design.com and we will try to accommodate as best we can.

Are your earrings hypoallergenic?

All earring posts are made out of sterling silver, stainless steel, or brass metals unless otherwise stated in the product description.
