Description: The pendant for this necklace is an orthoceras fossil that I made a case for, by doing gourd stitch; using black, mahogany red, lead grey, bronze, and brass, size 11, seed beads. The bottom of the case has tassels of small, onyx nuggets, and size 11, seed beads of the same colors. For the neckpiece itself, I used double strands of the same color seed beads; intersected in the middle by banded agate, tiger eye and hematite rounds; wooden donuts and Czech glass beads . The length is 51 cm. (20").It closes with a gold tone lobster claw clasp. The orthoceras can be removed from its case to be held and looked at. It measures: 4.7 x 3.4 x 1.2 cm. (1 3/4" x 1 1/4" x 3/8"). Approximately 400,00,000 years old, Orthoceras are ancestral cousins of the modern squid and octopus. Thus, my nickname for this fossil is Squiddy. This fossil comes from the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. Octopus and squid are by far the most intelligent of all invertebrates. They are able to change the pattern and coloration of their body for camouflage. The necklace comes with a reversible black velvet / oxblood, metallic, faux alligator, storage pouch measuring: 14.5 x 10 cm. (5" x 4") that can be worn as a wristlet while wearing the necklace.If you would like matching earrings, please contact me, and I can send pictures and prices of ideas.
