Vintage Trilobite Fossil Ring & Earrings
Cool vintage ring and earring set featuring three trilobite fossils. Trilobites, now extinct, were a species of marine arthropod who's first appearance in the fossil record is around 521 million years ago. The name means "three lobes" on account of their distinctive exoskeleton that divides longitudinally into three distinct sections. They died out during the mass-extinction of the Permian age, around 251.9 million years ago, having been one of the most successful of all early animals surviving for 270 million years and with over 22,000 distinct species discovered to date.
These three guys are mounted in sterling silver - a ring and stud earrings that date from the 1980s.

Condition
We offer detailed and accurate condition reports on each listing. These pieces are antique, vintage, or pre-loved, often over 100 years old so they're going to have lived a life. A healthy patina and the odd scuff/scrape are quite normal... it's part of their charm! Everything we present has been checked over by our jeweller and should be good for wear for many years to come (unless otherwise stated) but please remember to treat them with appropriate care and consideration for their age.
