Capturing the Past

I am a lover of ammonites/ammolites! They fascinate me to no end. I recieved this Ammonite from Canada and decided that I didn't want to do anything that would distract the eye from the incredible beauty of the stone. To that end, I simply framed it in a 14k gold fill netting utilizing a classic lace making technique known as needle lace. A solitary green sapphire adorns the bail. The toggle is also handmade, but I had to settle for Swarovski accents for a nice color match because I had no other green sapphires that would work on the gauge of wire I had to use to create a sturdy toggle.
I love this piece so much that I've decided to make it part of my private collection.
