Ammonites are the fossilized, hard shells of extinct mollusks. Their closest relative is the chambered Nautilus from the Pacific and Indian oceans. The generic name, ammonite, was given centuries ago, because of its resemblance to the ram-like horns of Ammon, the Egyptian god of life and reproduction.

These beautiful ammonite fossil earrings are set in silver plated alloy settings with drop earring posts. 

These ammonite earrings are approximately 1 inch long to the post and 3/4 of an inch wide at the wides point of the fossil.
