[Shan Hai Ji] Echo I - Pyrite Ammonite Necklace

[Shan Hai Ji] (Mountain Remains Chronicle) Echo I - Pyrite Ammonite Necklace • Shan Hai Series • Animal bones and leather are the primary materials for this collection, where art collides with skeletal structures to give birth to these creations. Each unique skeleton exists in its natural, unaltered state, representing the final form of an individual, extraordinary life. It's akin to how each of us strives to live authentically in our own time. Lamarck's theory of evolution, emphasizing use and disuse, posits that skeletal forms are the ultimate adaptations for survival through generations. We invite you to join us as observers, collectively cherishing these final mementos of life. • Design Concept • This series draws inspiration from pyrite ammonites, using metal inlay to highlight the most captivating aspects of these fossils. Each fossil is a testament to eons of accumulation, gradually forming and then unearthed from deep within the earth's strata. What we see in these fossils are precious remnants, carefully selected by the slow, continuous processes of nature. Pyrite ammonites are ammonite fossils where the original shell has been replaced by pyrite. Their formation requires low-oxygen, organic-rich, and sulfurous environments. Under these conditions, iron ions react with hydrogen sulfide to produce pyrite, gradually substituting the original calcium carbonate structure. This mineralization process often preserves the ammonite's spiral structure and internal details, resulting in a high degree of preservation and a metallic visual effect. These are commonly found in specific geological layers in regions like Germany, England, and Russia. • Basic Information • Dimensions: 44x37x18mm (excluding bail) Materials: 925 Silver + Pyrite Ammonite Fossil • Contents • - Pendant / Necklace (Optional) - Silver Polishing Cloth - Thick Jewelry Clear Seal Bag • Jewelry Care • - If not wearing for an extended period, store in a sealed bag to slow oxidation. - Minimize contact with other metals or hard objects to avoid scratches. - If metal tarnishes, use the silver polishing cloth for care. • Custom Sizing • Each piece in Shan Hai Ji is handcrafted and one-of-a-kind.
