Elrathia Kingii TRILOBITE PENDANT $65 Sterling Silver Jewelry STARBORN CREATIONS

Description: From our Meteorite, Tektite, and Fossil Collection, we have selected 11 Trilobite fossils crafted into Pendants set in Sterling Silver for this listing. These Elrathia Kingii Trilobites are one of the best known and most easily recognized of all Trilobites species. They are from the Cambrian Age and lived over 500 million years ago. While we have been told that these specimens are possibly from New York State, it is more likely that these are from the Wheeler Formation in Utah. These are genuine whole fossils, not cast reproductions. Each fossil is individually selected for its quality, then cleaned and extracted from its surrounding rock. Broken and/or partial/incomplete Trilobites are NOT used. Note that all have complete Cephalons (heads), not trimmed or cut ones. Each pendant is then custom made by hand, based on the individual specimen, thus the slight variations visible in each of our samples. The back of each bail (jump-ring) features the shooting star logo of STARBORN CREATIONS and is also stamped 925 to authenticate that these are Sterling Silver settings. To make this a complete gift, we also include an 18" (with a 2 "extension) snake chain. The chain that is included is Sterling Silver plating over Brass, NOT solid Sterling Silver. As chain lengths and style are highly personal, it is possible to easily replace the included gift chain with a different one of your choosing, whether from your own collection or from your favorite jeweler. As much as a ruler and a quarter are included in each photo for reference, all measurements below are to the nearest 1/16th of an inch and are rounded down, NOT up. Measurements do not include any length added as a result of measuring the bail or any part of its attaching structure--it is of the outside of the oval shaped setting only. All photos were taken with 3 daylight, color-balanced, compact fluorescent bulbs to provide even and consistent lighting results, whether photographed against a white or gray background. As a result, I have NOT had to adjust the brightness or contrast of the posted photos. They do show the most accurate color and shading nuances. However, the bright "hot spots" visible on the silver surfaces are the results of reflections from these lights. # 1) 1 1/8" X 7/8" X 1/8", total weight (not including chain) 5.6 grams. As shown in the 2nd photo, the back of this piece features an adorable "baby" Trilobite measuring 3/8" X 1/4". While these pieces are NOT intended to be double-sided, in this case, this demonstrates the care and attention to detail by the artists at STARBORN CREATIONS who were intent on preserving this uniquely spectacular "double fossil". # 2) 1 1/8" X 7/8" X 3/16", total weight (not including chain) 5.5 grams. # 3) 1 1/16" X 13/16" X 1/8", total weight (not including chain) 5.9 grams. # 4) 1 3/16" X 7/8" X 1/8", total weight (not including chain) 6.1 grams # 5) 1 3/16" X 13/16" X 1/8", total weight (not including chain) 5.1 grams. # 6) 1 1/8" X 3/4" X 1/8", total weight (not including chain) 4.9 grams. # 7) 1 3/16" X 13/16" X 1/8", total weight (not including chain) 5.6 grams. # 8) 1 3/16" X 7/8" X 1/8", total weight (not including chain) 4.7 grams # 9) 1 1/8" X 13/16" X 3/16", total weight (not including chain) 6.4 grams # 10) 1 1/8 " X 3/4" X 1/8", total weight (not including chain) 4.3 grams # 11) 1 3/16" X 13/16" X 3/16", total weight (not including chain) 6.6 grams Last Photo--no #) This is a typical view of the back side of these pendants to show they are not double sided or reversible. Some may show minimal detail, others raw stone, others cut smooth. [After stumbling upon the unique back to Pendant # 1, I had to drop this photo temporarily. As soon as any one of these pendants sell, I will put this photo back up. Trust me, it isn't interesting or exciting. It just shows what the average back looks like...which should NOT be what you base your decision on! Either imagine what the rest of the # 1 pendant would look like WITHOUT the little Trilobite...or ask and I can send you this photo.] If you are looking for a pair of Trilobite Earrings to go with and match these Pendants, we carry a nice selection of different sizes, settings, and prices to choose from, from plain settings to fancy and some with White Topaz crystals. Please see our ebay listings HERE. After deciding which item you want, be sure to include a note (with your purchase, if possible) through ebay, stating which numbered specimen you prefer. The above pictures are of the actual item that you will receive. You may want to include a second choice in case someone else's order comes in first. This is because I usually leave the photos of a sold specimen in the listing after a customer receives that item. This way, the specimen and the photo can be compared to be certain that you are satisfied. All orders will be honored in the order in which payment is received. If no numbered preference is included, we will pick out what we feel is the best choice available at that time. PLEASE NOTE: Our photo "studio" is controlled and maintained by Grace and Andi, who have generously contributed some of their own hair to "highlight and enhance" the background of some of our photos, since they do spend about 20 hours a day sleeping there. This was done without our knowledge or permission and we tried our best to remove all that we could before we started shooting...and we failed, miserably! While this IS an apparent "feature" of some of our photos, we will NOT be including any cat hair with your purchase!

However, if you are not happy with your decision, you can either exchange or return your STARBORN purchase, no questions asked, within 30 days of receiving it, as long as it is still in new, unaltered/undamaged condition, and returned with any/all accompanying paperwork or certification.
