The Thalassa Ammonite & Baroque Pearl Pendant honours the untamed spirit of the sea. In Greek mythology, Thalassa is the divine female personification of the wild and beautiful oceans.
People have regarded Ammonites through spiritual and folkloric lenses since ancient times. They have been worn for magical protection, seen as symbols of gods, and carried as talismans of good luck over the ages. To create this pendant, a cast was taken from an actual fossil unearthed along the cliffs of the Jurassic Coast, capturing the beauty created over 140 million years ago.The Ammonite’s outward-growing spiral is a talisman for personal growth and evolution.
Hanging from each Ammonite is a Baroque Pearl. These are named after the Portuguese word barroco, meaning an imperfect or misshapen pearl. These are pearls in imperfectly stunning, irregular shapes and are made by natural processes, which ensures that no two piece will ever be the same. This pendant features a 'fireball' baroque pearl.
Wear these to honour the beauty and fierceness of your own evolution.
Pendant sold separately. It will arrive on a beautiful complimentary silk tie in a neutral colour that can be worn tied at the neck for versatile styling. If you prefer a chain, please find my recommended Foundation Chains here.
The Making: This piece was created by casting directly from a real fossil to perfectly capture its rare form, blended with traditional hand fabrication silversmithing and jewellery making techniques. These are age-old processes, and the aesthetic is raw and rustic, to evoke the feeling of an unearthed or found artefact.
*Material: Recycled eco sterling silver .925
A Note on Nature’s Magic Each pearl is beautifully distinct. Baroque Pearls vary from pearl to pearl. The variations in size, shape, shade, and finish are part of the charm— proof that your pendant is truly one of a kind.
