Ram's Crown Ring
The Ram's Crown Ring, a distinguished piece in our Timeless Treasures collection, brings the mystique of ancient seas to your fingertips. Much like the Ram’s Crown Pendant, this ring showcases a carefully selected and ethically sourced rams horn oyster fossil, though much smaller. This Cretaceous fossil is cradled by delicate, hand-shaped soft solder, which wraps around the stone, securing it within an adjustable band designed for comfort and versatility. Encased in UV resin, the fossil's natural beauty and colors are accentuated in a slick finish, creating a durable and captivating piece. The Ram's Crown Ring is more than just jewelry; it's a wearable artifact, connecting you to the deep history of our planet and adding a touch of timeless elegance to your style.
Ramshorn oysters, scientifically known as *Gryphaea*, are an extinct genus of bivalve mollusks that thrived during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. Their distinctive feature is a coiled, horn-like shell, resembling a ram's horn, which gives them their common name. These oysters were filter feeders, living on the seabed and extracting nutrients from the water. *Gryphaea* fossils are commonly found in sedimentary rocks, providing valuable insights into ancient marine environments and serving as important index fossils for dating geological strata.
